Versus Battle 200 Unarmed Men vs Polar Bear

[GalaxyLevelShanks]

Adult walrus are huge. They are the third largest carnivoran species after both species of Elephant Seal.

More than that though is where their weight is distributed. The hide is thick, up to 4 inches (10 cm) around the neck and can make up 20% of the weight of a walrus. Then there is the blubber layer beneath that which can be up to 6 inches (15 cm) thick.

One solid hit from an adult walrus tusk will put a bear down. Those things are as thick as a man's forearm.

There's this 2 minute video that shows that walrus are seriously dangerous for polar bears to attack. The footage looks like it was a female that struck the bear going after her offspring.

Spoiler

That being said, anything that is not a healthy adult is fair game. Sub-adult, juvenile, young and sick adults would be vulnerable to predation. All walrus are still very much scared of polar bears and would much prefer to flee than fight.

Also, when I made that initial post, I actually forgot about the size difference between the Pacific and Atlantic subspecies of Walrus. All the size estimates I remembered were for the Pacific population, which is noticeably larger than the Atlantic population.

The Atlantic population, even adults, are more on par with large polar bears in terms of size, leading to this footage from Russia that I only just found when I was looking for that previous video. Lol.

Spoiler

The guy doesn't mention where in Russia the footage is from.

So in the Atlantic side of the Arctic, everything out of the water is on a polar bear's menu. In the Pacific, only fully grown healthy adult Walrus are too dangerous.

Thanks for the detailed post. Highly appreciated. Learned a lot of new things with this especially the differences between the Pacific/Atlantic walruses. Cheers mate

It would have to get extremely ugly for 200 men to beat a rhino or a hippo
African elephant probably 0 chance

Elephants Never forget

Elephants top 1 fr

I think 200 men can win both of those with a lot of casualties

cyka is right when he says there’s no animal beating us in war of attrition. Eventually other animals tap out, we will be there regardless

Most animals true
Those 3 are no ordinary animals, we are talking 4k kg for Rhinos and Hippos
The african elephant is out of question, 10k kg

Out of those three, the hippo has the biggest exploitable weakness since it needs water to avoid overheating. If the 200 humans are fighting it in a hot environment with no large body of water, they might just be able to exert it enough to overheat and die.

Other than that, I don't see 200 unarmed humans beating those three. Lol.

You’re forgetting small groups of Hunter gatherers used to hunt elephants with basic tools

200 men is just too much. You send waves of 50 to harm it and eventually the wounds would be too much by the third wave

Rhinos are a hard one, but irrc they don’t have really good stamina compared to other mobile creatures and often are victims of hyenas and lions. You don’t 200 men can beat it with a stalking strategy? Same with the hippo?

This isn't even a big elephant

They had spears
Bare handed you can do jack shit to an elephant
A literal 1 year old toddler has a better chance at beating an adult than a pack of hyenas beating a baby hippo
A pack of lions would struggle to put down a young growing hippo lmfao

 

[SakazOuki]

@Roo good luck hurting this guy with your bare fist

 

[Sentinel]

Hell nah, put 200 and there are 200 dead crushed corpses when the elephant is done with them. There's no chance without weapons.

Plus, our ancestors were a different kind of breed when they were hunting large animals. I doubt the average dude is remotely comparable to one of our ancestors.

 

[GalaxyLevelShanks]

We moved up to elephants now? Calm down bruh. I was skeptical enough with polar bears but an african elephant is mauling 200 people in no time

Trust me bro, when I'm serious I just see red

Bruh oldest spears we have are from 300k years ago, humans are millions of years old and we have proof of injuries from hunting

they were literally hunting animals with simple flint tools lmao.

Again, this is the same with the gorilla and bear, you imagine dudes punching the elephant. There are plenty of ways to hurt animals such as attacking their genitals, taking their eyes out etc

Good luck reaching the height of an adult elephant's eyes without falling down or it's genitals without being fucked by the legs

Anatomically speaking we’re not so much different. Not enough to say 2 modern humans can’t take out a homo species from 500k years ago

If you come to this Point

There’s 200 people and I said there will be heavy casualties. When did I imply it will be easy?

 

[Blax Blah]

Well 200 men is a small army so even unarmed they should win
