Imo, the ladder goes:

Rest of the terrestrial animal kingdom < Bengal Tigers < Polar Bears < Hippos < Rhinos < Elephants < Honey Badger.

That’s as far as the ratio of animal capability to fuck something up divided by willingness to kick something else’s ass goes.

I actually think the Tiger and the Polar Bear are fairly close in terms of power and lethality, and it would all come down to whether the Tiger had the opportunity to stalk, which it probably would avoid doing anyways to something the size of a Polar Bear.

I still do not know where Honey Badger rightfully belongs on Earth’s tourney ladders, so I rather err on the side of caution there in case one reads this.
