They had to bribe the fucker to get it back. Shows how accurate the original Planet of the Apes was lol. The orangutans were politicians and bureaucrats.

During tough times you need to chuckle. Revisiting funny clips from the past. This one is hilarious.
This one is both funny and true.

The fact that you can pick out Vince Gironda and not Bill Gates says a lot about the things you are interested in.

You are so right, Silyak! Your response actually made me chuckle! Thanks!
(I do feel like an idiot not recognizing Bill Gates, but the picture of him in my mind is a younger version - from when I used to build my own computers back in the 90ties. He has gotten grayer and bigger for some reason, probably due to age and estrogen).

Firstly, best survey ever.
Now that is out of the way, we can see that the UK takes the threat of Geese far more seriously than the US.
Surprised so many people donāt fancy their chances against a rat lol

As usual, us Americans over estimate our abilities.
Now Canadians - could probably take most on this list
17% think they can best a chimpanzee? Those things are vicious.

Canadians, like Aussies, are well aware of how terrifying wildlife is.
Geese will fuck you up without a second thought. We know to steer clear of those bastards.
And bears? Who the fuck is thinking they could take on a grizzly bear unarmed? Have you seen one? They will ruin your day. Go read the accounts of bears from early settlers to North America.
No thank you, sir.

To be honest, I am generally more scared of Moose than bears, but I have read enough first hand accounts of hunters emptying large caliber rounds into bears who keep charging.
This survey does show how out of touch with nature the majority of people are.

Constantly harass it and outrun it into exhaustion/into an obstacle/off a cliff. I could do it easily. Hold my beer.

Iād say a fit and agile adult male has a decent shot against most of those animals. An assumption would be that once it is dead, you can receive medical attention. With that assumption, I would say that everything at large dog and above is just a matter of being willing to endure bites and scratches while you get a good grip and beat or grapple it to death with superior body size.
King Cobra shouldnāt be difficult. You can almost certainly break it before the venom kills you and then there is anti-venom. And that is assuming you arenāt able to distract it and get it by the tail, which is certainly something that is done by people with training.
Kangaroos, wolves, and chimpanzees are all in the range of human sized and noted for their ferocity and barbarity. These would all be ugly fights, but I think that a peak condition human fighter has a shot so long as he is emotionally prepared to stay in the fight and be as barbaric as his foe.
Crocodile simply depends on setting. A trained human has a good shot on land. Get behind it and hold its mouth shut. In water, the best result anyone could hope for would be to escape. I have no idea how anyone could actually kill a crocodile in water.
Gorilla, Lion, Elephant, and Grizzly bear are the only ones where I donāt think any living human has much of a chance assuming we are talking about a fully grown male animal. These are all massive animals without notable weak points to attack and absolutely have sharp parts that will mess you up. No idea what those people were thinking.
Of note, the question is if the person being questioned could beat the animal in question. If you look at this as the percentage of adults that could beat the listed animal, itās probably in the neighborhood for many of the animals. Itās an issue of both physical strength and skill as well as emotional fortitude and determination.

It depends on the rat. There were these monstrous river rats in this one really nasty part of the rust belt that my dad used to hang out in.
We actually watched one tear a pit bull to pieces. Not like a happy dopey pit bull either, but a seasoned, winning fighter.
