"Speed and egg bonus"
- Anonymous (responded Ostrich)
This is my favorite response because it sounds so confident, yet is so vague. I MUST know what egg bonus is. -

"I have a 100% rational fear of birds based on two facts:
- Birds are
dinosaurs.
- Birds are trying to kill me.
Though they have backed off on the assassination attempts. I attribute the relaxed stance to the fact that I have started feeding and housing them in recent years. I still don't trust them. Shifty little buggers."

"An ostrich is like a dinosaur. It is strong and fast and has a history of being ridden in some parts of the world. While an alligator has a burst of speed, it is likely to roll and simply attack the rider. The Ostrich also makes an intimidating noise when threatened. I am all in on a Battle Ostrich."

"Alligator. It can chomp the Ostrich's legs and I'll feel like a weird surfing warrior."

"Head in the sand stuff. Works for some but I do prefer the less manual labor option of letting the alligator do all the work. Battle
would be over faster than you can say stiff necked chicken on stilts."

Folks, here's the comment you've all be waiting for, from the reply GOAT himself:
"I used to work at this Marketing Automation
startup. It was a small outfit at the time. I was employee #51 I think.
Employee number #49 though, let's call her Abigail, she lived on a farm. This farm had donkeys, chickens, and an ostrich. I constantly heard stories about this ostrich. It preferred specific people and actively hated others. So much so that they would try to sneak behind trees (ridiculous I know)
and try to peck at them while they were working next to the ostrich's pen.
Side note, Abigail gave me an ostrich egg once. Your mind can't comprehend how big an ostrich egg is until you put it into the fridge next to a chicken egg. There's something about having to move shelving around to accommodate such a large bird's egg that really puts it all into
perspective.
Anyways, I was curious and did some research for this question.
- Their kick is powerful enough to kick a lion.
- They don't actually bury their heads, they instinctively lay their heads flat on the ground to stay hidden. How that works for them with their big giant bird
bodies attached is beyond me. I think they're just so patently dumb that they actually think they're good at hiding
- They can run around 50 km/h (About 31 mph in freedom units) for up to 30 minutes at a time
So, for all those reasons, and the fact that an alligator will NEVER be able to have a preference for one human over the other, I'm going team ostrich, full stop."
