And you have to face one of the following in combat in its native environment:
Nile Crocodile
Tiger
Polar bear
Kodiak bear
Komodo Dragon
Jaguar
Lion
Hyena pack of 3
Gray Wolf pack of 3
King Cobra
Anaconda
Burmese Python
This will be a fight to the death. You cannot scare them off or run away. When I say native environment, I mean you fight the crocodile on a riverbank, the Anaconda in a muddy swamp, the polar bear on a snowy plain, etc. Bear in mind not only your probability of victory in the encounter, but how painful it will be if you lose.

Komodo dragon. 1. They're the smallest of the choices, except the king cobra. 2. They're not normally aggressive to humans. 3. They're primarily scavengers, so they rarely go after live prey. 4. They don't normally sustain an attack, instead they go in for a quick bite to poison their prey and wait until they die of infection. 5. Their poison is slow acting taking hours or days to incapacitate or kill, which means I can continue to fight back if bitten. 6. There are a lot of low-ish trees on the Island of Komodo, which I could climb to escape since adults can't follow. Then I could jump down on its back and bash its head in.
