What's the largest/scariest animal you think you could beat in a fight??

The only way to really find out is by experiment. I mean, this is the science section, not the philosophy section. Go out and fight something.

Bit by a BLUEGILL!  I didn't even know that those little dang things had teeth!  But was scuba diving, and when it came at me, I found out.  First tried to take a bite out of my mask (interesting perspective) and then bit my forehead.\n\nWas also bit by a horse.  :-)

The Tasmanian Devil (sarcophilus harrisii), a marsupial would for sure win the fight as it is an extremely aggresive animal and has very sharp teeth too. The devil will attack while a wolverine and badger would only defend themselves. The badger would lose the fight though.

A Black Sea Bass!\nNow I've been SCUBA diving since 1971 and have been around the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Southern California and thought I'd pretty much seen everything but on this one trip, to San Clemente Island, I was SCUBA diving with a couple of girls on a chartered dive boat off from San Clemente Island one Summer, and I was watching, (with great humor), the two girls trying to load their spearguns down on the bottom in about 30 feet of water when all of a sudden, (on the far side of the girls), a bass about the size of a Volkswagon Beatle comes lumbering up to see what's going on! The first thing that came to mind was the "Fish Pool" on board the dive boat for the person who nabs the largest fish of the day, (and my speargun was loaded!). The second thought was, if I don't make the perfect "kill" shot on the first try, I'm either going for a LONG ride or, at worst, I'll lose my only speargun! Then, as my heart started idling down, I realized that this fish was on the endangered species list and there was no way I was going to get nailed for shooting one these bad boys!!! So, just for fun, I placed my hands on either side of my girlfriend's head and gently turned it towards the fish and watched as she filled the water with frantic bubbles as she shook her girlfriend and pointed to the fish, at which time that girl started blowing bubbles like a freight train! Hillarious!!!\nAnyway, as we all settled down I drifted up and over the girls and headed gently over towards the fish. I got close enough to shake hands before he slowly turned and started heading towards deeper water! What a rush!\n(And me without even so much as a camera!!!!!)

Badger. They fight anything and if a Rhinocerous get ahold of a Badger it will bite his balls off while the Rhino charging for help.

In Africa, a pride of lions (male: ~400 lbs, female: ~280 lbs) pretty regularly hunt wildebeest (440-600 lbs), although they usually go after the sick or young ones.  Occasionally, they can take down a giraffe (2420-4250 lbs), but this doesn't happen often.  Elephants (11,000 lbs) and rhinos (2500 lbs) are just a little dangerous to be bothered.\nIn Asia, tigers can take down a water buffalo (1800-2600 lbs), although again, they usually go for the sick or young ones.\nThese are the cats with the largest prey.

You haven't been in the great outdoors(TM) much, have you? If you have spent your life in a city, in front of a computer you propably don't understand much about nature. \n\nAnyway, the donkey is not really scary, but all animals, especially big ones that you are not familiar with can be intimidating. I remember being scared by a cow once! (it does weigh more than a pro wrestler, after all)\n\nAs a general rule, animals are stronger than humans and are more capable of protecting themselves if they feel threatened (donkey kicks used to kill people...). Not to make you scared, but just to remind you that real nature is not a Disney version of the forest.

Roaches, Snakes most of all. I also fear dogs that I don't know or don't know me. When I was younger around 7 or 8 my sister and I was walking when we were and out of no where came this dog out of no where and bit her on the leg. She had to have around 100 stitches inside and out, and she still has the scar of it to this day.

I wonder your appetite for wildlife in this single question. All your questions have answers on situation. \n1. Hippo is heavier and bulkier. It is one of the most dangerous animals to roam around. If a hippo and rhino fight in water, the hippo will easily easily easily win. But on land, rhino has the speed (force) and armour to give a very tough fight. I believe the rhino could win after a tough fight.\n\n2. There was a story recently in India that a tiger which wanted to feed on a new born elephant calf, killed its mother. This would have been a wonderful eco sight but it was found only on investigation. If this is the case, then I believe a lion can take down an african male elephant depending on these two situations. \na) both are alone \nb) if elephant is not alone, it should have a baby calf to guard. \n\nHope this gives some food for your thought.

Not I! :D\n\nLOL My family raises wolves and I would rather have them by my side in the dark than anything else. Have you ever seen pissed wolves bare their teeth in the moonlight? LOL I don't think very many monsters, bad people, or clowns would mess with me then! It would be like having 6, 190lb. bodyguards with a jaw crush strength of 2,700 lbs. (which is quite a bit higher than the human skull can withstand btw) that can run up to 47 m.p.h.'s, and are willing to die for me. :D

My favorite least-favorite frightening critter would be Dranunculus, a worm that lives in the Nile.  it bores itself into through the skin and grows inside blood vessels.  It can reach dramatic lengths in the meter range.  Diagnostic approach:  you check blood vessels in eye lid for worms wiggling around in it.  In antiquity, people would make a cut in the vein and pull the worm free and roll it upon a stick.  Might be the origin of the Esculap.\n\nThere are other parasites that scare me.  Not the big critters.  i used to work on sharks, and I would take one of them guys over a worm any day of the week...

What do you mean by largest? Do you mean biggest weight or biggest length?\n\n**The heaviest snake in the world is the anaconda. They can weigh more then 500 pounds!\n\n**The longest snake in the world is the python. They can get to be about 33 feet!

This question makes as much sense as any of the other animal kumite 'can x animal beat y animal' questions that get asked every day, and I commend you on your creative choices.\n\nI would say it depends on the exact type of monkey.  \n\nA spider monkey would be able to use its remarkable agility and prehensile tail to swing up over and behind the gorilla, grasping the knife in its tail and stealthily slitting the gorilla's throat while the gorilla was still busy sharpening his popsicle stick on the sidewalk.\n\nHowever a douroucouli monkey would attempt to hypnotize the silver back.  Masters of mesmerism, the douroucouli would stare down the mighty hominoid, not realizing that an amputee veteran gorilla who has managed to maintain his iron grip on the troop is not the sort who's will is gonna go all floppy at the first sign of liquid puppy-dog eyes.  The douroucouli will approach with the knife hidden behind its back, confident in its abilities, only to be suddenly impaled through the top of its fuzzy little skull by the world-weary cynical ape.\n\nA Hanuman langur would gibber to himself in glee, both in the relative fortune the mysterious bald man paid him, but also at the fascinating shinyness of the razor-sharp blade he provided.  The langur would twitch and pace, fantasizing about how he intends to murder the gorilla, sneaking through the back alleys and bazaars stalking his prey, but at the first actual sight of the massive ape, he will turn tail and run, leaving the glittering blade behind to be picked up by a mysterious leathery hand.\n\nNow a pygmy marmoset, filled with beserker rage, will charge headlong at the gorilla.  Startled by the ferocity of the attack, the silver back won't even have time to react before the furry fury is upon him.  Unfortunately, the marmoset's anger far outweighs its muscle, and while the marmoset saws madly, attempting to inflict some damage, the gorilla will bemusedly squish him with a single finger thwack.\n\nSuddenly, the gorilla whirls as he detects a disturbance in the air behind him.  A glittering steel shank twirls past his face, nicking his ear as it tumbles past to bury itself in a nearby tree.  The gorilla scans the dense jungle undergrowth, tense, vibrating nearly as much as the knife blade thrumming away in the tree behind him.  His popsicle stick held low, ready to defend.  Then a dark shape bursts from the foliage, coming in fast and low.  The gorilla hops back, turning to the side to present a smaller target and ready to impale the oncoming form on the popsicle stick, but the shape darts to the left at the last second and sails past the gorilla.  Using his free hand and his good leg, the gorilla quickly pivots to follow it.  Pulling the knife from the tree is a huge male Mandrill, face blazing with colour.  The Mandrill flips the knife nonchalantly from paw to paw, and grins, revealing massive 4 inch canine teeth. \n\nThe gorilla knows that this will be the fight of his life...
