Obviously I am not advocating for these beautiful majestic giant beasts to be killed but if it was a life or death thing... I'd be getting in that blowhole like a big old human tampon.
opossum would be the perfect battle out in the forest.. run up and swing at him a couple of times til he falls over.. declare yourself champ and go party with your hoes.. nobody goes back to check to see if the opossum got back up..
Definitely not a cat. I have cats and he wanted to go ballistic on me when I tried to get him off the window ledge when there was another cat outside. I had to push him off with a broom or risk losing an eye even though his nails are trimmed. He's lovely otherwise, I swear.
I can't believe how strong my 8 lb cat is. It took both me and my wife to hold her when the vet was examining her. It doesn't help that cats are slippery and have noodle bones.
You can take on a house cat. If it comes down to you or then, and we're talking for real, you're going to be able to hurt that cat. You'll get scratched up, but you can kill it.
My 3.4lb rabbit recently decided I am not a threat and started chilling in the middle of my walkway at night. She now takes multiple shoves to make move. So, not a bunny
(This took years of work on trust I am mostly bragging my bunny loves me)
As an Australian who legitimately had to do workplace training on how to deal with aggressive kangaroos (including what happens if you have to defend yourself from one) they arent that scary.
To really go nuts with their legs they have to stop, plant their tail and use it for stability to rear back and kick you and they really dont like being hit in the head and face. So if you keep backing up and moving laterally they arent that dangerous. They are also dumber than sacks of wet shit. In a fight for my life I'd confidently say I could take one, but I doubt Id be in a good state.
I reckon a full grown kangaroo. Not that I think I'm stronger (or that it wouldn't fuck me up), but in a fight to the death I think I could outsmart it and outmaneouver it.
I do not think this is close to a 100% certainty though.
They're more strategic than you might think. They'll flee to water sources and try to lure in their predators. Then, when the predator follows them, they pin them down with their strong back legs.
I wouldn't try to take on an Adolescent big red. That is like trying to take on a really ripped human teenager.
I could take a wallaby though... I'm pretty sure, at least.
Quokka don't stand a chance though. Unless it kills me with cuteness first. Adorable little buggers.
Cat bites can have some dangerous bacteria at least, considering how much damage the more lazy of my cats can do if you try to force him to take a pill, I don't think I'd really want to fight one that actually was fighting for all it's worth
I've thought about this kind of question for a long time. I reckon I can beat up about 85% of the world's population. I am a large man with quite a bit of experience fighting, none in a ring or a cage.
Camels are large, notoriously ill-tempered creatures. I wouldn't, personally, want to get too close to one. My Dad rode a camel in Egypt and did not recommend it.
Most people would struggle to might a medium-sized dog and a horse would be unwise. A camel would be out of pretty much everyone's ability to fight.
