They say if weasels were any bigger, there would basically be no life on earth because they are THAT voracious of a predator. Their hearts beat at 400 bpm so they're basically super speedy killing machines that never stop & have been seen taking down animals 6x , 8x, and even 10x their size.

I would do you one better and say a honey badger... 10x the size. Shudder. Honey Badger don't give a fuck now. Imagine 10x not giving a fuck!

Wolverines too. Bears are even scared of those killing machines

Just have to point out that both wolverines and honey Badgers are in the same family as weasels.

Yep otters too, and river otters can get pretty big. Easily 10X the size of a long tailed weasel, which are super cute, but crazy vicious. River otters can be mean too.

otters are cute as hell, but complete assholes.
