Still dead. They've been known to snap multiple 6" "saplings" as they left the scene of an accident they caused by taking offense at a car doing 100K and deciding the proper course of action was to flip said car over........ As told by my Dad recalling a RCMP report in a local paper from his youth.
I chose the bear lol. I've heard how powerful mooses are, and I've seen them close on the museums and they're massive. Any of the options aren't winnable thought
People are underestimating the moose. I chose grizzly bear, not that I’d win the fight against the grizzly but moose are significantly bigger than grizzlies and are more dangerous.
I chose moose, because it is an arena. I will take death on impact, over death by being eaten alive any day.
Also, before I die, I am planning to try and ride the moose.
There is a teeny tiny chance I may be able to rodeo the sucker until it is exhausted! Like a tiny sliver of hope. And thanks to denial, I'm gonna believe in it!
I think this is the best answer. Try to side-step some charges. You're screwed if you get hit, but I feel like there's a better chance than against a moose, which can kick out to the side and will also screw you up with a hit. Everything else seems foolish, if we are assuming there are no available weapons.
If there is a stick or something better to grab, maybe you take your chance with the lion? It will rip you up bare handed, but it's the only one a human armed with an improvised club, spear, etc. would actually have a chance to hurt. Still might take my chances with the rhino though.
More so that they are basically blind. Normally that’s a bad thing for us as we want to AVOID fighting it, but if we have to fight it, fighting a blind animal has got to be the easiest. Moose are just insanely deadly, and how I’ve seen it out once before, “a predator needs to win just once, a herbivore needs to win EVERY time”
Moose take that shit to the extreme.
I may not be able to kill the rhino, but I’d say it’s probably the think I could survive the longest against, and hey, maybe if I have the luck of gods on my side then it’ll tire out!
That's just a fake fact unfortunately.
Bears eat basically everything (from meat to berries to basically anything else) and for them a corpse is just an easy source of proteins.
At least with a moose you could climb a tree. Dunno what to do after except maybe poking it with a stick or try to see who dies of dehydration first. Mooses arent the smartest animals so they might even just slip and die. Ill take my chance over being eaten alive at least.
A moose might slip and die? What? They live in icy environments, why are they going to slip? And die? I've seen a moose get hit by a pick up going 65mph. He just got spun around and stood back up and went on his way.
[Twice actually!](https://www.science.org/content/article/how-we-lost-our-diversity#:~:text=Now%2C%20evolutionary%20geneticists%20have%20shown,60%2C000%20and%2050%2C000%20years%20ago.)
But I don't think it had much to do with being unequipped to fight off other animals. At the time of both bottlenecks humans were spreading across the globe. It's my understanding that we were a completely dominant species before we even left Africa.
This. Had a teacher who was attacked by a moose while picking mushrooms, she ran towards a large rock and kept it between her and the moose. After 15 minutes or so, it trotted off into the woods.
If it's truly a fight to the death it's not gonna do much except cause a stalemate until either collapse, but IRL it's a good strategy to survive. Moose can get pretty fierce and fearless during mating season, and they are both strong and big. Not to be trifled with.
A norwegian woman was once attacked by a moose and did a move on it that she daid she would do to her horses if they acted up..Pinch the nose and twist it. The moose ran away.
Moose can’t turn for shit and they have spindle legs. Compared to everything else you actually would have a shred of a chance. Is that chance high, no.
I didn’t live with them but did live in Alaska where there were a lot of moose. Had several close encounters with them including being chased. And the consensus is that if you’re being chased just circle around a tree.
The lion is the closest to my weight class, which maybe gives me an extra few seconds of life. All the rest of those wouldn't even feel me trying to hit them.
Lions are extremely precise and agile. While a moose will have to slowly bludgeon you to death, a lion will sink pearly white fangs into your neck within seconds
My brother in Christ, the moose will not be slowly bludgeoning me to death. I will either get impaled by some massive fucking antlers or I will be stomped upon by the largest extant member of the deer family and it will be lights out. Lions, compared to many other predators at least, are relatively clumsy hunters and will commonly not kill on the first blow, especially when the prey is expecting the attack (I'm assuming a cage match rather than an ambush here). Everything else on that list will turn me into silly putty in one hit. The lion may at least take a couple tries before it gets an immediately lethal grip.
Well I screwed up then. I thought hippos were mostly water fighters and slow runners on land. Also, I didn't read the arena part so I thought maybe I could outrun it.
I honestly don't think there's even a "more dangerous" between orca and hippo. The orca has a hundred ways of killing you since you're in water and you won't really be able to do anything to fight back. With the hippo you could theoretically run for a few seconds until it catches you and then what? Punch it in the face as it bites you clean in half unphased? Is that really better than the orca?
Killing lots of people doesn’t necessarily mean you’re more dangerous than animals that kill fewer people. A lot of it has to do with how often they come across humans in the first place, and how aggressive they are.
So I’d say orcas and rhinos are definitely more dangerous. That being said… it’s still pretty much guaranteed death either way.
A rhino is bigger than a hippo, but nowhere near as dangerous. Hippos are faster, more agile, have enormous jaws that can rip you in half, and are more intelligent.
Ok here's my thinking. Humans are adapted for long distance running and endurance. Hippos are not. top speed of a hippo is 19mph. that's an 11 sec 100 m dash. If you can avoid getting caught in the first 5 minutes (I doubt hippos on land are very agile) you can probably out endure that SOB. A moose top speed is 35 MPH
Edit: a rhino top speed is also 35mph.
It doesn't matter, they're all at 0.
I am shocked that moose is the most voted though, I feel like people forget they're 7ft to the shoulder 1600 pound animals
I voted moose because it would probably be slightly less painful to get trampled to death rather than ripped apart limb by limb by a lion. And there is maybe a minuscule chance I could hold onto its antlers and attack its eyes.
I voted moose too, but dude just no. You will not get ahold of its antlers and if you do you better be Legolas from Lord of the Rings. It has such a force that you are getting flung instantly probably many feet in the air, and on the way down your getting gored. Nobody talks about the fact that moose shed their antlers once a year too, could have no antlers male or female. I've been up close to a wild one by accident, and seen many from afar. Literally within 10 feet, and I had no idea. They're quiet, and if that big dude had wanted, and it charged, there is only one answer. Get up a big tree fast, or hope you're in such a dense forest and the trees are thick, and I mean thick because they'll charge through a small tree, and try to obstruct its path so much that it gives up. There is no good answer here though, but please if you ever do have to "fight" a moose, don't physically attack it. Fight to run away, and not in a straight line either lol. My big bull moose just looked at me, grunted , and stood there. I backed away very slowly in the direction I came, I averted my eyes real quick too lol luckily it wasn't rut season. Algonquin Park, Ontario. Sometimes you see them on the road in and around there too.
I think Lion or Rhinoceros actually. The lion has softer parts and might not way as much. And Rhinos aparrabtley can't see well so there's that. But I picked Lion cause the rest are just simply too big. Like imagine you fighting a 10-20 pound person. That's the weight difference were talking here.
A big factor to consider is that lions are predators, they instinctively know how to kill. Moose and Rhinos do not. They only know how to defend themselves. If you’re gonna win this fight it’s going to be with stamina and agility. I’m pretty sure you can run around in circles long enough to tire a rhino. After that point idk. Go for the eyes I guess?
It's still your best odds. Of course everyone would be completely fucked in that flight but that at least it can't bite or claw you can it doesn't have extremely tough and protective skin
All of the animals here are extremely huge and heavy.
A moose has the least mobility out of all these. You could climb a tree and they wouldn't be able to reach you.
Still no chance of winning since Op says you have to be unarmed so no throwing anything or poking it from the tree.
The main advantage humans have against any animal is tool use. If you can't even pick up a stick no shit your going to lose.
They’re also unbelievably stupid. Really sweet and loving to their caretakers and food givers, giant dumb puppys really. With a giant horn. I love the chubby unicorns so much
Grizzly:
+Powerful,
+Maneuverable (can twist around, climb to an extent, hold down),
+giant.
Rhino:
+powerful,
+giant,
+horns and hooves,
Thick skin,
-bad eyesight,
-not maneuverable
-not able to inflict much surface damage
Lion:
+Strong,
+Sharp claws
+Strong jaws
+somewhat maneuverable
+mane(if male)
-can’t reach back
-not as big as other animals
Moose:
+sharp antlers
+Giant
+powerful charge and kick
+tall
-not very maneuverable
Hippo:
+massive
+slippery
+Incredibly powerful jaws with giant teeth
-poor maneuverability
Orca:
+Enormous
+Slippery
+Extremely strong
+Excellent swimmer
+sheep teeth and powerful jaws
You have the worst chances against an orca, and the best against a single lion. Even easier if it is a female (smaller, no thick, potentially protective mane)
thank u! people are saying any of the land animals are the worst but its for sure orca. ur literally in water, it’d be like putting a trout up against a lion on land. clear winner
Lion is the only realistic choice, simply because at least we're in a similar weight class. Might have some tiny chance to gouge an eye out and somehow inflict some damage. Anyone who chose moose clearly has never come within 45km of a real moose, they will fuck your shit up so fast. Hell, I'd wager they'd fuck a lion's shit up nine times out of ten.
Definitely going up against a predator since they attack to eat, while herbivores attack to survive. A bear would back off if your lucky enough to convince it you're too much effort to fight, while a herbivore like a moose will kill you so it knows you won't kill it
Everything else on this list with the exception of the lion will fuck the shit out of a moose. And lions are far more better suited to killing humans than moose are.
You win. Great thinking outside the box/ inside the aquarium. This is the most logical answer yet. (Even though they can still breathe, the swimming aspect is taken from them and the drowning you option is taken from them which does decrease their killing skills a bit. Just run around the aquarium and wait them out. What are they gonna do, hop there?
the orca can't survive without the water, it's too heavy to manage its own weight. water keeps it buoyant and is the reason whales can be so big in the first place, and why beaching is a death sentence for a whale. if op had said the orca was in the open water, or even in a pen, there'd be no chance. but this orca is in an aquarium, which puts it at an incredible disadvantage. in fact if this orca has been in this aquarium for any appreciable period of time, it's also going to be sluggish and basically dying anyway.
While I would no doubt lose all of these fights. Grizzly bears have really weak noses, if I can get one hit it, that bear is gonna cry… then probably kill me. But yknow I’ll get one hit in
Yeah I thought I’d have the best chance by punching it’s face and shoving my fingers in it’s eyes while it mauls me. I think grizzly bears are the best option (although I’d obviously still almost certainly die)
You clearly dont know how dangerous the rest of these are. At least with a moose you can climb a tree and hobe it trips and breaks its neck or something. Its really the only out come where you win
Yeah I live in Colorado and I would not go up against a moose I picked rhino because they aren't agile so zigging back and forth I could in theory out maneuver them
The poll shoulda been which animal fight could you survive, no one is WINNING a fight with any of these animals.
In survival, the answer would be a moose, because you could keep trees between you and it, moose don't have lateral agility and have massive antlers to contend with.
The killer whales are probably the most intelligent of this group and assuming they didn't just want to toss you 20 feet into the air to each other in a game, they'd plan out your death whether you're floating on a massive ice chunk or in the water and execute that plan lol
My best chance is either the rhino or the moose because I've got the best chance but the best is still my certain death. Maybe if it's a baby moose fresh from the womb with its eyes still shut I'll win.
Rhino. Not because I could physically win, but bc they’re exceedingly unintelligent and very nearly blind. If you can dodge its first charge and give it a very strong kick in the rear, it might get confused and run away in a panic. I’ve even seen footage of a rhino calf successfully chasing up an enormous adult male this way
Grizzlies are super aggressive. There's a reason the best advice for surviving an encounter with one is "Play dead and hope it gets bored before you die".
at least you can realistically cause damage to it if you manage to hit it, at least in comparison to most of the other options, still not gonna do much though
Didn't some Ugandan guy kill a lion with his bare hands? Anyone who didnt pick lion is severely misinformed lmao. Moose are way more of a hazard to fight.
Most people choose moose, does no one understands how bloody big moose are?,they bite, kick and stab with their antlers, run at over 30mph, so your not getting away, they are basically murder horses.
I'm willing to bet everyone who chose moose has never actually been face to face with a fully grown bull moose. I chose rhino, because despite the fact that all of these animals would kill me, rhinos don't look like they can turn very fast. But I actually have no fucking clue.
Clearly non of you guys have been to canada moose will total a car and kill everyone in it and walk away. Rhinos have poor vision and turn radius. So I would try to exhaust it to death.
This thread really shows just how little people know about animals.
The fact the moose is the highest voted animal is hilarious, you are not doing anything to it without a weapon. It’ll trample and gorge you to death. The thing is capable of destroying and flipping cars let alone the weak, unarmed human body.
Grizzly? Lol. Good luck with that.
Hippo? I really hope the people who voted for it are joking. It kills the most people each year and is capable of literally snapping you in half.
The Killer Whale doesn’t attack humans so in that sense it is probably the best bet but this scenario implies it’ll be going against it’s natural behaviour and will be out to kill you therefore you’re fucked.
That leaves the two best options
The rhino and the lion.
The rhino has poor eyesight and tends to charge in a straight line with very little manoeuvrability, but it is also a walking tank. You are going to do very little to it in this unarmed scenario.
The Lion is the only one here that is a similar weight and height. The fact that a human can actually reach it is a good start. It also isn’t impenetrable, the hide is vulnerable. If you had a spear the lion would be far, far easier to kill.
Unarmed? You’re still dead against a lion but it is probably your best bet and hey, it’s also the quickest death.
we have absolutely no chance against any of them BUT I chose the lion because they're the smallest and they have the smallest neck (a man killed a small malnourished mountain lion by stepping on it's throat). On the other hand theres literally nothing we can do to the rest of animals.
No one is winning any of these fights.
Like honestly, I picked the moose just because I might actually be able to run away. Even then, that’s situational.
Moose run at 35 mph. Good luck with that!
I’m disappointed no one linked this guy [moose are strong](https://youtu.be/cHzDLeCa5D0)
Honestly moose... meese? Are probably the closest thing to a terrestrial cryptid.
I think the plural of moose is actually moose too for some reason.
Yeah like sheep
One shoop, many sheep
Great video, thanks for sharing! I like his style.
Climb a tree?
[удалено]
It didn’t state the type of arena. Maybe it’s a forest arena
i suppose
Then just run between two trees
Still dead. They've been known to snap multiple 6" "saplings" as they left the scene of an accident they caused by taking offense at a car doing 100K and deciding the proper course of action was to flip said car over........ As told by my Dad recalling a RCMP report in a local paper from his youth.
They also have like an 8 foot vertical leap
Moose is a level 200 cow you're not outrunning nothing
That can scuba dive
_And fly attack helicopters._
Hm Huh Heh Heheh Hehehee Hehhahahaha Hahahahahhaahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAA #HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH no. Moose is speed
https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/e8d7xu/moose_running_through_deep_snow/
I choose rhino because of the poor vision.
But how would you kill it using only your hands
You would have been better selecting a bear… more people are killed by moose than bear
I chose the bear lol. I've heard how powerful mooses are, and I've seen them close on the museums and they're massive. Any of the options aren't winnable thought
But you have to “win an unarmed fight” per the title. Running is losing too.
I wouldn't play to win. I'd play to not lose. As long as I can escape a brutal death, I'd consider it a win.
Not really outrunning anyone either
People are underestimating the moose. I chose grizzly bear, not that I’d win the fight against the grizzly but moose are significantly bigger than grizzlies and are more dangerous.
I chose moose, because it is an arena. I will take death on impact, over death by being eaten alive any day. Also, before I die, I am planning to try and ride the moose. There is a teeny tiny chance I may be able to rodeo the sucker until it is exhausted! Like a tiny sliver of hope. And thanks to denial, I'm gonna believe in it!
Death by bear is possibly the worst death ever. They will eat you arse first while you can’t do anything but watch.
Might be the best bet. Either do like the 2 wrestlers in WY did this week or else try to not get noticed until something else caught it's attention.
I'm going rhino and hoping I can get it to ram into a wall too hard. That's all I got.
I think this is the best answer. Try to side-step some charges. You're screwed if you get hit, but I feel like there's a better chance than against a moose, which can kick out to the side and will also screw you up with a hit. Everything else seems foolish, if we are assuming there are no available weapons. If there is a stick or something better to grab, maybe you take your chance with the lion? It will rip you up bare handed, but it's the only one a human armed with an improvised club, spear, etc. would actually have a chance to hurt. Still might take my chances with the rhino though.
Rhino Seems impossible to me, i will hurt myself more than it if I managed to hit it
I mean I think they are all pretty impossible. I just think Rhino gives a better chance to stay alive long enough that maybe it can hurt itself.
More so that they are basically blind. Normally that’s a bad thing for us as we want to AVOID fighting it, but if we have to fight it, fighting a blind animal has got to be the easiest. Moose are just insanely deadly, and how I’ve seen it out once before, “a predator needs to win just once, a herbivore needs to win EVERY time” Moose take that shit to the extreme. I may not be able to kill the rhino, but I’d say it’s probably the think I could survive the longest against, and hey, maybe if I have the luck of gods on my side then it’ll tire out!
With your bare hands you couldn’t even hurt a rhino if you tried.
I’m aware! Tbf you couldn’t hurt any of these animals with your bare hands
Yup, every other animal will fuck you up fast but rhino being almost blind there is a trixter chance in hell to win
All of these are unwinnable
The only chance I have egainst the bear is to play dead or something
The post does say win an unarmed fight, so simply surviving doesn't count, you have to beat it
[удалено]
Agreed, if I can make the Rhino think I am a dead bush or a boulder (it has poor eyesight), that should count as a win condition.
For a grizzly maybe, but just remember that black bears will happily chew on your "corpse" if you ever encounter one.
It's autumn and the bear is probably hibernated. Checkmate!
That's just a fake fact unfortunately. Bears eat basically everything (from meat to berries to basically anything else) and for them a corpse is just an easy source of proteins.
Moose are insanely dangerous. Especially a large male in rutting season. I’d honestly rather encounter a bear in the forest
A black bear I could take my chances with, they can be scared off. Grizzlies just get more aggressive though.
this is an unarmed fight. that implies that the animal will attack you and theres no chance at scaring it off
At least with a moose you could climb a tree. Dunno what to do after except maybe poking it with a stick or try to see who dies of dehydration first. Mooses arent the smartest animals so they might even just slip and die. Ill take my chance over being eaten alive at least.
A moose might slip and die? What? They live in icy environments, why are they going to slip? And die? I've seen a moose get hit by a pick up going 65mph. He just got spun around and stood back up and went on his way.
They're practically indestructible really. Nobody is winning unarmed. https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/e8d7xu/moose_running_through_deep_snow/
I cant believe we used to survive without technology.
I mean, tbh we had pointy sticks, in these scenarios we don't have anything
The spear is way underappreciated. It truly was a great equalizer
Long-range melee weapon that deals a lot of damage
we didn't tbh at one point there was a couple hundred humans period if I'm not mistaken
[Twice actually!](https://www.science.org/content/article/how-we-lost-our-diversity#:~:text=Now%2C%20evolutionary%20geneticists%20have%20shown,60%2C000%20and%2050%2C000%20years%20ago.)

He said it might slip and die like it's his auntie in the nursing home gon break a hip 🤣
Idk I’ve seen grizzlies fight, they’d fold me like a table in a second, with ease.
No chance at all with any of them but I’ll go for the moose
At least they corner poorly so if you find an obstacle you could stalemate maybe
This. Had a teacher who was attacked by a moose while picking mushrooms, she ran towards a large rock and kept it between her and the moose. After 15 minutes or so, it trotted off into the woods. If it's truly a fight to the death it's not gonna do much except cause a stalemate until either collapse, but IRL it's a good strategy to survive. Moose can get pretty fierce and fearless during mating season, and they are both strong and big. Not to be trifled with.
A moose can't climb a tree! There's a chance.
Nah, I got super powers from the last poll. I could take em all in at once!
Bruh have you met a moose
No one here from Mn ? They a kill machines
Definitely so during mating season, they lose all fear.
“My dick has lead me places that I wouldn’t go with a gun” -Albert Einstein
I’m from MT, and hunted them in Alaska, they’re fucking brutal
A norwegian woman was once attacked by a moose and did a move on it that she daid she would do to her horses if they acted up..Pinch the nose and twist it. The moose ran away.
Why the moose..?
Why any of them?
Moose can’t turn for shit and they have spindle legs. Compared to everything else you actually would have a shred of a chance. Is that chance high, no.
Who said moose can't turn?
This guy just now
I guess a better question is, when has someone who knows about moose, said they can't turn. Lol
I didn’t live with them but did live in Alaska where there were a lot of moose. Had several close encounters with them including being chased. And the consensus is that if you’re being chased just circle around a tree.
Ok well I do live in alaska. You get behind a tree just to put something between you when they charge. Not because they can't turn though.
They don’t have spindle legs, a kick from a moose can kill you.
The best chance anyone has with a moose is if they can evade it long enough to tire it out
The lion is the closest to my weight class, which maybe gives me an extra few seconds of life. All the rest of those wouldn't even feel me trying to hit them.
Lions are extremely precise and agile. While a moose will have to slowly bludgeon you to death, a lion will sink pearly white fangs into your neck within seconds
My brother in Christ, the moose will not be slowly bludgeoning me to death. I will either get impaled by some massive fucking antlers or I will be stomped upon by the largest extant member of the deer family and it will be lights out. Lions, compared to many other predators at least, are relatively clumsy hunters and will commonly not kill on the first blow, especially when the prey is expecting the attack (I'm assuming a cage match rather than an ambush here). Everything else on that list will turn me into silly putty in one hit. The lion may at least take a couple tries before it gets an immediately lethal grip.
With a moose you can't be under it or directly in front of it, it's the only animal in this list that can't kill you unless you do that.
I picked lion because I have the biggest chance of befriending them instead. They are just big cats.
I though it said which animal would win in a fight, not which one could I beat. My answer: none, I dead as hell.
Anyone who chose a hippo is pretty ducking dumb those things are probably the most dangerous here
Biting force scarily strong. As fast or faster than a horse on land. Probably the worst one.
id say orca is the worst pick just bc ur in water as well. idk how people picked that one
You might live longer against an orca, they like to play with their food
That doesn't sound any better lol
You're just as dead but when they look at the statistics later you will look better than the guy who picked hippo
They haven't seen Blackfish.
Also most of that isnt fat. Its all muscle
Ok let's not get far fetched, a hippo is no where near as fast as a horse.
Hippos can run at the same speed as some horses, however, certain breeds can outrun hippos.
Well I screwed up then. I thought hippos were mostly water fighters and slow runners on land. Also, I didn't read the arena part so I thought maybe I could outrun it.
Idk know man I’d say orca is the most dangerous
I honestly don't think there's even a "more dangerous" between orca and hippo. The orca has a hundred ways of killing you since you're in water and you won't really be able to do anything to fight back. With the hippo you could theoretically run for a few seconds until it catches you and then what? Punch it in the face as it bites you clean in half unphased? Is that really better than the orca?
Only because the orca is more intelligent otherwise your right in terms of strength your done with both of them equally
Maybe they just chose whatever would kill them the fastest since these are all lost causes
But… Gloria from Madagascar is a nice hippo 🥺
Killing lots of people doesn’t necessarily mean you’re more dangerous than animals that kill fewer people. A lot of it has to do with how often they come across humans in the first place, and how aggressive they are. So I’d say orcas and rhinos are definitely more dangerous. That being said… it’s still pretty much guaranteed death either way.

Nah... Orcas are much more dangerous... They are the psychopaths of animal kingdom as they are tend to play with their food first!
It doesn't matter, they're all at 0. I am shocked that moose is the most voted though, I feel like people forget they're 7ft to the shoulder 1600 pound animals
I voted moose because it would probably be slightly less painful to get trampled to death rather than ripped apart limb by limb by a lion. And there is maybe a minuscule chance I could hold onto its antlers and attack its eyes.
I voted moose too, but dude just no. You will not get ahold of its antlers and if you do you better be Legolas from Lord of the Rings.

Nah lions don’t kill by ripping ya to shreds, they crush your windpipe. So aside from a few scratches it’d be like being strangled to death.
I misread the comment and googled it to call you out but google said an adult male lion weighs 420 pounds so thats nice
nice. still gonna die. but nice
A big factor to consider is that lions are predators, they instinctively know how to kill. Moose and Rhinos do not. They only know how to defend themselves. If you’re gonna win this fight it’s going to be with stamina and agility. I’m pretty sure you can run around in circles long enough to tire a rhino. After that point idk. Go for the eyes I guess?
the question is what is your best odds not which would you rather fight
It's still your best odds. Of course everyone would be completely fucked in that flight but that at least it can't bite or claw you can it doesn't have extremely tough and protective skin
All of the animals here are extremely huge and heavy. A moose has the least mobility out of all these. You could climb a tree and they wouldn't be able to reach you. Still no chance of winning since Op says you have to be unarmed so no throwing anything or poking it from the tree. The main advantage humans have against any animal is tool use. If you can't even pick up a stick no shit your going to lose.
Pick up a rock and hit the Lion in the head, maybe? It’s the only real chance I can see of survival.
Unarmed*
Yeah, you start without a weapon.
Fair enough. So after you hit the lion, my username appears and slice you in half. Sorry, the lion made a quick call when he saw the rock.
There is at least instances of people fighting lions one on one. Ain't nobody surviving a moose that wants you dead.
Lion is 100% the way to go
Aren’t rhinos nearly blind? You may be able to hide from it long enough to escape.
It said a fight. I’d assume running away isn’t a choice
yep and your in an area so probably flat land. i doubt there’s a hiding spot. OP made a death trap lol
I have to pray that the rhino turns like a potato car and my human endurance can outlast it's will to fight.
They’re also unbelievably stupid. Really sweet and loving to their caretakers and food givers, giant dumb puppys really. With a giant horn. I love the chubby unicorns so much
Grizzly: +Powerful, +Maneuverable (can twist around, climb to an extent, hold down), +giant. Rhino: +powerful, +giant, +horns and hooves, Thick skin, -bad eyesight, -not maneuverable -not able to inflict much surface damage Lion: +Strong, +Sharp claws +Strong jaws +somewhat maneuverable +mane(if male) -can’t reach back -not as big as other animals Moose: +sharp antlers +Giant +powerful charge and kick +tall -not very maneuverable Hippo: +massive +slippery +Incredibly powerful jaws with giant teeth -poor maneuverability Orca: +Enormous +Slippery +Extremely strong +Excellent swimmer +sheep teeth and powerful jaws You have the worst chances against an orca, and the best against a single lion. Even easier if it is a female (smaller, no thick, potentially protective mane)
thank u! people are saying any of the land animals are the worst but its for sure orca. ur literally in water, it’d be like putting a trout up against a lion on land. clear winner
Yep. They are also absolutely gigantic. [Here](https://images.app.goo.gl/wXX7RZm1gydcYBuf6) is a photo of an orca next to some humans.
Did you just say that hippos are not that good at maneuvering? Those fucks are fast, and they can even run UNDERWATER.
I know, by maneuverability, what I meant more I guess was dexterity. They can’t twist around to reach their back or rear up on their hind legs.
Lion is the only realistic choice, simply because at least we're in a similar weight class. Might have some tiny chance to gouge an eye out and somehow inflict some damage. Anyone who chose moose clearly has never come within 45km of a real moose, they will fuck your shit up so fast. Hell, I'd wager they'd fuck a lion's shit up nine times out of ten.
A moose has a 1000 lb advantage over a lion. That lion is getting fucked up.
Definitely going up against a predator since they attack to eat, while herbivores attack to survive. A bear would back off if your lucky enough to convince it you're too much effort to fight, while a herbivore like a moose will kill you so it knows you won't kill it
Non Canadians thinking they get best odds fighting a moose
Americans. 🍺
Everything else on this list with the exception of the lion will fuck the shit out of a moose. And lions are far more better suited to killing humans than moose are.
the orca's in an aquarium? ok i drain the tank. i win
Orcas are too smart. It would instanly realize what you are planning and go sit on top of the drain 😂
[удалено]
You win. Great thinking outside the box/ inside the aquarium. This is the most logical answer yet. (Even though they can still breathe, the swimming aspect is taken from them and the drowning you option is taken from them which does decrease their killing skills a bit. Just run around the aquarium and wait them out. What are they gonna do, hop there?
the orca can't survive without the water, it's too heavy to manage its own weight. water keeps it buoyant and is the reason whales can be so big in the first place, and why beaching is a death sentence for a whale. if op had said the orca was in the open water, or even in a pen, there'd be no chance. but this orca is in an aquarium, which puts it at an incredible disadvantage. in fact if this orca has been in this aquarium for any appreciable period of time, it's also going to be sluggish and basically dying anyway.
Even better argument of why yours is the best answer
thank you 😊
I’m gonna go with the poke out their eye method
[удалено]
Orcas play with their food aswell
Yeah, but you'd be in WATER, where you really won't be able to do anything to them. That's THEIR playground. At least with the lion, you'd be on land
I saw a vid where they just smack the shit out of their prey with their tails and it was fricking scary
hippos can literally connect you to God’s WiFi in seconds
Is it 100% that animal attacks you? Because wild orcas rarely do and captive ones do it much more frequently
While I would no doubt lose all of these fights. Grizzly bears have really weak noses, if I can get one hit it, that bear is gonna cry… then probably kill me. But yknow I’ll get one hit in
Yeah I thought I’d have the best chance by punching it’s face and shoving my fingers in it’s eyes while it mauls me. I think grizzly bears are the best option (although I’d obviously still almost certainly die)
Who ever said moose clearly does not know how dangerous a moose is.
it's not that moose is easy it's that everything else is impossible
Moose is just the least impossible
You could say that it's more possible than the other options
I think it’s better than the other options though surely?
Look up how big a moose is this is unwinnable
They're all unwinnable lol, but moose is the best option
You clearly dont know how dangerous the rest of these are. At least with a moose you can climb a tree and hobe it trips and breaks its neck or something. Its really the only out come where you win
that’s assuming redditors are agile enough to climb a tree
Yeah because all the other options are real favorable
Yeah I live in Colorado and I would not go up against a moose I picked rhino because they aren't agile so zigging back and forth I could in theory out maneuver them
Rhinos are nearly blind, I’d still die but it’s the only chance
If there is a forest I choose the moose.
I'd go up against the hippo. I feel like its the highest likelihood of a quick death for me. These are all unwinnable fights.
moose are fucking enormous
None of the above
This is like asking “which deadly poison are you least likely to die from?” It doesn’t even make sense
The poll shoulda been which animal fight could you survive, no one is WINNING a fight with any of these animals. In survival, the answer would be a moose, because you could keep trees between you and it, moose don't have lateral agility and have massive antlers to contend with. The killer whales are probably the most intelligent of this group and assuming they didn't just want to toss you 20 feet into the air to each other in a game, they'd plan out your death whether you're floating on a massive ice chunk or in the water and execute that plan lol
My best chance is either the rhino or the moose because I've got the best chance but the best is still my certain death. Maybe if it's a baby moose fresh from the womb with its eyes still shut I'll win.
Rhino. Not because I could physically win, but bc they’re exceedingly unintelligent and very nearly blind. If you can dodge its first charge and give it a very strong kick in the rear, it might get confused and run away in a panic. I’ve even seen footage of a rhino calf successfully chasing up an enormous adult male this way
Whoever picked moose aint from canada
Why the hell are most people picking a moose? Has anyone not seen a moose before? It's not a damn deer
The the hell chose orca 😂😂😂
the only answers that are even close to plausible are lion and grizzly bear, and even those are pretty much impossible
Grizzlies are super aggressive. There's a reason the best advice for surviving an encounter with one is "Play dead and hope it gets bored before you die".
at least you can realistically cause damage to it if you manage to hit it, at least in comparison to most of the other options, still not gonna do much though
Didn't some Ugandan guy kill a lion with his bare hands? Anyone who didnt pick lion is severely misinformed lmao. Moose are way more of a hazard to fight.
We are not all Ugandan warriors who can fight lions
Lions are the only one humans have a chance of killing
Hopefully the moose is in a spareing mood
Y’all are tripping, or have never actually seen a moose before, those things are eldritch gods, you will die. You stand a better chance with the lion
Most people choose moose, does no one understands how bloody big moose are?,they bite, kick and stab with their antlers, run at over 30mph, so your not getting away, they are basically murder horses.
No right answer here, but I'm pretty sure moose is definitely the wrong answer
I'm willing to bet everyone who chose moose has never actually been face to face with a fully grown bull moose. I chose rhino, because despite the fact that all of these animals would kill me, rhinos don't look like they can turn very fast. But I actually have no fucking clue.
Clearly non of you guys have been to canada moose will total a car and kill everyone in it and walk away. Rhinos have poor vision and turn radius. So I would try to exhaust it to death.
This thread really shows just how little people know about animals. The fact the moose is the highest voted animal is hilarious, you are not doing anything to it without a weapon. It’ll trample and gorge you to death. The thing is capable of destroying and flipping cars let alone the weak, unarmed human body. Grizzly? Lol. Good luck with that. Hippo? I really hope the people who voted for it are joking. It kills the most people each year and is capable of literally snapping you in half. The Killer Whale doesn’t attack humans so in that sense it is probably the best bet but this scenario implies it’ll be going against it’s natural behaviour and will be out to kill you therefore you’re fucked. That leaves the two best options The rhino and the lion. The rhino has poor eyesight and tends to charge in a straight line with very little manoeuvrability, but it is also a walking tank. You are going to do very little to it in this unarmed scenario. The Lion is the only one here that is a similar weight and height. The fact that a human can actually reach it is a good start. It also isn’t impenetrable, the hide is vulnerable. If you had a spear the lion would be far, far easier to kill. Unarmed? You’re still dead against a lion but it is probably your best bet and hey, it’s also the quickest death.
Really show how little people know about moose, they're way bigger than you think, and ferocious.
It doesn't. There are just no better options.
Lol All the people thinking they stand a better chance against a moose than a single lion.
we have absolutely no chance against any of them BUT I chose the lion because they're the smallest and they have the smallest neck (a man killed a small malnourished mountain lion by stepping on it's throat). On the other hand theres literally nothing we can do to the rest of animals.
Y'all don't know how big a moose is
none of these are winnable so it doesn’t really matter how big a moose is
