Most badass animals

[KingBeasley08]

What are some of the most alpha animals on this planet?

https://thejudge13.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/snarky_hippo.jpg

Hippos are alpha as fck. Kill more people in Africa than all other animals by far. Fast as fck and can take on an entire pride of lions

The true King of the Jungle. A full grown elephant is unbeatable unless humans get involved

Easily the most badass of all the big cats. Best looking animal by far and hunts and fights alone

King of the Ocean. Apex Predator. Alpha

[RRR3]

Tigers for sure. Alpha as **** and the real King of Cats


Wolves as well. Alpha Wolves are bosses :pimp:

almost all animals that inhabit Australia

[Lakers Fan]

The honey badger gets all the rep but it's north American cousin, the wolverine, is much tougher and fearsome. It fights off grizzlies and wolves all the time and is rarely on the menu like the honey badger in Africa. Plus the little wolverine is said to have been witnessed killing a polar bear, the largest land predator.

The silverback Gorilla.

Strongest animal in the game

Can lift 4 tonnes overhead

Strongest bite force in the game

Has thumbs for damaging eye gouging/mobility

Pretty much has 4 arms

Great lateral mobility, quickness

Very low center of gravity, hard to knock off balance

Can grow up to 500 pounds, some report 600 pounds

Usually 5 foot 9. Can grow up to 6 foot 1.

Typically have 7 feet wingspan. This can go up even more so for larger gorillas.

Tough, leathery skin/extremely thick skin/extremely thick joints

Known to rip down whole trees with one arm

Has the monkey intelligence. Smartest in the game.

Can use objects and surroundings to CRUSH opponent

Tiger goes in for a neck bite? Gorilla uses its superhuman strength to pry apart the Tiger's jaw, or use thumbs to eye gouge, and potentially use their bite to kill (Gorillas have stronger bite force) Cats might be faster, but Gorillas are quicker laterally and have a vastly superior grappling game/ground game which it always end up as. Cats have poverty arm length, and gorillas have HUGE wingspans to DOMINATE from any position on the floor

Beats lion, tiger, and bear in a fight. Beats a grizzlie in a tough fight. Polar bear fight is a toss up.

For all intents and purposes, I am a Gorilla stan. Hands down the best fighter in the animal kingdom. Pound for pound too. If there were weight classes, holy shit. Gorilla would be so far ahead in a weight class it wouldn't be funny.

Gorilla hands a brutal beating to both Lions and tigers

Gorilla wins TOUGH battles with grizzly bears

A polar bear fight would be hard to pick

Gorillas are the animal of ISH so it pains me to say this but a hippo would destroy a gorilla. Only animal that fcks with a hippo is an elephant but they're to OP so I wont include them

A fully grown African bull elephant sends entire lion prides running for ze hills at the sight of it. It is completely unbeatable in a one on one encounter (land animals only).

Predators prey on other animals, Hyenas are bad ass but they are scavengers not predators. They are literally beta animals that let things like lions eat first.

Not true. Lions scavenge off them more than the other way around. They're also related more to cats than dogs despite their appearance and the females are larger than the males. Weird creatures.

A hyena on it's own is not a predator :facepalm
They can hunt in packs but on their own or in smaller packs they are scavengers.

When it comes to the ocean, killer whales aka orcas are easily the best. Smart as hell and unbeatable in that terrain. They fck with Great White Sharks for fun. They've been seen going after blue whales before. Incredible teamwork. Also look very nice so they get aesthetic points there. The ultimate underwater predators

[SugarHill]

spotted hyenas hunt together for meals larger than themselves and are social animals so of course they're hunting in packs and would have to scavenge on their own. Male lions do this as well when they're on their own. A lone hyena will fvck up smaller animals by itself too. Spotted hyenas are still considered to be more hunters than scavengers.

As do lions. :confusedshrug:

Of course a male lion is stronger than a lone spotted hyena--the lion is much bigger. A still-growing adolescent elephant would completely destroy a single male lion, does that make the lion a *****?

Ask the leopard if the hyena is a formidable foe. Here a lone spotted hyena chases TWO leopards from their kill:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuhAm7PF45c

Their bite force is the strongest of any land mammal and they're incredibly durable. The fact that they're the lion's arch-enemy, says it all. Who has the balls to chase a group of lionness' from their kill? Hyenas, that's who:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZjszjjHPvA

Their coordinated attack is pure genius. Easily the smartest predator in the world.

[ThePhantomCreep]

Hyenas are ridiculously underrated. I blame that friggin' Disney movie.

Check out this clip. The hyena (predictably) steals a kill from a cheetah, but listen to the reaction at 2:18. These dummies are shocked the cheetah "let" the hyena do that, as if the cheetah could kick its ass :lol .

Wrong. The African Wild Dog is the most successful predator in Africa by far. Hyenas, lions, leopards, cheetahs and other members of the feline family are much less intelligent and none have anywhere near the success of Wild Dogs. Unfortunately Wild Dogs are very susceptible to disease and are killed off by even park wardens and game hunters simply because of their high kill success rate.

Yeah those are spot on odds.

The Gorillas only chance at winning is dislocating a limb or a jaw or something whilst avoiding the massive jaws of the hippo

[HitandRun Reggie]

Hyenas are as smart as monkeys bro so they're definitely smarter than African Wild Dogs. Here's a link from an actual African Wild Dog website that explains the difference between the two. African Wild Dogs may be a "more successful" predator, but thats because it rarely attacks anything its size or larger unless challenged. The reason theyre nearly instinct is because they kill farm animals. Hyenas on the other hand, as this source explains, attack lions just for sport.

Smart as a Chimp. More ferocious than a Lion. Hyena is pound for pound the greatest. Imagine if these things were as big as elephants or Rhinos.

It appears you are correct, unlike it's big cat cousins the hyena is smarter than the wild dog. But they are nowhere near as smart as chimps or most primates, only on specific tests do they outperform primates, parrots do as well. You are wrong that wild dogs prey are mostly smaller than themselves, most of their prey are bigger, only the gazelle is smaller than the WD major prey animals. Disease is the number one killer of WD. Ranchers do kill many too but all predators kill livestock, especially hyenas who kill more than they can eat and will continue killing even after they are full. The difference is, WDs have dens, and are much easier to locate and exterminate than other predators.

Hyenas will also accept a wild dog into their pack, but wild dogs will never accept a hyena into their pack. Wild dogs also kill hyenas on the regular but it is almost unheard of for hyenas to kill wild dogs. A single wild dog will challenge a single hyena for a dead carcass despite the size difference. When is the last time you saw a single hyena challenge a lion for anything?

No one is saying Hyenas are ******* and useless animals. But badass animals? Alpha animals? Don't see that.

Male lions come off as alpha animals. Tigers even more so cause they usually hunt alone and rule alone.

We need to make weight classes.

Super-heavyweight: Rhino, Hippo, Elephant

Heavyweight: Lion, Tiger, Gorilla, Buffalo, Bear

Light Heavyweight: Hyena, Jaguar, African Wild Dog

Etc...

[KingBeasley08]

We need to make weight classes.

Super-heavyweight: Rhino, Hippo, Elephant

Heavyweight: Lion, Tiger, Gorilla, Buffalo, Bear

Light Heavyweight: Hyena, Jaguar, African Wild Dog

Etc...
Nice, how would you rank each of them?

Super-heavyweight:
1. Elephant
2. Rhino
3. Hippo

That was tough but I think the Rhino wins 60% of the time vs. a hippo

Heavyweight:
1. Bear
2. Tiger
3. Gorilla
4. Lion
5. Buffalo

I give Bears the edge over tigers because of their size. I know we all love the Silverback and I think it could def win in some cases versus a bear or tiger but they're pretty chill animals. Bears and tigers throw down and have a lot more experience. It's like a training MMA fighter fighting a very athletic but untrained rookie.

Light Heavyweight:
1. Hyena
2. African Wild Dog
3. Jaguar

I'll be honest. I don't know much about these animals but this is how I see it at the moment

[ThePhantomCreep]

Damn, forgot about the wild dog. They're badass.

Still, hyenas are far more abundant than their direct competitors--lions, leopards, cheetahs, and wild dogs. In that sense, they're the most successful.

I'm calling BS here, the wild dog doesn't have the bite force required to cause serious damage to a hyena. Hyenas have unholy durability. :bowdown:

In this clip, a lone hyena brazenly attempts to steal food from four feeding wild dogs. The hyena does not fear them, and when a second hyena arrives, it's game over.

Than why do they bite and run against one Lion?
I've literally seen videos of them disturbing a sleeping Lion and than as soon as he got up all 24 of them ran in different directions.

Rest I agree.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

No way in bloody hell are Hyenas SMARTER than Chimps.


They said PRIMATES. Not the best of the best Greater Apes for one.

Only measured "problem solving" through the steel box trial. Right, this is very awesome and there's a tale of a dog doing something with blocks.

But Chimps with complex hierarchical social structures, who manipulate sticks to poke into termites, who perfectly use rocks to crush crabs and salt licks and hoard their food and have advanced communication signals for incoming predators etc.

IMO, this is like comparing a puzzle solving Calculus II student to a Calculus I student who is also proficient in Sociology, Home Economics, Leadership, Communication, Business classes lol.

Dolphins, chimps, and the New Caledonian Crow with pigs and cats and Jurassic Park Utahraptors coming second :oldlol:


edit: Maksimilian is known to use hyperbole to crush American myths and it makes sense that Lion King polluted human consciousness with their lies. To get the pendulum swinging elsewhere requires a stuanch contrarian point.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Lions. That video where an alpha male goes up to a full sized croc, and makes it tred back into water is f*cking awesome.

[Smook B]

Didn't know female hyenas had penises :biggums:

[MJistheGOAT]

I think elephant is the true king, but he has a tremendous physical advantage.

Hippo walking in the heads of a lot of crocs, beating 10 lions and being the leader in human killings is a nice choice. He is relatively equal to rhino but a lot more aggresive. Only the godphant beats him.

BUT pound by pound, the wolverine is alpha as *uck. He fears nobody.
