its simple really, if its 3/4th of my weight or less I have a good chance to beat it up, if its more then 5/4th heavier then me, I have a bad chance to beat it up, if its roughly my same weight class, odds could go either way.

simple as.
>>
>>4907310
That's not how it works. Interspecies can't be weightclassed vs humans, their muscle fibres are significantly different

A small primate can have grip strength on par with a NFL offensive lineman playing for the Packers

A small black bear can generate enough power in one swing to fracture a grown man's skull and leave him to bleed out in his brain

Humans are NOT capable of defeating most animals without their cheating sticks
>>

I'd kick a bear right in the nuts

>Interspecies can't be weightclassed vs humans, their muscle fibres are significantly different
it doesn't matter all that much, its mostly an issue of shear mass. idg a fuck if a monkey can hold me real good if he is the weight of a backpack. And IDG a fuck if an hippo doesnt have the manual dexterity of a surgeon if its the weight of a dump truck.

Its more an issue of macro physics instead of (relitively) minor factors.

I don't even know how you can imagine yourself killing an elephant. Even if the elephant is sleeping there's no punch kick or choke position possible for a human to kill a fucking elephant

My superior agility will surely let me prevail. I'll simply move behind the elephant and go to town on its hind legs.

What can an elephant actually do though? If you hug its hind legs it can't reach you with its truck, and its too sluggish to get away while you repeatedly pommel it from behind. If you stand to the side of its hind legs then it won't even be able to hit you with a back kick. If it raises its leg to perform a stomp then all you have to do is back off until it finishes its slam, then move back in to continue punching.

How do you even damage an elephant bare handed though? Maybe they're not as fast as a human, but... They literally weigh tons. How do you damage an elephant.
>>4910450
Unless you did damage to the ass of the elephant or the trunk or eyes, I don't see how punching and clawing at a fucking titanic animal could do it harm. I mean, even lions struggle with elephants and hippos, and don't mess with them regularly.
>>
>>4910612
if you got it on the ground maybe you could strangle it with a leg lock
>>
>>4910612
Just beat the shit out of it from behind. They don’t have thick skin like rhinos, you’ll eventually start doing damage
>>
>>4908397

It depends, if a rat is going to try to evade and escape me, I'd say I'd probably lose, only because I think a rat could probably evade me.

To leg lock the average adult elephant, you would need >10 ft legs. Not joking. Circumference is ~245 inches on average. You wouldn't even be able to leg lock a baby elephant's neck.
>>
>>4910680
You assume your fists will hold out. An elephant's skin is tougher than a punching bag. See what happens if you punch a punching bag for 10 hours bare handed.

This question doesn't specify if you can wear armor or protective gears, only that you can't use any weapons.

If he wore gear that protected you from bites, a strong adult human male could probably take a solo wolf. No chance against a lion or grizzly bear though.
>>
>>4907310
At 80kg I could win a fight with a 200kg yearling easily.
Something happens to cattle at about 230kg and they suddenly become strong enough to roll a car, don't fuck with those.
Anyway the point is, size is deceptive

>>4908880
I'm assuming this isn't meant to be taken 100% seriously, but this would only ever (possibly, maybe not) work on a blind elephant. Literally no one is going to run circles around an elephant who can quite easily turn on the spot and use every one of their limbs connected to their several tonne mass. Only takes a split second to ever so slightly change the angle of attack, it's complete fantasy.

After seeing a chimp struggle slightly to lift a ~30ish lb colobus monkey each time it lifted it to slam its body on the ground, I feel like more adult men could beat them than not.

That's Robert Oberst, who has competed in the world's strongest man competition eight times (just to qualify you need to win other stuff). He's 410 lbs and 6'7". He has lifted a 465 lbs log above his head and deadlifted 793 lbs, both in competition. He had trouble controlling an alligator's tail. You have no chance. Also, crocs/alligators don't suddenly lose strength on land. They can and will jump and thrash and destroy you.

Only the Cuban crocs look like they're moving in any decently sustainable manner.
I love them so much, I really want us to get them breeding more.
>>
>>4922246
fair enough. I'd lose to a croc unless it was like 100 feet from the water. btw those lizards in that video don't move fast, and stopped after 6 feet.
>>
>>4907310
One of my friends who hunts says he can kill a wolf, but can't kill a dear, with his bare hands.
>>
>>4922280
A deer's a big animal, but a decently fit man should be able to handle it. If you let it stab you, it might be over.
The issue that a lot of people need to train their mind for to prepare for this situations, is the understanding that you WILL get hurt. The wolf will bite you, the mountain lion will bite you, the deer will try to stab you. How you react to that determines whether you can beat it or not.

Yeah, their claws are pretty dangerous. I don’t think I’d make it out necessarily unscathed, but if it came down to life or death, I think I’d take it out even if I sustained injuries. What’s crazy to me, is that more people are confident that they can take on a chimp than a kangaroo.

Speaking as an australian, their toes really aren't that dangerous (and that's literally all they are, a big toe). The biggest risk you'll face if they try to kick you is if you cop one in the nuts. Their toes may otherwise leave minor grazing if your clothing isn't very thick, and their arms are of course useless against people, so they can't to anything there. They're more intimidating than dangerous.
>>
>>4922550
Nah, they will definitely try to gore you too.
Good thing is, a decently fit man should be able to control them enough to keep the antlers off. Ideal situation would be getting it around the neck, so that your body is behind the antlers and then just choking it out.

An elephant can outrun you
"According to a recent study published in Nature magazine, Asian elephants run at 25 km/h (15 mph). African elephants are much larger and can run at 40 km/h (25 mph)"
https://africafreak.com/how-fast-can-an-elephant-run

And an elephant can kill you like it's nothing. Elephants kill over 500 people every year in India alone -

>Elephants kill over 500 people every year in India alone -

Are elephants like trains to them?
>>
>>4930157
>Are elephants like trains to them?
Probably, judging by how careless they are about everything that else kills them.
However Indians don't really hunt elephants.
And the Indian population is huge.
Elephants don't have great eyesight, so like dogs they might not like dark-skinned people simply because it's harder for them to see if they are angry or a threat. Elephants can only see things clearly from 20 meters away. Their smell and hearing compensate for their poor sight.
>>
>>4908880
https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/deadliest-animals-to-humans

>Groups of elephants have been known to raid farms and villages, and will gore or trample any humans that get in the way. One blow from an elephant is enough to kill, and around 500 deaths a year are caused in this way.
