December 16, 20241 yr This is the horrifying moment a crazed bull elephant attacked tourists on safari in Zambia, leaving an American woman dead, after chasing a safari truck for more than half a mile through a national park. Six tourists were on a game drive in the Kafue National Park when the angry fully-grown male ran flat out to catch up with the vehicle - before the driver abruptly stopped. Video shows how a tourist says 'oh my goodness' as the elephant keeps pace with the car, as another says 'oh oh' and a third adds 'it's coming fast' in the last desperate moments before collision. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13267645/Horrifying-moment-American-tourist-dies-five-ton-bull-elephant-chases-safari-truck-half-mile-charges-straight-driver-suddenly-stops.html The driver must've missed the training day when they taught "Don't Stop If Chased By Really, Really, Large Wild Animal"According to the googs a bull elephant can only run 25 mph and can only do a full sprint for about 50 yards. I think the driver was trying to give them something to talk about back at the camp and not really trying to outrun it.

January 21Jan 21 Author The snake definitely dies first. Some little highly poisonous asshole is probably a bigger threat to the others than that bulky constrictor. Edited January 21Jan 21 by Prepuce of Doom
January 21Jan 21 Gorilla wins. He either hides somewhere or climbs a stalactite and stays out of the way. Grizzly and lion kill the snake first and then maul each other. Silverback then submits the grizzly via darce choke
January 23Jan 23 Cage match I'd say bear on size alone. Maybe the gorilla could out smart him in an environmental setting. I would imagine any large animal could simply trample the anaconda. 1 Bear 2 Gorilla 3 Lion 4 Anaconda
January 23Jan 23 These discussions always focus on brute strength but I think there are factors like reaction time that we have no idea how to gauge. Cats are basically impervious to snakes because the reaction times are so different. who knows how these animals line up in details like that.

January 23Jan 23 There was a show a while back on one of discovery or animal planet that computer simulated these showdowns. I only remember a gorilla vs jaguar or leopard. Gorilla took the W.
January 23Jan 23 The bear is going to make mincemeat of the gorilla. The gorilla’s thumbs and smarts are not helpful, gorillas are not trained martial artists and they are going to react by trying to use brute strength. Bears are not vulnerable in the way humans are and have skulls and bones designed to weather kicks from full grown moose (which they prey on). A large brown bear is the world’s biggest terrestrial predator in a dead heat with polar bears. If you don’t have the size of a rhino, elephant, or hippo you’re going down. This is a physics problem, basically.

January 23Jan 23 Also baboons and leopards have had century long feuds across the great Savannah. Baboons haven’t lost every battle

Baboons haven’t lost every battle Yeah but baboons and leopards are more or less the same weight class. That bear is going to be 2x to 3x the weight of the lion or gorilla.

That doesn’t work, because the snake will just slither away and live to fight another day. The other critters will also stick various limbs in and out of the slats. It’s gotta be a solid glass cage. In that case, the mini-cage, as illustrated above, works perfectly for the snek. He only has to keep hisself out of the other critters’ mouths and strangle each of them one by one. You have aggravated my claustrophobia.

February 5Feb 5 Seems like it comes up enough and there are enough people interested, that the cage match could be arranged. Worldwide PPV would make a mint. PETA might feign outrage, but they would raise a shit ton of money as well.
