Praying Mantis Picks A Fight With Giant Bulldozer Proving That The 'Napoleon Complex' Is Real And It's Absolutely Hilarious (Video & Pictures)

Who are the loudest, most aggressive dogs? Chihuahuas. Everyone who knows chihuahuas knows that they have a Napoleon complex, always trying to take on dogs bigger than them, even when it's obvious that they will lose. We always thought it was limited to chihuahuas and really short guys, but apparently, it extends also to praying mantises! In this hilarious animal video, we see a praying mantis trying to swat away a giant bulldozer that must be thousands of times bigger than it is.

What's even funnier is that the mantis doesn't back down at all! The bulldozer tries to gently nudge him off the roof, or scare him without actually touching him, but nothing can deter this tiny mantis. We haven't seen something quite so absurd in a long time, and we spend our days looking for absurd animal memes on the internet! This is a video you have to see for yourself, so scroll down already and get ready to laugh at this overly-brave praying mantis!

We're proud of this bulldozer operator, he could have not cared about this little guy defending his territory at all, but he tried to negotiate with it. Unfortunately, there's no negotiating with short men with Napoleon complexes. It's conquering the world, or sulking in their basement.

We do have to applaud this praying mantis's bravery. Not that it really understands the concept of bravery, but if we were facing a giant metal monster thousands of times our size, we're not sure we would have the courage to stand our ground.
