    We had this question in a board game where the other people have to guess what animal I would pick. I opted for a herbivore - goat or sheep or something. I can only remember one other answer and that was my 7 year old son who quite brilliantly thought I could take a sperm whale.

    Maybe on land.

      Herbivores can be more dangerous than carnivores because when they fight or flight it is for their lives and carnivores don’t want to be injured while killing.

      A panicked deer will destroy you if it happens to flee into you. Not because it is trying to harm you, but because it weighs a lot and is flailing around like a madman. A goat would do some damage, especially if it gets a chance to head butt you and decides to follow up.
