We all know the Tiger vs Lion discussions, done _ad nauseum_, both here & on other various other Boards. Here’s a new take. The [Red Kneed Tarantula](http://www.artshole.co.uk/arts/artists/Elaine%20Gaffney/Red-Kneed-Tarantula.jpg) vs [A Hedgehog](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Igel01.jpg). Tarantulas have a nasty bite, & sometimes eat small mammals, although the Hedgehog is likely too large for it’s usual tastes. Hedgehogs eat insects & spider. Tartantulas are larger than it likes as well, and it has less offensive power than the spider, but a far stronger defence in its spikes. Who wins? ---
