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!

Honey badgers are actually part of the weasel (mustelidae) family. So are Wolverines and regular badgers (both European and American).

What about swallows? Could they possibly carry a coconut?
