Which is the toughest land animal?

If you had to pick one land animal that would win first in a fight with all others, what would it be? This was my discussion at work and the following animals came up: Polar bear, Anaconda, rhino, spitting cobra, lion, tiger, or what else. The only stipulation was if both animals were going to die the one whom died last was the winner.

    Elephants are the toughest and strongest land animals. Very few animals can take down an elephant in a one-on-one brawl. The only two animals that have a chance of taking down an Elephant in a one-on-one fight, are Rhinos and Hippos. A Rhino could possibly kill an elephant by impaling and stabbing with its horn several times, until the elephant dies from blood loss. An Hippo could also kill an elephant by fatally wounding the Elephant with its massive jaws. But even then, the chances of a Rhino or Hippo killing an elephant are quite low.

    i will make it easier to know without a doubt the toughest land animal is a toddler duck. I easily have constantly been inspired with toddler duck for his or her potential to stand up to abuse. Watch them it sluggish. The sheer style of circumstances in an trouble-free day that a toddler duck falls 2 it’s very own top is marvelous. think of approximately it if I dropped you 12 ft 10 or 20 circumstances an afternoon how beat up might you be?

    Based on size and aggressiveness, a male hippo would be the toughest. A hippo is extremely territorial and will attack anything that comes near it. In fact, the male hippo is the one animal which strikes fear in a crocodile, which speaks volumes about its true nature. In the wild, the hippo has very few predators since most animals are smart enough to stay away. The hippos only weakness would be that it has to stay cool in the water to beat the intense savanna heat so a long battle would not be possible far from the water.

  • Insects in general. 400 million years can't be wrong. Only invertebrate to fly as well.

    they can build a resistance to insecticides in a few generations.

    they can live without their heads

    you can squash them but they will keep on going

    the eusocial insects are amazing as well.

    after we're all dead and gone insects will still be going

    and technically africanized bees can take down animals much larger than themselves, with little damage done to their colony.

    I wonder if an elephant would mess with a kimodo dragon or a large monitor lizard?
