Y'know... other animals are superior to us in a LOT of ways. Intelligence only trumps that if we're competing with them, and we're still odd man out in a lot of scenarios.
I don't care how smart you think you are, you are very likely to be outmatched in every way that matters if you are put in a wits vs. brawn battle against most animals out there, provided you aren't absolutely prepared.. which... hey, let's just assume you're not prepared for everything all of the time, as absurd as that may seem to you...
