Fierce animals

[sarahjr]

My 7 year old son would like to know what is the most fierce creature on Earth now ? He is full of questions I am unable to answer after a day at the zoo!

I honestly don't know which is the fiercest creature on earth, some of the insects take some beating, but I think the lovable hippopotomus is up there with the fierce ones, they are responsible for many a human death and are not to be crossed or treated lightly.

Surely humankind is the fiercest animal on Earth.

What other species will kill their own kind in such vast numbers?

I'm sure there will be a debate, but pound for pound, the North American Wolverine has to be one of the fiercest animals in the world.  Read about it here;

In my opinion it owuld be tho Honey Badger.

Very cute looking, but extremley verocious.

The hunt King Cobra's and regulary do battle with leopards.

One extremley vicious and tough animal.

I've heard some pretty wild stories about Wolverines too.

It's a cliche but Man takes some beating in this regard

Apart from the obvious, humans, the European Shrew is a great ,bad tempered ,fighter.

Thank you all for some excellent answers. That should keep him quite. Well for 5 minutes anyway until the next questions start!
