Quality shitposting

I think the pay per view and promoter would be the clear winners.

If the 400 cats (assuming domestic cats) can work together as a unit, then I believe they can do anything. Knowing cats, though, I'm going to back the other competitors.

This is a hunger games I can get behind. And my money is on the polar bear or the orca, depending on environment.

Idk man 44 pounds of fire ants is a lot

About 18 million ants, give or take like 8 million depending on size (which varies a lot)

They wouldn’t be able to penetrate the hide of either one. Not even close.

I think the big tree would lose.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Well, you did use a question mark so technically this is fair play.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Since no arena is specified I assume it to be the only logical place.

In space! (the winner is brought back to their natural habitat)

Everything else would be unfair to at least one of the parties.

I think the ants would outlast all the animals and insects. They might freeze solid and (some) might survive the unfreezing after the figh. Or they could form a giant ball where the ones in the middle survive. And who cares if 19kg die.

On the other hand, the oak would probalby last weeks and could sprout new leaves and roots again if given proper treatment back on earth.

So ... GO TREE!
