Set Wars aside am I the only one irritated but the cac desire to dominate everything for the sake of entertainment?

Our natural tendency is to exist in the ecosystem in equilibrium with everything else, but others want to dominate for the sake of dominating.

Him smacking that lion then pulling out the cattle prod reminds me police talking wild shxt with their hand on the holster.

But maybe I'm looking too deep.

on a serious note

if dogs grew to be as big as Tigers and Lions would they be a bigger threat?

like would a tiger stand a chance against a dire wolf from game of thrones?

This actually made me think. :ohhh: And read. Negged. :upsetfavre:

All big cats (except cheetahs) have sharp, retractable claws and elongated canines. Dogs only have the canines.

1) The Dire Wolf was an actual prehistoric canine (dog, not bear-dog), the largest ever and came in at roughly 200 pounds. The largest cat ever (sabre-tooth cat, Smilodon) were pushing 1,000 pounds; they were almost 5x bigger.
:damn:

2) The strongest bite (accounting for body mass, and in absolute terms) from a big cat (jaguar) is less than the strongest bite from a "big" dog" only when also accounting for mass (African wild dog), but not by much.
:whoa:
3) Also consider that the average AWD is roughly 3 times lighter/smaller than an average sized jaguar. :mjcry:


So if both animals were the same size, the direwolf *might* have the stronger bite, but it probably would not be significantly so. Also, because dogs are omnivores whereas big cats (lions) are hypercarnivores, the lion would most likely have the sharper teeth and thus able to concentrate it's bite over a much smaller surface area (meaning deeper bite).

As much as I hate cats, the direwolf would probably lose. Cats are faster, more agile, have sharper teeth and claws, and can potentially bite much harder. And in the protective mane of a male lion and it's over for the dire wolf.

But but but :mjlol:



Fat cac chased off wild lions with toilet paper

The reality of being in that situation.

:merchant:

Two lions, and you just have to stand your ground, so to speak.
Because if you try to make a run for it....
