You put up a good fight, but you lost, and the predator is closing in to snack on you.

What species would you most feel satisfied being eaten by?
 
Wolverine. Hopefully, it clawed at my femoral artery and I bled out. It stashes me away and feasts on me when needed.
 
Marbled cat would be satisfying - I'd die happy knowing I had seen some and I was helping to feed them :p
 
Good question. All of those deaths are painful. Just so I am clear, I fought the animal and lost? If I died of natural causes, I wouldn't mind my body being placed on some rocks up a mountain for wild animals to eat (as is Zoroastrian custom).
 
Not sure if it is painful..... People who have been attacted by for example lions and survaived it, mention that they didn't feel pain ( must be the adrenaline ? ). Even so, I'm still not prepeared to die, so ask later ;)
 
none I prefer to think of myself as the ultimate predator. Call me a sociopath but I would actually think it would be kinda cool to say I shot the last of a particular sub-species.
 
if you've seen the movie the Hunter with Willem Dafoe (its on Netflix) that would be how I would feel about it the way he feels at the end of the movie. The feeling would like I said feel kinda cool in the moment but would probably be melancholy. To know that the very last one at least was treated with respect and put down humanely by a professional instead of the unimaginable horrors that had met its brethren (the reasons why it was the last one) by others who lacked the respect for nature. But you know I have problems putting down a sick animal. Its simply a thought experiment like the original question. After all while contemplating the question in the original post its what came over my mind. The thought of dying by another animal is a scary one. But be it a Lion, a Bear, or a Croc the animal is simply acting on instinct doing what nature programmed it to do as a predator. So I got to thinking about how us humans really are powerful as the top predator (based on total destruction) this planet has seen and we have no respect for/control of our own predatory power.

So the animal I would think it would be scariest to be killed by would definitely be Homo Sapiens.

Because say if a Bear killed me it would be for food/I disturbed its territory. If a fellow human decides to kill me it could be for any reason or even worse absolutely no reason. That truly is a frighting thought to contemplate.
 
I would imagine being killed by a chimpanzee can be even worse then, as there are also lots of examples that they can very carefully plan attacks on rivals in such ways it cannot be called instinct.

Are you a collector from the 19th Century who has stepped through a time portal? Do all the bright lights and strange noises baffle you? I'm afraid to say we have run out of passenger pigeons ;)

Cool to look down the barrel and pull the trigger at the last Mountain Gorilla, the last Black Rhino, the last ..... in my book, nar its not, not now, not then, not ever.


So when the time comes, which will be soon, that we as a World are down to our final Northern White Rhino, you would like to kill it?

I think that I am quite content to stay as I am; I don't think I am alone in having been snacked upon by several creatures already. I have provided light suppers for quite a few mosquitoes, the occasional lunch for tsetse flies (not recommended) and been nibbled by rather more ants than I can count.
If it had to happen again, I would choose something very small and toothless which is not a disease vector - possibly a tiny, tiny leech :)

Thylacine, definitely. Well, none, actually. But if it had to be one, I wouldn't mind me dying in a hospital after a battle for my life with a painless new disease, which I lost, and a Thylacine randomly jumping through the window and feeding on my remains, thus giving proper evidence that the species still lives.:p

And sorry FBBird, but I'm good;)
