Social 6% of Americans think they can beat a Grizzly. 8% think they can beat an Elephant or Gorilla

[MicroBrew]

There seem to be a not insignificant number of Americans who are a bit optimistic of their capabilities.
YouGov Poll.


Which of the following animals, if any, do you think you could beat in a fight if you were unarmed?

• RAT - 72%
• HOUSE CAT - 69%
• GOOSE - 71%
• MEDIUM-SIZED DOG - 49%
• EAGLE - 30%
• LARGE DOG - 23%
• 
  
• CHIMPANZEE - 17%
• KING COBRA - 15%
• 
  
• KANGAROO - 14%
• WOLF - 12%
• 
  
• CROCODILE - 9%
• GORILLA - 8%
• ELEPHANT - 8%
• LION - 8%
• GRIZZLY BEAR - 6%

Re. Bolded : the ones I think are nuts. No one is beating a Croc, Elephant, Grizzly, Gorilla and Lion. Unless you are talking about small juveniles.

On the flip side 90% of people should be able to defeat a house cat. Only reason I didn't say 99% is because some people are very weak due to advanced age and medical conditions.

Poll shows which animals Americans think they could beat in a fight

Most Americans think they could easily defeat a goose in a fight, but the odds are much lower when facing an elephant or lion.

These numbers are absurd.

At least as absurd as 8 percent beating an elephant is only 72 percent beating a rat.

A fucking rat? A rat? You can't beat a rat?

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I doubt people respond to polls like this seriously tbh. I don't buy anybody actually thinks they could take on a lion unarmed.

House cats are no joke

 

[bandicoot]

Defeating a grizzly bear is part of the American dream

 

[Cherry Brigand]

Poll is invalid. I'm never unarmed.

This guy's did videos about this a few years ago.

How would you hurt a elephant with no weapons? You are far more likely to hurt yourself more hitting it.

Conor couldn't beat the "rat".

Need to see what strategies people plan to use before I comment further.

Someone might have great calf kicks and really wear down an elephant's ability to move laterally.

No One is gonna survive when a big elephant is pissed off & You are it's target.

Watch ANY video of a 10,000 pound one in a savage-action rampage. Hell, they CRUSH & flip Big Trucks like we'd crush a beer can.

LOL at beating Any Beast unarmed - unless, maybe...the Black Beast.​

Bullshit polls are bullshit. Often completely made up numbers.

1 in 10 think they can beat an elephant or a gorilla.

3 in 10 think they'd lose to a goose.

I'm not sure why you're skeptical. Seems legit to me LOL.

A man should be able to kill any non giant animal with his bare hands. He simply reaches down its throat and rip out its guts through the mouth.

100% of Dagestani's can beat a bear. Khabib GOAT

Steve Irwin was tapping out crocodiles left and right. So I guess maybe that one’s not so crazy

That doesn't make you an invalid, regardless of where you're from.
