The filters/constraints just simply make it at best a very long answer that can be easily negated by more predators. What the question needs to do is establish Herd Prey Stampeding / Defending is acceptable or not. Prey that can outrun the Predator is acceptable or not. But most importantly the Predator needs to have constraints or has been pointed out we might just as well reference the encyclopedia of every animal that has ever existed. | |

| Jun 2, 2017 at 16:26 | comment | added | sphennings | @apaul34208 "Minimum mass needed to crush any animal", is asking for the lowest mass that will work for all animals, not a list of the lowest masses that will work for each animal. | |
| Jun 2, 2017 at 16:14 | comment | added | apaul | @sphennings I'm thinking that you would still have to specify an animal that needed crushing. Expecting a list of animals and the required mass for crushing, would be expecting a bit much. | |
| Jun 2, 2017 at 16:09 | comment | added | apaul | @sphennings I see what you did there... | |
| Jun 2, 2017 at 16:03 | comment | added | sphennings | "What is the minimum mass needed to crush any animal?" is a perfect question for this site. | |
| Jun 2, 2017 at 16:01 | comment | added | apaul | @sphennings it would still be incredibly broad | |
| Jun 2, 2017 at 15:57 | comment | added | sphennings | Setting an upper bound on the minimum number of dogs to kill an animal would fit with the hard science tag of the question. | |
| Jun 2, 2017 at 15:56 | comment | added | apaul | @sphennings I was very tempted to post a hyperbolic answer, but I was pretty sure that it wouldn't be very "helpful" | |
| Jun 2, 2017 at 15:52 | comment | added | sphennings | It wouldn't take a infinite number of dogs. A mole of dogs would be roughly the same mass as the Earth. | |
| Jun 2, 2017 at 15:51 | comment | added | Bellerophon | Depends on the number in the pack. I also suspect, assuming a decent number of dogs, it is shorter than you think. | |
| Jun 2, 2017 at 15:45 | comment | added | apaul | @Bellerophon There's still an incredibly long list of potential answers... | |
| Jun 2, 2017 at 15:44 | comment | added | Bellerophon | I feel if the number of dogs were specified then it would be fine. | |
