I mean a rat could give you plague but it’s not like you should be concerned about not being able to take one in single combat. If it’s life and death just stomp on the bloody thing.
Beats me how so many people don’t believe they could defeat trivial foes
The interpretation of the question might play a role.
"Which animals could you beat in a fight ... one out of ten tries, after getting plenty of tips and training?"
vs.
"Which animals could you beat in a fight ... confidently any day before breakfast ... without a scratch or breaking a nail ... even if you get set against the most ferocious, fastest and biggest specimen?"
Fair. Assuming the latter which is more constrained, who are the 30% doubting their rat fighting skills before breakfast?
I have seen people freeze when they see a spider. My profound studies of Tom & Jerry cartoons tell me that some people can kick a cat, but jump on a chair when they see a mouse.
