Six percent of people think they can beat a grizzly bear (1 Viewer)

Polar bears you're already dead.

Unless your Deadpool.

or a gorilla. Guiness says they've been recorded as lifting 1800 pounds over their head. Think about that for a minute.
No human is close to that.

Chimps too are much stronger than humans, and quicker. Fight an adult male Chimp, ill pass. Yet 17% think they could take em.

Let's forget about Grizzlies and Gorillas. Those are ridiculous. A chimpanzee will also take your head off. We are smart
but also very weak vs the rest of the mammal kingdom.

Who Would Win a Human-vs.-Chimp Wrestling Match?

In the most detailed study to date comparing the muscles of chimps and humans, researchers found that chimps are 1.35 times more powerful than people.

without tools I’d be useless against most mammals. Anyone who thinks they can beat a gorilla is certifiably insane…Mike Tyson included. Even a chimp would kill practically any human. A bear? Lol yeah right. A bear cub maybe.

I can definitely kill a goose…but that’s because the hate is pretty high. I’d gratefully take a claw or two and a few pecks to get to one of those things necks.

Hollow bones... the one I killed came out of some bushes flapping and making straight for my then toddler son. I reflex punted the thing and there was a horrible crunching noise. It was flapping, hissing, and flailing around so I grabbed my son and took him inside before going back out to check. It was dead when I got back out there.

Large mammal or reptile that punt would have done nothing.

Deal and you promise Red wasps are not dangerous.

don’t know what kind of wasps we have in MD but they never bother me….Yellowjackets? I had the misfortune of running over on old exposed root in my side yard, unbeknownst to me those little jerks had a nest in there….I got hit about 7 times before I even realize what was happening, lucky I’m not allergic….usually I’m a live and let live type but I sprayed that nest out of existence….

So kicking works. Nice to know.

Just be clear- goose kicking is ok
Goose stepping…not do much

Yellowjackets have their nest underground. I was pounded once when mowing my grandma's yard, it wasn't fun.

Red wasps have a powerful sting. I found out the hard way. I was getting rid of junk around my home. One of the items
was an old bbq grill we no longer used. Red wasps used it to make a nest. Their sting hit me hard. Their sting is greater
than a yellow jacket. Trust me. Their visible nest they are cool. Just don't attack it .

I spoke nothing of Geese. I only mentioned Goose. Even though, after many childhood battles with them while fishing I have come to the conclusion their only real power is the power of fear. I'm pretty sure nature's testosterone levels rank something like this.

1. Male Goose
2. Female Goose
3. Bull Shark

Bread amplifies #1 and #2. If the goose bite had any sort of power or sharp teeth humans would fail to exist and Stephen King's book on birds would be classified as non-fiction.

I was raised on a farm. A goose could kill a person.

Not physically, but they startle the shirt out of you, which could lead to a heart attack.

We had several Embdem Geese, and one of the Ganders would sneak attack me from behind whenever the opportunity would arise, startling me which made me lose my shirt every time. I finally cooked that goose. Literally!

I used to think that I could take on a large dog until one day a large Pit Bull got hold of my forearm. Thank goodness that dog had a shock collar on him and the owner was quick with zapping it, or from what I could tell from the power of those jaws, my goose would have been cooked.

My son was so sad, he cried for the goose.

I felt bad for a second... hoped it did not suffer, but I was in Colorado at the time and those things are everywhere. Noisy feathered vessels of pure hate.... and crap.

I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice. Do they channel all their hate into their geese so tgey can fly down here and spread it about?

Remember Timothy Treadwell, aka Grizzly Man, and his wife?

I hear they were delicious

Years ago, the apartment complex I was living at decided to add geese to their pond. Worst decision ever. Goose crap everywhere, they bit 3 kids. They finally had to get rid of them. I offered to do it free of charge, but was denied.

I mentioned this in an old thread saying what is the most afraid you've been. I had just moved into our new home.
I was checking the mail and felt a cold nose between my shoulders. I turned around and was looking at a 150lb
Rotweiler, Images of my life flashed before me. I can't outrun or physically overpower it. I was lucky. This dog put both paws on my shoulders and started licking me. If he had bad intentions I would not be here

I think it says something when geese are included in discussions involving gorillas and bears.
They are feathered ninja terrorists, I’m telling you.

I envision this is a cage match like Thunderdome. So we are toast without weapons. Our big brains only become delicacies to larger animals. We are slow, weak and have no outer protective exoskeleton or shell. With our soft bodies and exposed critical areas (stomach, face) we just don’t have a chance against speed/power mixed with claws and sharp pointed teeth.

Anything that is a predator bigger than a house cat and humans are done unless they know how to fight like Kimbo Slice or have a knife.

Hand to hand we have no chance even against large dogs 1 on 1. Now give us even gladiator weapons and the we got a chance against any of them. Not a great chance but without them we are in the goose and house cat level of threat
