The wikipedia page for Megalodon is a featured article, which makes it a very trusted source.Ay so should the 41000 psi bite value be removed from the Megalodon's profile? Because I tried looking for a source that states that but again, I hadn't found one, one of them that states that it had a bite force of up to 41000 pounds of force (182377.0856 newtons), which the source cites the same study that estimates the Megalodon's bite force as being 108514 - 182201 newtons.
alrightThe wikipedia page for Megalodon is a featured article, which makes it a very trusted source.
Most other sources cite 40 to at most 41 thousand psi. But since wikipedia is edited regularly, that ironically makes the posterior bite force of 108,514 to 182,201 N (24,395 to 40,960 lbf).
Despite wikipedia traditionally not being the go to source, you can update the psi & N/lbf force accordingly. Just archive it in these sites when its' a website page so we're not force to hunt for the bite source again.
Lol, I didn't mean to say/imply to put the archived versions of the pages on the page. I meant to put the original links themselves.alright
Proposals looks fine to me.
Has this been applied yet?Thank you for helping out.
They can probably be applied then.
I've halted most of my efforts in IRL to work on composite human in Joke Battles & other things until around December 1. But if you want me to apply some of the changes on this thread eventually this month, ok. You're the admin.Has this been applied yet?
Okay, hold the eff up here! I noticed that the Bison's article said that it can handle bulls, but the article it linked literally had nothing to do with bison: https://historybanter.com/animal-cage-fighting-in-mexico/
It's an article that went into detail about how certain fights between lions, bears, and bulls went.
Ant, when do you want you request to redo stuff with the Goat to be posted here? 3 or 7 days?What has been accepted here can probably be applied now, yes.
Since you've requested to improve stuff on the goat's tier, I'll copy-paste my findings and suggested changes.I think that you can begin to work on improving our goat profile page if you wish, if that is what you wish.
The problem here is that goats and sheep already have a hard time fending off their predators.That's the thing. Unlike creatures such as pigs and cattle, creatures such as goats and bighorn sheep are actually designed to charge into things head-on. The example of a goat knocking a cattle out is a showing of them being Street Level as, as shown in the video, the goat ran into the cow as one would expect from the charge. I don't think an animal that straight-up concussed a cow should be downgraded (never mind one that is already pathetic in the KE department compared to, again, pigs).
DarlingAurora has originally shown by example that if an animal has more consistently shown a tier different than the tier of their regular charges, it’s permissible to move that said animal into that tier. This has been shown in her contributions in the American Black Bear, Wild Boar, and Domestic Pig, which are capable of using charges as a method of attack in-character.
Would it be more consistent to move black bears back to 9-B territory? Wild Boars back into their KE tier? Domestic Pigs to be 9-C when they're not really consistently there?Now that I think of it, if they were 9-C, some of them should be capable of fending off 10-A predators with some success. The suggested tiers are more consistent, albeit a concession on the Goat's skull AP.
bumping for this post ^^^The problem here is that goats and sheep already have a hard time fending off their predators.
Their regular AP and durability feats hasn't really shown to go above 10-A; is a goat even strong enough to fend off a 9-C predator? Nevermind the fact that domestic goats and sheep aren't really as strong as their wild counterparts.
Plus, I think these details flew over your head vvv
Would it be more consistent to move black bears back to 9-B territory? Wild Boars back into their KE tier? Domestic Pigs to be 9-C when they're not really consistently there?
I'll make a correction that she may have not done stuff to the domestic pig, still, the examples still remain from her contributions.
So do we need more input, or should this change be applied? vvvH3 makes sense to me above.

Newsflash, DarlingAurora has stated that she may return to IRL in January. The big thing that's stopping her from comming back is that she doesn't understand the new concepts. So I'll be prioritizing making standards for doing stuff in the IRL verse on-site.
In the meantime, I'll link dump suggested changes related to fairly trending animal pages in the "Real World" category so DarlingAurora can actually see good examples of what's changed. (As of typing this post, the T. Rex, Lion, Grizzly Bear and Tiger are trending, so I'll link dump stuff related to the aforementioned pages)
- Grizzly Bears are only surprised from a horse kick to the ribs, can swipe a horse hard enough to knock it to the ground
- Horses like Old Grey Rex can get back up after taking a Grizzly swipe to the muzzle faster than the grizzly could in Rex’s circumstance (While there’s a chance that the witnesses didn’t see any cuts, this feat is a notable display of blunt force durability). Was able to wound the Grizzly Bear.
- As for how good of a durability feat this is, this feat has quite the vagueness despite circumstances suggesting that the horse could have taken little to no damage from the horse swipe. So at most 9-C+ for the horse is fine since there's also an argument to me made about the observers of the fight being unable/report to see any notable damage on the horse during the feat.
- Grizzly Biology & Behavior - Western Wildlife Outreach (enhanced senses; eyesight, hearing & smell
- Leopard
- Better LS statement: “Leopards are incredibly strong and capable of taking prey much heavier than themselves. Such prey included antelopes.”
- Better support for the lion and leopard's LS rating
- American Black Bear | VS Battles Wiki | Fandom (Since Cattle & will be 9-C+ in AP & durability by calcs from the former. Asiatic Bear can withstand hits from the Tiger, who can smash cattle skulls. The 9-C+ rating is surprisingly going to be fine)
- This is here to actually fix the Tiger's divored 9-C+ rating.
- Durability support: (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/scie...-fossils-show-how-dinosaurs-fought-180981443/)
- Ankylosaurus (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsbl.2022.0404)
- AP: (Can harm other Ankylosauruses and break their armor in sparring bouts)
- Dura: (Its armored body makes it almost immune to attack from most dinosaurs and protected against strikes from its kind in sparring bouts. Can be hit by other ankylosaurus and only have a third of their osteoderm’s tops be broken off of their armor)
- Speed: 3 mph
- LS: Superhuman (while heavier and bigger than even the largest of crocodiles, its overall low body agility made it unable to lift as much as them)
- Triceratops
- AP: (Can fight and harm other Triceratops); (better replacement for the scan that the dino didn't charge at objects full speed)
- LS: same (Has sufficient speed and strength to be stronger than the strongest living crocodile)
- Dura: (While they can pierce each other’s frills, their bodies should be capable of withstanding the raw strength of them pushing each other. Can oppose the strength of a T. Rex)
- T. Rex
- Durability: (Should be physically comparable with other dinosaurs of similar strength like Triceratops and Ankylosaurus. Their strength and durability should be proportionally upscale from crocodiles like the nile. Their bones can be merely dented by bites from each other even when they're clearly shown to bite into each other's flesh easily)
- LS: Class 5 (while heavier and bigger than even the largest of crocodiles, its overall lower speed made it unable to lift as much as them)
- Nile Crocodile
- Durability: on par with their AP (Can withstand blunt attacks from other physically comparable animals like lions)
Also, I've found quite the reaction time feats and statements that we can scale to IRL animals. Which I'll link later.
Also, permission to apply these calcs?
(Checked/Evaluated: Beluga Whale KE (AP section), Black Bear (Survival injury feat evaluated (stamina section), not AP feat (which is unconfirmed to be evaluated)), Cattle KE (AP section), Gray Wolf LS (At least athletic human to peak human in LS) (LS section), Komodo Dragon KE (AP section), Orca KE (AP section), Sheep KE (AP section), Tiger leaps +12 inches into the air (LS section))
If Lioness returns to Street level+ then male Jaguar will toobumpity yeet.

It's ok, the other source seems too high for me The problem with this is that you need to scale the own arm length for Female Gorilla too, not just halving the strength of the male one, that it's just for adolecent ones because Female Gorilla have an very different structure than male ones.Aight so I'm back for more suggestions.
Gorilla AP
So about more than a week ago, I found a source that suggested that a Gorilla can exert 450 kgf, I calced it and it yielded 4855.1453269 joules (9-C, Street level).
The 1550 newtons isn't that false after all. There exists an study where it comes close with an bite force of 1872.0 Newtons.Alligator Snapping Turtle bite force recalc
I'll give an explaination as to why I did a recalc. DarlingAurora's original calc hadn't estimated the jaw height that was near the beak tip of the alligator snapping turtle. The 1550 newton value for its bite force on a Wikipedia article about the alligator snapping turtle is actually false and the actual bite force is 158 newtons for a specimen that is 0.38821 kg. Another source suggests that its bite force is 1000 lbf. The energy yield is 1154.8267522 joules (9-C, Street level).
I'm pretty sure that is four times stronger than the average human, not male only.Orangutan AP
So because it says that a mature orangutan is more than 4x stronger than the male human, it should be 9-C, Street level (358.068929 joules).
If we can use this would've great, because with this we can also scale the strength of female animals, but not sure what staff think about it.Gigantopithecus AP
So scaling the Gigantopithecus from an orangutan as they're both related.
Weight: 200 - 300 kg (average is 250 kg)
Orangutan weight: 75 kg
(250/75)*358.068929=1193.56309667 joules (9-C, Street level)
I don't think Anaconda can constrict an fully-grown Jaguar, because I only see source of them doing it to young jaguars or female ones, I didn't see any source of an matured male Jaguar getting constricted by an Anaconda.Anaconda AP
Its gonna have to just be downgraded to just 9-C, Street level as it can constrict Jaguars.
What do you mean.If Lioness returns to Street level+ then male Jaguar will too
They can constrict camians of similar strength to alligators/crocs and Jaguars have short term stamina as far as I know. This statement can contradict the class 5 LS justification on its profile (i.e. scaling to Alligators of similar size).I don't think Anaconda can constrict an fully-grown Jaguar, because I only see source of them doing it to young jaguars or female ones, I didn't see any source of an matured male Jaguar getting constricted by an Anaconda.
Jaguar downscales from Lioness due to being the same size and being very much robust, it's on their profile.What do you mean.
Aren't the most of these this caiman? I see Anaconda crushing 6ft caimans and Yellow Anacondas struggling with adult yacare caimans tho.They can constrict camians of similar strength to alligators/crocs and Jaguars have short term stamina as far as I know. This statement can contradict the class 5 LS justification on its profile (i.e. scaling to Alligators of similar size).
The availability heruistic is a mental short cut humans make based on the availability of "X" information in their memory. That would be like downgrading Capybaras to 10-C based only off the fact they can crush flies.Aren't the most of these this caiman? I see Anaconda crushing 6ft caimans and Yellow Anacondas struggling with adult yacare caimans tho.
Capybara have sources of biting off humans flesh, have an strong bite, can survive to many jaguar paws and crocodrile attacks while with Anaconda don't have any source of killing Black Caimans, they can crush yacare caiman and are capable off easily killing young jaguars.The availability heruistic is a mental short cut humans make based on the availability of "X" information in their memory. That would be like downgrading Capybaras to 10-C based only off the fact they can crush flies.
American Alligator on its profile.What I mean is how they are Street level+ without any calc?
I don't get how this takes away from my point that the initial claim was based on a mental shortcut that may be false.Capybara have sources of biting off humans flesh, have an strong bite, can survive to many jaguar paws and crocodrile attacks while with Anaconda don't have any source of killing Black Caimans, they can crush yacare caiman and are capable off easily killing young jaguars.
It says that adults black caiman doesn't have any predator, that is because they are so robust anf thick. Anacondas only takes in smaller specimens of this species, but not on fully-grown ones.
The problem is that doesn't exist an profile of Black Caiman but it does of Yacare Caiman, that maybe causes confusion. Anyways, I think that due to own pressure Green Anaconda should've just Street level, without the +.Downgrade seems promising tho since a sufficiently strong animal can injure the anaconda even under constriction. I was initially trying to find a way to make the scaling chain for the anaconda make sense lol.
Which claim? I'm a bit confused here.I don't get how this takes away from my point that the initial claim was based on a mental shortcut that may be false.
So, you mean that Anaconda crushing caimans are probably false? I mean there are footage of Yellow Anaconda struggling with constricting Caiman for 40 minutes. Do you mean that?If a guy only saw capybaras crush flies and only knows that, and assumes they're only capable of doing that, that's an example of availability herustic. If anything, this point in this reply proves my point.
Here says that these are historical record and that their weight are less well studied, though reportedly range from 30 to 80 kg (66 to 176 lb) in a typical adult.Green Anacondas are up to 250 kg. And the caimans you've provided are an example like the strength gap of a fly and capybara to anacondas and yacere caiman.
What I mean is that there no source of Green Anaconda even hunting an Black Caiman, seems exaggerated because their maximum weight is 80 kg, they can't constrict an Caiman four-times their size when they struggle with smaller specimens from the same species.Is the point you've countered representative of Capys' strength? What about using what's effectively a smaller animal to disprove "X" animal's strength? See what I mean?
Lol, someone's acting like they're missing the point.Which claim? I'm a bit confused here.
Right in your face. In from of this claim vvvThe availability heruistic is a mental short cut humans make based on the availability of "X" information in their memory.
to the claim of this vvvThey can constrict camians of similar strength to alligators/crocs and Jaguars have short term stamina as far as I know. This statement can contradict the class 5 LS justification on its profile (i.e. scaling to Alligators of similar size).
Aren't the most of these this caiman? I see Anaconda crushing 6ft caimans and Yellow Anacondas struggling with adult yacare caimans tho.
The assumption on the mass divisions does have some basis. There's still a couple of factors like the evolutionary differences and size differences.If we can use this would've great, because with this we can also scale the strength of female animals, but not sure what staff think about it.
If we use the new value that I get:
We still have the source that they can fight big cats as H3 says, but still being more than 13 times stronger than human is pretty much impressive IMO.
- Calc: (250/75)*297.46193308 = 991.539776933 Joules or Street level.
I'm not acting, I just didn't understand..Lol, someone's acting like they're missing the point.
Oki.The initial conclusion of my points don't really line up for average Anacondas.
Looks like the defacto scaling chain is fixed. Not to mention that defacto power scaling in IRL is technically allowed as long as its in the realm of realisticness and sheer raw power first. Besides, I thought they could overpower Black Caimans on average.
Also, many Anaconda attack in ambush.. Black Caiman crushes large anaconda size and they reaching even 100 kg is pretty much rare:I think that the average weight should be replaced. However, them scaling to Jaguars and Caimans relies on the fact that only particularly large anacondas can prey on them. Not to mention that they only prey on animals up to 50% of its body mass at most normally.
True & good point, it depends on robustness and skeleton-structure.The assumption on the mass divisions does have some basis. There's still a couple of factors like the evolutionary differences and size differences.
I'll mention that animals can be more stronger pound-by-pound; Leopards can weigh as half as a human and still be stronger than them on average. So this method isn't 100% reliable with these circumstances and if the mass division doesn't factor in other factors in strength, which I'll get to eventually.
Sure, and most of the prey they eat can be up to half of their mass. And their standard tactics are ambushing. Since IRL profiles are supposed to be a general species, that heaviest verified specimen should be separated from their general strength.Also, many Anaconda attack in ambush.. Black Caiman crushes large anaconda size and they reaching even 100 kg is pretty much rare:
On average they are more than the half the size of an Pantanal Jaguar.
Yup.Sure, and most of the prey they eat can be up to half of their mass. And their standard tactics are ambushing. Since IRL profiles are supposed to be a general species, that heaviest verified specimen should be separated from their general strength.
Speaking of which, half of the species' normal confirmed weight is up to 80 kg, and half of that is 40 kg. Jaguars are 56-96 kg in most regions so they should be stronger than Green Anacondas normally. The strongest anacondas normally scale to Jaguars weaker than their typical weights, so I don't know how we should tier anacondas normally at the moment, aside from the strongest of them scaling way above the weakest Jaguars.
Their blows and feats are more consistantly 9-C and are weaker than Tigers, so no.Yup.
Also an question, does Lion/Lioness will get back to Street level+ or not? Cause it would've affect some profiles tho.
Okay, so if Lioness are back to Street level, should American Black Bear go back to Street level without the +? I think their tier was based on that and we can't give it without an calc..Their blows and feats are more consistantly 9-C and are weaker than Tigers, so no.
I'm planning to try to bump them back to 9-C+ via the cattle's durability calc.Okay, so if Lioness are back to Street level, should American Black Bear go back to Street level without the +? I think their tier was based on that and we can't give it without an calc..
Same for American Alligator
I do have an idea on how to tier normal weight anacondas, just needs feed back though.I'm not acting, I just didn't understand..
Oki.
