    I think I could punch the head off a cheetah. I'd be fleet of foot enough to sneak up and take him by suprise.

    Any large herbivore can be killed quite easily by making it flee from you for a prolonged amount of time. No need to fight it at all.

    I want to see you make a hippo or rhino "flee"... they would ruin your day.

    They're all afraid of fire too.

    I fought a donkey once!

    I might get in trouble if I tell the story. But I will say the donkey didn't win!

    As a swarthy pre teen farm boy I used to spar with a full grown billy goat. Once you avoided the charge and grabbed the bugger by the horns they aint so tough..... in my defense I grew up in Mayo with just 2 tv channels....

    I've stabbed and pounded a few red snappers. I'd say I came out ahead about half the time.

    I always assumed cows were afraid of people, but they're not really. I went into a field and had to do a rapid exit because all the cattle turned around and started running towards me.

    I seen them chasing a cat out of the field the other day. Apparently they're not so friendly when they're hungry and there's been a huge lack of feed because of the bad weather. Stay out of the fields, them cows are ornery.

    Cows are quiete and dont react when the farmer is around.. Go into a field full of bullocks or heifers and they go mental. They usually stop just before you but there has been people seriously injured/killed

    I was in picking magic mushrooms, I don't think they like to share. Greedy cows.

    Cows, even old fat milking cows, can be incredibly dangerous. They may be domesticated but the haven't lost the herd protection instinct, they will surround and charge you if you look like an easy enough target

    I'd say I could take on an Ostrich. I'm sure I'd do a better job than Homer.



    I'd fight him in English though. Not French.

    I remember reading an article about south african rugby and that a famous south african flanker during the 90's for extra cash would retrive errant springboks. The method was to stand in the cab of a pick up truck as it drove alongside the animal then leap on it tossing it to the ground. Sounds pretty wild.
