Gotta go with N.Am. There's a whole country chock-full of hockey-crazed Canucks. Plus polar bears. And I think grizzlies, too.
What does S.Am have to compare? Fußball and pretty birds. Oh, and jaguars. Those are macho. But I think polar bears out-macho them.

Ok, I'm gonna go with South America cuz .... I have gone to the Amazon. They have fish that can eat a cow, and spiders the size of your fist. Gotta agree... And I had a college gal-pal from Costa Rica who had a spider as big as a dinner plate! Called him Pancho... Cheesh! and I am NOT a fan of spiders... LOL! In order to get close to her, I had to think of "Pancho" as a kitten with 8 legs...
That sorta worked until I'd notice his 3/4" fangs... But, Pancho, the "spider from my worst nightmare " was indeed, as friendly as a kitten. I even got to where I could pick him up, tickle his tummy and give him a "nose-nose"... A VERY furry little booger he was... I have NO idea how she got the beast into the country. She always had Pancho on her shoulder with a gold chain pinned to her blouse, and I suppose nobody suspected he was REAL. Who knows? Side note: When he'd finally move around on her blouse, it would give us instant access to the front of ANY line we were waiting in... LOLOLOL!
But he WAS definitely macho...
Here's a pic off the net of one of Pancho's relatives... about a 2-pounder... HeHeHe...
And I gave that creature a "nose-nose"... CHEESH! What WAS I thinking? I guess an 18 year old chopper-jockey in love just DOESN'T think... duh...
Ride safe, and stay macho...

Pancho and me... what a pair!
The little lady who adored him assured me she'd NEVER heard of one biting anyone. She was a missionary deep in the jungles of Costa Rica, and said most everyone had one or two of these spiders for pets. "They're very loyal and loving..."
I guess THAT far off the grid, puppies and such may have been more in demand as menu-items than as pets... EEEWWW!
Spiders DO tend to creep me out, but THIS one was SO big that I learned to think of him as "something else"... Not sure just WHAT... Like maybe the 8-legged giant gerbil from the land time forgot... And he WAS indeed as friendly as could be. He'd even roll over on his back to have his tummy rubbed. If I could only ignore those monster fangs... And, he looked MUCH more adorable riding on the petite gal's shoulder, with a cute gold chain around his ample "neck", pinned to her blouse.
I recall asking "What if it BITES me?" She confidently replied "They DON'T bite." "But what if he DOES bite me?" "They DON'T bite. And if he DID, it won't kill you..." "Ah... but what if he DOES bite, and it DOES kill me?" "They don't bite. And if he DOES bite, and it KILLS you, I'll just pray and raise you from the dead."
OOOH KAYYY... "Are you SURE you can raise me from the dead?" "Yes." "Ah... have you done THAT before?" "Yes. All the time... And they DON'T bite."
OOOH KAYYY... Come here Pancho, gimmie a nose-nose... Then we'll all go fer a ride on "Old Blue"... Sure was fun being young...
Ride on...
Leo
