How about an adolescent kangaroo?

    I mean, it’s got a shell, and turles/tortoises can still bite pretty bad without teeth, consider the snapping turtle.

      A turtle is a good idea.

      A shell is a great defense against a biting predator, but not great against a thinking / tool-using predator.

        To be fair, since it was specified that one must fight the animal with one’s bare hands, tool use is probably cheating here

          Bare hands doesn’t necessarily mean “only punches”. You can’t pick up a rock if there’s one on the ground? To me “with your bare hands” means going into the fight without preparation, with your hands empty originally. No guns, no swords, no rocket artillery. Like, you were out for a hike and a ________ attacked you.

        Not to mention siege warfare as an option…

          Yes, my favorite bare handed tactic is using a trebuchet

            I’m just saying you could probably starve them out, but a trebuchet could be fun too. I won’t report you…

            I’ll allow it, because trebuchets are great.
