Absolutely.

could humans defeat rats if both had the same strength.

YES.

demonrail666 · 08.30.2009, 03:02 PM

yeah, have to agree

Anngella · 08.30.2009, 03:02 PM

Why would the human win? Unless it was using a human-made weapon, I don't see why it would win.

EDIT: If it was a war with every species of animal, that is.

With or without weapons?

demonrail666 · 08.30.2009, 03:03 PM

yeah, but you'd have to consider a man made weapon, just as you'd have to consider a spider's web

Anngella · 08.30.2009, 03:04 PM

Spiders are biologically programmed to build webs for survival. Humans aren't biologically programmed to build nuclear bombs for survival.

Also, I think the waterbear would win because if that kind of war was going on, it could just hide under something and nothing would know it was there.

Animals are too stupid to have the internet and polls. And that's just a start.

and we have steven seagal

Precisely. We have a variety of things to choose from, they don't. They don't have ipods or discounted food. It must be a boring life being a cow, what with chewing grass, and not much else to do?

One thing animals have is a lack of irony, which makes them more amiable, when not aggressive, creatures than your average human being

SYRFox · 08.30.2009, 03:52 PM

Elephants

Toilet & Bowels · 08.30.2009, 04:02 PM

locusts maybe.

but really humans are already winning this war, i mean look at how many speceis we've defeated (i.e. made extinct) already

SYRFox · 08.30.2009, 04:13 PM

actually, axolotls. Their ability to regenerate whole parts of their bodies (ie their brain) combined with an added strength would lead them to victory

well you could argue that our development of weapons like nuclear bombs is a product of our biological programming.

Poll is closed, we've got a winner.

I don't see the point of this thread if we count humans as animals. The answer is obvious.

Strength doesn't separate homo sapiens from the rest of the animal kingdom. Intelligence and history does.
