The lower tiers are too empty for my liking. Need to take some away from the top and fill out the bottom. For balance purposes.
The jaguar (onça-pintada) should be higher. They are arguably the most powerful predators of the Americas. They can run up to 80 Km/h; they can climb trees; they have jaws strong enough to crush bones; they are proficient swimmers, being able to hunt prey in the water, including alligators; their roar is bone-shivering; they are stunning and iconic; they are important for the ecosystem balance. Note that while the jaguar may be phisically similar to the African leopard, the jaguar is faster and stronger, and a better swimmer.
Last I checked Grizzlies and other bears live in American continent so that rules out the most powerful. Yes all other big cats do the same thing, and they don’t hunt alligators but caimans, alligators are too big. It’s basically just a black version of other big cats.
The animal I talked about is called “onça-pintada”. It’s not necessarily black. It’s the third biggest feline, being smaller than the tiger and the lion. It’s the most powerful predator in Amazon rainforest. People often say it’s the most powerful in the Americas, but they are wrong, then. I didn’t know the english words for “onça-pintada” and “jacaré” and just put them in translator.
Oh, is that what we’re gonna do today? We’re gonna fight?
I’m sorry but it seems you forgot to add the Rock Hyrax. If this was a mistake, don’t let it happen again. If this was your intention, then I have bad news for you
It wasn’t in the options but if it was I’d put it right up with the hedgehog
blasphemous
Hyraxes are the most important individuals.
Alright, I’ll say this only once: move dolphins up to god tier right now or there will be consequences! (Namely that the tier list will be wrong)
No, no way, wife and kid-beaters and eel abusers
You chose violence today.
Dogs should be in the God tier
Needs the “Eighth Circle of Hell” for cockroaches and mosquitoes
And house ants
Ticks, parasitic worms 🤮
I hate finding cockroaches in my home but I’ve definitely found an appreciation for them in general. They’re pretty important to the world’s ecosystem.
Not putting mosquitos in D? We will have some words, comrade
i don’t get these posts… not just this in particular but the whole tier thing. What does this come from? Why is there an S? Why an S+?
Tier lists originated in video game culture pretty much. It’s a way to try to subjectively rank things within a game by its viability. The s tier thing comes from Japan I believe, where in some academic cases they give an S grade for excellent performance. In the context of tier lists the reason there might be a S+ tier is because some characters might be really really good and are in S tier but some characters are just way better than everyone else and are in a league of their own.
amazing explanation, thank you for taking the time!
You are seriously underrating panthers, dolphins, and giraffes. You are overrating scorpions, chimps, and cassowaries, as well as orangutans, though I am loathe to admit it.
Dolphins are… yeah they were high on my list before I found out some things about them, look it up, Giraffes are mid/average, Panthers are just generic big cats so not special(check out black wolves for peak badassery). Scorpions are literally one of my trademark creatures, and no, apes and dinosaurs cannot be put high enough lmao
Dolphins are… yeah they were high on my list before I found out some things about them, look it up
Intelligent animals have a high degree of differentiated personalities and cultures. Some dolphins are really bad dudes, but that can’t be generalized to all dolphins any more than [x bad act] can be generalized to all humans, or blaming fighting ring dogs for holding on to their conditioning. Dolphins raised in more pro-social environments will turn out more pro-social.
Octopi are also highly individual (though they don’t really have cultures because they are solitary, unless their distributed intelligence interacting with itself counts as a culture) for the same reason.
apes and dinosaurs cannot be put high enough lmao
That said, if you are really worried about animals committing heinous acts of torture and sexual violence, I’ve got some absolutely dire news for you about chimps.
Male dolphins are like that in the wild, not that we train them like dogs.
Yes.
As for chimps, they are literally us 98% and same as humans where on one hand you have Castro and on the other Kissinger, every individual is different.
I’m going to become the joker. What you explained with chimps is literally exactly what I just explained to you with dolphins. They are highly individual.
owls not being GOD tier is L take, also pigeons should be D tier you’ve clearly never had one shit on your head or food.
Funny thing is that it’s exactly the reason I put them so low, just they didn’t do that on head, but on car, places for sitting etc and when we were little, me and my brother tried to catch them since our grandpa and cousin like to prepare meals exactly like with chickens but they were always too fast and always escaped lmao.
Only reason for them not being in D is that I find the insects above too disgusting and had even worse experience with them lmao and bald eagle being bald eagle.
These creatures once shit on a bag of potato chips i had just opened.
apes in god tier
Everything you say is beautiful and true.
Monke
possums do not exist on this tier list, which deserve to be in S+ at least, next to cabybara
Triple S Unbeatable Always Best Tier: my cat
