This is quite possible the saddest nature video I have aver seen… [/quote]
The interesting but decidedly unsettling thing about these types of clips is how long it takes for the victim to actually die. Obviously animals are placing a much higher priority on the ability to avoid injury rather than simply ending the fight quickly. However, that really affects the way you would expect it to play out in a fight.

How about something I might actually win?
Wolverine or Kamodo Dragon?
Assuming you had to fight and kill one of them. No running away. 1 non-mechanical melee weapon.[/quote]
The bite of the komodo dragon contains so much bacteria that the chance of survival long term is basically zero.
I’d definitely choose the komodo dragon, wolverines are just ridiculous. They have been known to kill moose, which is mind-blowing considering the insane size difference.
Again, my weapon of choice would be the Scottish broadsword, for the same reasons I said earlier.
I read somewhere that on some occasions the bacterial infection from a komodo dragon can kill deer they bite in as little as 3 hours, how close is the hospital? lol. I think with something like a fire axe you’d have a good chance of stopping either in it’s tracks. I’d take the komodo, with the axe, I fancy my chances getting a better hit than on the wolverine.

Wolverine 100%. A Komodo Dragon can kill the shit out of you both quickly and no so quickly. [/quote]
I don’t know much about komodo dragons so just looked them up - they sometimes eat horses! I had no idea they could take on something that size.
I still think a wolverine is at least as dangerous, if not more so.
What would be your “non-mechanical melee weapon” of choice lol?

Komodo dragons just pester the hell out of their prey and follow them around until they give up and die (sometimes for days on end). They just need to bite their prey and then they just stalk them until they get too weak and move in for the skill. Fucking assholes.
