What real life animals can give Brother Condor a good fight?

[Tom]

Post articles and pictures of animals that can give our beloved Diao Xiong AKA Brother Condor a good fight or maybe even BEAT the old bird. And please, no Godzillas and King Kongs.

Let me start off:

GUSTAVE - A CROCODILE - This croc measures at over 2000 pounds and over 20 ft. long! If we compare his size to Diao Xiong he might even be BIGGER!

Why no one post?

But seriously, no matter how much wind Brother Condor can generate, can it possibly defeat a 2000 pound MONSTER? This MONSTER can even withstand BULLETSHOTS. This is so crazy...

I would imagine big cats like lions or tigers would give brother condor a lot of trouble.

Not really. From chapter 34.

Yang Guo said, “OK. Brother Eagle, lets get down.” One man and one eagle
leapt from the tree.

Shaking out his sleeve, he jumped down with the eagle. Several beasts
immediately pounced at them as soon as their feet touched the ground.
The eagle waved its wings left and right. The wolves and other smaller
animals were pushed back by the gust of wind alone. The bigger animals
were knocked down or pushed back staggering with each hit. Suddenly a
very big lion and a very big tiger leaped at them with loud roars. The
eagle again parried the attack with its formidable wings. The lion and
the tiger were knocked over down. The eagle’s left wing struck the
tiger’s head and it died instantly. This incident frightened the other
animals away.

"The other animals" included elephants.

Based on this passage, Brother Condor seems to be a pretty formidable opponent. But how will he fare against MONSTER KING Gustave?

Gustave can survive bullets so not even XL18Z or 1YZ can harm him...hahaha!

Not necessarily. Maybe techniques like that somehow injure the body in a way different from that of bullets. You must realise no actual piercing occurred when an opponent is struck by such skills. Internal energy, I believe, is different from how bullets work.

Back to the topic, I think that crocodile would give Brother Condor one hell of a fight. I do not have an idea of who will win, but it seems that the crocodile has more chance. Not to say Brother Condor will necessarily lose, of course.

That makes sense. But Yiyang Zhi does have some piercing effects. If bullets can't hurt it then Yiyang Zhi won't have much of a success UNLESS it can immobilize the Croc's body, which is pretty unlikely.

And hell yeah, Gustave vs. Brother Condor might be even more entertaining than watching Huashan Tourney.

seriously, WTH IS THAT.

[pannonian]

It's an 8 foot long boar, that the kid behind it killed with the handgun he's holding. The perspective, and the fact that the bloke standing behind it is a kid, makes it look bigger than it is. Not that it's small - it's one of the biggest on record, although there have been bigger. IIRC it weighed not much under 1000 kg.

Man, I'd be eating ham sandwiches and pork chops for months...

Maybe you're the most dangerous animal that the condor can face?

What makes you say that?

Between North Beggar Hung 7 Gung and me, we'll show that condor what's what...

Dunk Brother Condor into the water and I think an Orca or Great White should do it.

So, did that kid eat the boar? Obelix would have loved it!

[pannonian]

I'll try and dig up that story.

The boar was 9'4" long (don't go Spinal Tap and mix up the measurements), and weighed 1050-odd pounds. See the bottom part of this report to see Snopes' take on this.

Mike Stone is having sausage made from the rest of the animal. "We'll probably get 500 to 700 pounds," he said.

Whao its that big and a pistol can kill it? I wonder how many bullets it took.

One will do if you can get off a shot into the brain.

Cruel thing to contemplate so early in the morning...

Yea but judging from its size, the size of its skull will also be thick and strong so a bullet can prob go in from the eye or something but still, dun think a PISTOL can do that in 1 shot.

8 shots with a .50 calibre.
