who would win in an all out death match?

allow me to answer your question with a question:

Who would when between a Unicorn and an Elephant?

a killer whale can weigh over 17,000 lbs, a narwhal gets up to about 3,500 lbs. nuff said.

Narwhal would deeze. Size don't matter in the water, what's it going to do? Crush it against the ground? What ground?
Plus, narwhal has more maneuverability.

Killer whale ftw.

This should be a poll, fyi.

Cameronisswell · 03-17-2009, 09:56 PM

they call it killer for a reason

shamu would tear that #### apart

whatsisname6 · 03-17-2009, 10:01 PM

It cheats.

One on one, Killer Whale.

But if we're talking an all out inter-species war, Narwhals, hands down.

Honestly, look at that, that is death extruded into the form of marine mammals.

Maybe if it were a gnarwal

size + strength = big powerful jaws

what animal out there crushes its prey anyway?

I'm just saying that won't matter because it couldn't catch it. It's too big

Buddywolfe · 03-17-2009, 11:36 PM

Killer whales are surprisingly maneuverable.

that's not really how it works in the water. bigger marine animals outrun smaller ones in lots of cases.

"The only predators of narwhals besides man are polar bears and orcas." - from wikipedia, this article, under predation and conservation

I love it man. The Zigs (lime 80a) just grip the ground and DO NOT let go. They are also really shock absorbing if you ride on a lot of rough concrete. I like them so much I ordered another set for my Ben Wei!!

Agreed. That is the only way that the orcas would lose.

TM_Cruzer · 03-18-2009, 01:49 PM

killer whales have taken down blue whales.

Killer FTW.

Unicorn's are ghey, no mater the shape.

You mean aside from scorpions, boa constrictors, anacondas, squid, octopi and kraken?

Well...there's this guy.

But, he's a freak.

Then we could argue about whether what grizzly bears do constitutes crushing--I say hell yes. Sometimes they even
use deadfall traps--but they definitely use their mass as a crushing weapon.

I think wolves pouncing on field mice in the tundra is a bit of a stretch though.

And then there's these guys:

Although, it is more of a punch than a crush.
