    Wolf. Wolves are naturally shy of humans, and while gorillas are also, gorillas are also much bigger and stronger. If one decides it’s mad at you it will pull your limbs off. Or worse. A wolf will try to rip you apart and tear your throat out if it’s mad at you, but since it’s in a different weight class you might actually stand a chance if you curl up in the fetal position or whack it in the face with a rock.

    Even though it’s the most prolific killer of the animal kingdom, the winner of the competition turned out to be the mosquito.

      My wife would probably pick the man over the mosquito. She hates those things because they always seem to seek her out.

    Can men participate as judges in the tourney, this time?

    Wolf. It’s a singular wolf, so it honestly cannot beat me if it tried. Even if we assume the other two are more docile, all they need to do is try and I would be dead.

      Your chances of beating a wolf are low enough that you’d probably be better off with the quick death the other two would provide.

        I’ve dealt with wolves at the wildlife sanctuary before. They’re big stupid smelly dogs. If you can flex your arm real good they won’t be able to tear into you, and if you can put your weight on them you’ve already won.

        Definitely don’t recommend it for people with brittle bones, or discord mods, but I’m jacked af bro.

          Cops use dogs to take down suspects all the time, and those are domesticated animals that know when they will be getting their next meal. Wolves are bigger than 90% of all dogs, and are wild animals that know what it means to be hungry. You aren’t able to beat a wolf in a fight.

            Counterpoint, 90% of dogs are companion pets and police dogs are selectively bred and trained for taking down suspects. Plus, how many of those people die? Predators don’t risk injury while hunting unless completely starved, wolves are pack hunters that surround their prey.

        We should do the opposite of Noah’s arc where we put 2 of every animal, including humans, in the Houston Astrodome and have them fight to the death until one emerges.

          Do we all get prep time. And can animals who are capable of making them get tools, or do we have to make tools ourselves

    I’d pick wolf. They generally leave you alone and don’t want anything to do with you. I don’t know shit about gorillas

      Gorillas will tear off your face and testicles AFAIK. Just imagine the depraved shit a human would do to you assuming they could get away with it without repercussion.

      They wouldn’t hesitate to fuck you up.

        Gorillas are WAY more chill than chimpanzees. Just dint make eye contact and be respectful to the gorilla and it will leave you alone. They know that they are capable of fucking you up, and they know you know.

    Definitely wolf. If I get trapped with a gorilla and some shots it to save me, humanity get will get so much negative karma on top of what we are still paying from 2016 and I won’t be able to live with the guilt.

    Gorilla? I feel like being super submissive and not making eye contact would probably keep it from tearing off my arms to use as drumsticks? I’m not a gorilla expert though, so anyone who knows more can feel free to tell me. Although I guess with a wolf, you could just climb a tree and be ok, depending on how long you have to stay. Either, I guess. I’m pretty convinced that I’ll die trying to pet a wild animal when the moron part of my brain tells me it’s friend-shaped, anyway, so whatever.

      You’re not completely wrong, but if safety is your concern then you should really be operating under the assumption that the animal will attack you. In that case you’ve chosen a 200 kg gorilla who can climb over a 40 kg wolf who can’t. Bears are actually the heavier of the three depending on race and gender, and some of them can climb while others cannot.
