    Coyotes are actually pretty small, if it was wolves it would be a different story and if it was wolverines he’d be dead and if it was X-Men wolverine he would be Rogue’d:

      Casper weighted 85 lbs. The average coyote is ±35 lbs.

      Imagine fighting off 11 Baboons and killing 8 with your bare hands in a single night. Because that’s the equivalent.

        I don’t think we he was arguing that it wasn’t impressive insomuch as the pictured animals are wolves and he absolutely would have lost that fight.

        Disclaimer: I’m not actually what the one on the right is, but the one on the left is definitely a wolf.

          Yeah. If we think of gorillas as the T-Rex of the primate world, then on paper baboons are pretty much the velociraptors. About half the weight of a human, really fast, and packing 6 inch canines.

            so if gorillas are t-rexes and baboons are the velociraptors, what would humans be? or, say, rhesus monkeys?

          I was 6’ tall in 7th grade, and no, I wasn’t held back. I’m still 6’ tall now. I didn’t do any vertical growing after the summer between 6th/7th grades.

              Good question. I didn’t have occasion to test it. If we assume a good herd dog is roughly equivalent to Joe Rogan in his prime, I likely would have died though, yeah.

                …wait, are we rewriting Rogan into a top fighter, now? He didn’t even compete after his teenage years, did he?

                Not saying I could get as close as even touching the man, to be clear, but let’s not act like he fought professionally for years

                  wtf, really? I always remember him being close in size to contestants on fear factor. Was that all trickery, or did I just never notice?

                    its a meme but also yeah pretty much. camera angles help a lot. he was on some sasquatch show and it was comical how small he looked compared to the other ppl. but mostly its a meme to say he’s literally 5’3"
