Long is dragon in Chinese,Since all Chinese people are dragon obsessed autists they name every dinosaur species -dragon. They even translate existing names. Shaochilong literally means "shark toothed dragon" because it was the first Chinese Carcharodontosaur.

>Successful cougar attacks on humans are also themselves rare, as 85% of attacks fail.
What are you considering "successful"? If the cougar runs away but the person still dies - is that a "successful" attack? Or is it only successful if the cougar gets a meal?
Because that would severely skew the stat.
>the majority should be able to fend one off.
Fending off a predatory attack is VERY different than killing.
OP just said "defeat", but if we're saying "fending off" is a defeat, than a 10 year old can beat a cougar with rocks and shouting.

No definitely not. They regularly hunt 400+ pound bull elks. Put it this way - did you think you could 1v1 a 400 pound bull elk? If not you’ve got no chance vs the mountain lion

WHAT IS SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION?
Speculative evolution is the exploration and imagining of how life might evolve in the future or could have evolved in alternate pasts. It's a multimedia sci-fi genre that harnesses scientific principles to create detailed and plausible hypothetical creatures, ecosystems, and evolutionary histories.

I have an animal related story about surviving 3 pitbull attacks and a racoon attack unscathed, but it involves some /x/ shit too. A succubus who said she is a fallen arch angel of punishment that took a liking to me a long time ago.

I was homeless and sleeping in a park (Only way to not get jailed and forced into a shelter or program) where i guess probably dog fighting happened at night.

A long time ago, my succubus like fended off a pitbull attack by screaming through me at it saying she was an angel of death. As in I randomly started screaming like a possessed person (I am possessed) "IM AN ANGEL OF DEATH" in this inhuman level of loudness. I didn't intend to scream, my action was to grab my knife on my belt that was like 6 inches long to try to fight it incase I won, i thought i was going to die by being mauled.

The pitbull was a large one like this and trying to genuinely kill/maul me at night. (was in a park illegally to camp because homeless)

The pitbull charges and tried to bite as hard as it could over 10 times but....could not connnect it's bites to my leg or arm or waist?

It snapped inches from me or an inch from me every time into it's own mouth hard enough to break it's teeth biting it's own mouth. It looked visibly terrified of my succubus when my succubus screamed at it and was quivering in fear as it ran around. Then it went back to its owner.

The other time, one charged me when I was sleeping, and then ran away when my succubus did something once again. Then one other time, 3 of them circled me in a small pack (owner walking all 3 at midnight in a park where homeless slept, possibly to kill homeless) my succubus did something and they went away.

I also had a racoon charge me like it was going to kill screaming the entire way, it ran through a stream to get me because I was on it's territory or something. It was like it was going to pounce on me but did a complete literal 180 and sprinted off after my succubus talked through me at it.
