        I know it is just noise and not statistically significant, but I love the idea that more women than men feel they could take on a lion!

        in my early 20s, i used to always say i could take a lion. Put me in a room with a lion, and I am coming out. Now, in my early 40s (never having fought a lion or any big cat) i am confident i could take a hedgehog. Well, fairly certain i could take a hedgehog anyway.

        "unarmed human" Seems unfair; they get to use the beneficial results of evolution but we don't...

        Where are they finding these 6-8% of people who feel like they could take on a grizzly bear or lion?

        Or the 12-22% who feel they could beat a chimp? Just because they're not enormous doesn't mean they can't wreck you.
