if all animals had the same level of strength, which species would win in a war? - Page 3

demonrail666 · 08.30.2009, 04:48 PM

ok, not including humans

pbradley · 08.30.2009, 05:07 PM

Then I think it comes down to which has the greatest social intelligence in order to mobilize that strength.

demonrail666 · 08.30.2009, 05:10 PM

which would be?

Dead-Air · 08.30.2009, 05:14 PM

As the question is stated, humanity would win because we would have the same strength as all of the other species, and continue to be slightly more intelligent.

If all of the species had the same intelligence, but the strengths were unchanged, we'd be completely fucked and polar bears would rule the land.

I'm not sure that's true.

Not including humans, and with all the same strength, I'd say ants would roll over everything else in about a week.

The thing is, animals/insects/lesser species have no capability when it comes to combining skills with questioning practicality, and its severe imposing on other species. Unless aliens exists, and maybe they do, but who cares about fighting invisible enemies?

And then they would soon starve to death after they consumed everything.

Sure, but I'm not acting as their advisor.

i see your logic pbradley, a perfect 'helter skelter' scenario

No demand for one.

I think it shows that any species on Earth beside humanity, given the power, is just as logically determined to doomsday events. However, a wave of super powerful ants wouldn't be able to change the chemical make-up as we humans are capable, which could potentially prevent another cyclical birth of life.

spiders.

there's a huge one on my front porch and even at it's current strength, I'm afraid of it.

the other night, from a safe distance (of course), I watched it fuck. the male was half it's size and spent most of the time trying to not be eaten.

today, it caught the biggest butterfly I've ever seen.

if it thought that I was of equal strength, I'd already be dead.

so recap:

SPIDERS: LIKE TO FUCK, EAT BIG MEALS, HAVE FAST LEGS, BITE HARD.

Cockroaches, no one can nuke those fuckers

hippomopotamus - aren't they the most aggressive animals?

then again, if you take humans from the equation, i could say "chimps". i mean look at the little fuckers:

but after reconsidering, i'd say no. mosquitos would win the war. they have the air force, they're motherfucking evil, and they'd kill a chimp army dead in seconds.

lucyrulesok · 08.31.2009, 01:34 PM

well actually surely whatever has the biggest numbers...?

and can similar species team up? like bats - would each type of bat be its own team? or could they all club together? bats i reckon could do pretty well. they have radar.

gmku · 08.31.2009, 01:56 PM

I like Golden Retrievers. I think they should get to be the winners. Yayyy!
