    My rule is anything smaller than my knees is gettin it’s ass kicked. I’ve got strong legs and decent form while kicking, and so far haven’t found a creature that size I couldn’t fend off with a good hit. So far that’s mostly meant wild dogs and a goose.

      Wild boar has used tusk to knee. It is really effective!

        if a wild boar is shorter than like a foot and a half ig I’ll have to grit my teeth and take a stabbing. I’m pretty sure that would have to be a baby or juvenile boar though, and as a general rule I think I can kick any babies.

        Damn this is a good point. I’ve never been anywhere where they’d be an issue.

        I’ve always heard they’re quite slow on land though, is that true? If so, yeah I’m pretty sure it won’t like getting stomped really hard from behind.

        I’m also not sure if I’m counting it if the animal is very long. The technical formula is total volume of animal > height to my knee, so I’d only try to kick a baby to juvenile croc. I don’t think my kicks would do much good to like a 300lb crocodile as long as I am tall.

          They can go pretty fast over short distances.

          But yeah, you could probably take a baby, assuming momma isn’t around.

              As long as you film yourself fighting the baby croc.

                I’ve played with them at the zoo. Bitey, but squishier than you’d think. Does that count?

                  Idk, playing with them isn’t quite fighting them. Did you at least sneak up on them before playing?

                    Unfortunately, I was entirely within view the entire time. Unless my cupping them in my hands completely quenched the light, in which case I played extreme peekaboo and therefore snuck up on them.

        I mean I’d try, and almost certainly get my leg fucked up in the process. Thankfully, I don’t think I’m likely to ever encounter one in the wild, and I hope that I’d be able to resolve the situation peacefully if I ever did.
