Sup niggas?



According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Cassowaries are the world’s most dangerous birds, capable of dealing fatal blows. They are very unpredictable, aggressive creatures, especially if wounded or cornered. Cassowaries have a reputation for being dangerous to people and domestic animals. During World War II American and Australian troops stationed in New Guinea were warned to steer clear of them. A cassowary's three-toed feet have sharp claws. The inner or second of the three toes is fitted with a long, straight, murderous nail which can sever an arm or eviscerate an abdomen with ease. *Cassowaries can run up to 50 km/h (31 mph) through the dense forest. They can jump up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) and they are good swimmers, crossing wide rivers and swimming in the sea as well. There are many records of natives being killed by this bird throughout New Guinea.

The Ugly Ass Frilled Shark




http://dsc.discovery.com/sharks/shar...rill-shark.jpg
Welcome to the Terrordome


Exhibiting several "primitive" features, the frilled shark has often been termed a "living fossil". It reaches a length of 2 m (6.6 ft) and has a dark brown, eel-like body. Seldom observed, the frilled shark is speculated to capture its prey by bending its body and lunging forward like a snake. The long, extremely flexible jaws enable it to swallow large prey whole, while the many rows of small, needle-like teeth prevent escape. Alternatively, it may surprise its prey by curving its body and, bracing itself with its posteriorly positioned fins, launching a quick strike forward in the manner of a snake. It may also be able to close its gill slits and create negative pressure to suck prey into its mouth.


WINN~ERS

•Will be updating this as see fit.
•Winner will be determined by who can contribute the strongest argument for their candidate (will most likely be me if/when no-one responds to this thread)
• User submitted candidates are welcome!!! :D Please limit it to a contest of only 2, and no poisonous animals just because they're kinda lame.
• This is also now a tournament, that will consist of 8 initial contestants, and then 4 then 2 until we decide grand supreme ruler

This is a tough one, because the shark would be useless on land but I doubt the gorilla could do much underwater either....
Nevertheless, I would vote Gorilla because it's appearance just screams manliness, the shark is just ugly as f*ck.

It also lives in volcanoes (ok, maybe on, but the idea of this flaming death-gorilla screaming up from the depths of Tartarus like rage incarnate is too awesome).

The shark looks like it would have a hard time actually getting those fangs on anything, on account of its nose getting in the way.

I vote gorilla and here is a song to back up my choice.

gorilla for me, because I don't mind being one

the goblin shark is nowhere near as awesome as a Great White

Gorilla, because:

woah, nice job guys! :)
The gorilla was a unanimous winner!

It was rather obvious in retrospect. With genetic engineering it's only a matter of time before we make a race of super gorillas that can take down helicopters and shit

round 2 is up!

Im gonna have to go with the bateleur, he just looks like a winner

Going to have to go for the bird, because the Tasmanian Tiger is actually extinct.

Both are extinct, so they're both losers. BITCH PLEASE.

Yeah, IDK how I'm supposed to judge extinct animals accurately because they pose no threat to me now.

I present round 3:

ROUND 3 IS UP

I am going to have to reformat your post a little bit, in keeping with the overall aesthetic, hope you don't mind.

The bateleur is endangered, it's not actually extinct. There should still be some living in the wild in Sub Saharan Africa.

Round 3:

Definitely the cassowary, they have them at Edinburgh Zoo, they are oddly intriguing emu-type birds with a variety of colours and an aggressive nature. I once saw one swallow an entire banana.

the frilled shark just cos it's ugly as fuck

The cassowary isn't exactly going to win any beauty contests either.

However, that shark just doesn't look real, surely no creature subject to evolution could look like that in 2012. It's surely got to try and attract a mating partner?

I'm gonna go with the shark. The cassowary has pretty cute looking feet though :)

Why is everyone picking land vs water warz? I was hoping to see The Panda Bear vs a Koala Bear. If they ever woke up from slumber it would be an epic battle. :bringit:

If you want to make a write up and find some fuzzy pictures for that I'll add it to the thread :D

Koala's are actually surprisingly aggressive, but you'd have to figure the mild-mannered Panda would squash a koala with its sheer mass.

penis shark ftw

huh?! how did they fight?! ahahaha!!
