How do people think they can defeat a goose? They're one of the meanest animals on the planet. They're up there with wolverines and opossums.

I'm gonna go ahead and claim defeat over the possible fight with anything. Hell I lost a fight with hair curlers once.
One of those big white ducks with the red gullet things once trapped my son and I in a bathroom at a zoo. We were heading there anyway and my son stopped to look at it, then it start following us a little too fast so we booked it. We did our business and I forgot about the duck until I open the door and it tried charging in. I ended up throwing a roll of toilet paper behind him and while he was distracted we snuck by.
All in all 9/10 zoo day. My son still talks about the time I outsmarted a duck.
I'm pretty confident in fighting most things that are smaller than a dog. Once you get into dog size or larger, things get complicated.
The largest animal I think I could take in a fight is a capybara. Maybe a manatee; but only on land.
