Sorry if this offends any canibals out there...
No, "Jessica Alba" isn't an option. :D

No, "Jessica Alba" isn't an option. :D

How about a Fass option?

Bruno leads.

How about a Fass option?

Tempting, but no. I'd like to have a thread that for once doesn't mention George Bush, Iraq, or... oh, hell.

Can I be George Bush in Iraq? No? Oh hell.

I'll be a leopard, then.

They're the best-looking, sleekest big cats (well, not really in the pic you picked, but still). And they lounge around in trees most of the time, which sounds like an awesome way to pass the time.

Except I wouldn't want to eat any people. Or animals, really. I'd just have to be a vegetarian leopard. *nod*

I'd be a windigo (http://www.americanfolklore.net/folktales/northwestterritories1.html).

Polar Bear

Its a simple life as a polar bear.

If it moves it is food

Crocodile. They can get pretty old.

HEEHEEHEE!

Linky. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/guide/img/rjf_rooster3.jpg) :p

I'd be a Komodo dragon, because they are the biggest lizards on earth, and they are good at biting.

(I'm in a hammock!!!!!):p

Tiger.

I think tigers hold the record for man-eating. IIRC, the man-eater of Kumaon (anybody read Jim Corbett here?) killed about 350 people.

Komodo Dragon all the way. Those motherfuckers are not only deadly, but their rarity lends them an air of mystery, which can be a potent psychological weapon.

A maneater? Already one of those. ^^ But anyway...

RAWR!*

Incidentally, also my Chinese birthsign. I just love 'em. ^^

*Yeah, so what if tigers don't. :p

That is a brilliant comic strip. Thanks. Its my second favorite net strip now.

'Tis a shame you didn't add any of the big snakes like the reticulated python or the anaconda, or the venomous ones like the King Cobra or the Black Mamba. Those are vicious death machines. ^^

Too bad that none of the animals you've listed really eat humans, save maybe the tiger. But tigers only eat people because the Vietnamese are short!

I think I'll go with the liger. They're freakin' huge, freakin' awesome, and they get all the transvestites, too.

... Or is it "tion"?

I chose the Great White Shark. As was said in the movie Jaws, it's a miracle of evolution. All it does is eat, sleep, and make little sharks.

Tigers are around 9 ft long and 400 lbs in that area of the world. Eating a man is no problem for them. Even less so in Siberia, where they reach 13 ft and 850 lbs. Keep in mind, tigers, like most felines, hunt for prey far larger than themselves (the 200 lbs Javan tiger could kill bulls ten times its size).

I just looked them up. Damn, they are huge! :eek: Their reverse though, the tigon, is about as big as a normal tiger.

Well, I could have told you that.

And they get all the transvestites. Napoleon Dynamite ruined the liger for everybody. Hey, at least we still have the maltese tiger. Or rather, we probably don't due to humans kicking too much ass in the wilderness. Still, the concept of a maltese tiger is damn cool.

(Yes, they really are/were blue. No, that's just a taxidermic example.)

How on earth does that fur colour occur amongst the species?

Or at least Blackie Lawless does.

Well, seeing as all of the sightings of the such tigers have been in the mountainous regions of China and Korea, where people hate America and its capitalist soul-stealing genetic research, we can't be certain. However, there was a Bengal tiger cub born in some zoo which possessed a bluish tinge to its fur. Its mother killed it shortly after birth, unfortunately. Sounds like recessive genes to me.

It would seem so. It's odd. Too bad it doesn't occur more frequently. I suppose the mother killed it because of its odd colour? I have heard of tiger mothers practising infanticide, but it is by no means common.

Ive read reports of all of them having killed and at least mostly eaten humans with the exception of the komodo dragon. Im unsure about them. Unless you meant the snakes in the post above yours. Some pythons have eaten humans

That, and a haircut.
I'll upload a W.A.S.P. song, then you can tell me what else he needs.

I don't think it matters now whether or not tigers practice infanticide. But hey, if you want to join my in my six-year camping trip in the Himalayas, I'll be more than happy to have some company. After that, I'm going to be living in an Olive Garden restaurant, cashing in on the "endless soup and salad" deal.

Pythons and anacondae both, yes. They devour crocodiles, and even big cats on occassion. So humans are not much of a meal. I don't know why I added the venomous snakes. -_-

I was going to say shark, because they are in thier element and comin' out of nowhere and if you want to kill one, you're gonna need a bigger boat...

But then I saw this picture of a leopard...

Where do I sign up? XD

When they say looks that can kill, they aren't lying.

There are giant maneating catfish, too. I read about it in a tropical aquarium-keeper's book. The author went on about it, he said, "I'm only including this for completeness's sake. Don't get one, even a small one, because they get big. And they're aggressive. You fall in the water with a big one, say goodnight." According to him, they can get up to 12' long.

It should go noted that although they don't eat them, hippos kill more people in Africa than lions and crocs together. Pigs can and will kill and eat a human, too.

But then I saw this picture of a leopard...



Ive read an account of a hunter in africa who shot an old leopard that had started hunting humans.(presumably because the leopard had grown too old to humt faster safer game) When he found and killed the cat it had dragged a (dead) man up a tree backwards by his skull to eat him.

Lets not forget the wolves of northern europe/asia. There was real reason that wolves were big and bad in fairy tales.

Orcas have killed and presumably eaten humans before too.

Send me one by TG. ;)
You got two coming your way.


Where do I sign up? XD
Well, you could sign up here. I mean, I really don't have a comprehensive list or anything. There's only two or three other people coming along so far, but the more the merrier. After all, somebody has to keep the breadsticks coming while the others sleep, or else there's a greater chance of getting kicked out.

And here's a picture of that baby [pseudo-]melanistic tiger. It was preserved in a jar, so yeah: http://www.messybeast.com/genetics/blktigercub.jpg

Say what?
Brown Bears - roughly 2 fatal attacks a year in North America, some of which are eaten
Crocodile - Yes indeed they eat lots of people - the Battle of Ramree Island (http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=54116) is the largest single incident
Great White Shark - absolutely
Komodo Dragon - rare, but yes
Leopard - the Leopard of Rudraprayag ate over 125 people, IIRC
Lion - The Man-Eaters of Tsavo anybody?
Polar Bear - Yes

Peculiar looking creature, although the image isn't all that clear. You can just barely tell it's a tiger.

Damnit, don't argue with me! I have more Kool-Aid here than you can possibly imagine! Picture yourself going to the beach one day, only to find that the water is red. Yeah, I ain't bluffin'.

:confused: Say what? Is that a bizzare attempt at a threat or a joke that I didn't get at all???

No one has yet mentioned the real most dangerous animal in the world - a shark riding an elephant's back, just trampling and eating anything in its path.

:confused: Say what? Is that a bizzare attempt at a threat or a joke that I didn't get at all???
Yes, yes it is. However, I do have an unnatural amount of powdered Kool-Aid in my possession at the moment. If somebody were to look at my stock, they would say "Holy crap, that's a lot of Kool-Aid." Don't put any more thought to it, though. I'm using the stuff to barter with an Australian... seriously.

HEEHEEHEE!

Linky. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/guide/img/rjf_rooster3.jpg) :p

While that is obviously a cock to be reckon'd with, it lacks teeth. :D

Well, wolves or wolfpacks only hunted humans at the end of a long and harsh winter when game became scarce.
Wolves have a very developed survival instinct, and they learned early that humans are prey to be avoided unless it's an emergency.

Single wolves might attack humans because they are mad or starving as well.

I'd include rat or perhaps rats in that list too though.
Rats doesn't eat humans very often as such, but they are capable of swarming over a human and kill him. And then, of course they wouldn't let all that meat go to waste.

Plus, they're agile, smart and can chew through most things.
They're a bit like the special ops troops. Infiltrate, strike and then fade away without being seen. ;)


Btw, was it only man eaters on the list, or man killers (since the venomous snakes suggested before aren't man eaters, but man killers. Python and Anaconda are occasional man eaters though)?

If it's killers, I think the insects win hands down.
Probably the malaria mosquito.

Yep, maneaters. Mankillers is a waaaaaaaaaaaaay longer list. Heck, the carrion eaters alone would be like 3 polls.

Sorry but your poll options just aren't quite suited for me, plus this thread is just asking for....

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/dd/Killer_rabbit.JPG/250px-Killer_rabbit.JPG
Here's my answer...

actually, none of those are MANEATERS. attacks are usually in defense of territory/young, Diseased animals, or by mistakes. Humans, generally don't taste good to animals.

the only possible exception to the list would be the Komodo Dragon. Those guys would eat anything, even if it was rotted and moldy, it would still be food.

Great white shark because I like fish.

Oooh, big purly purty teeth.......

Apparently I'm already a man eater, or so my "friend" claims. I swear, I didn't start being mean to guys untill after they all wrote me off as an ugly loser.

That lion needs to brush his teeth.

And I would be willing to be eaten by Jessica Alba ANYDAY;) ;) ;) ;)

Jessica Alba isn't a maneater, she's an Alpha.
As such, she merely follow her instinct and keep a large herd of breeders. :P

That is a brilliant comic strip. Thanks. Its my second favorite net strip now.
Glad you enjoy it - had me cracking up more than once :D Among my top 3 I'd say.

I'd be a crocodile so I could eat Steve Erwen. Like to see him try to hunt me. ;)

I picked a Komodo dragon because they are the only animals on the list who dont get hunted by humans (although tigers are not SUPPOSED to get hunted.).

How are you going to formulate human killing strategies when you are dead or constantly on the run.

In the later case, very very quickly.
In the former, you got all the time in the world to figure out strategies and tactics.
No way to implement them though.

Still around? It's only 4 days old... that's no record.

Yes, those are nice ones!

A massive fucking eagle.

I would swoop down and snatch children, bam. Then wing it back to my nest for dinner.

Children are so inferior to to me, that if I was an eagle, I'm pretty sure mankind would be gone in a few weeks. After I got full on children, I'd just fly them up as high as I could then drop them. SPLAT! That's fun that would never, ever get old.

I miscast my damn vote :(

I'd be a Lion. King of the jungle :cool:
