    A lemming. You know, the creatures with the green hair and blue jumpers?

    Bash through the Alps, set the release rate at 99 and let them overwhelm the country. Then we set a blocker by the tunnel they went through and press the Armageddon button.

    The button or date stone beetle. The males might not be up to the job but the females are ruthless killers.
    When a flying unfertilized female reaches a target such as a date stone, sweet almond, betel nut, nutmeg, cinnamon bark[3] or a button made from vegetable ivory, hence the name "button beetle"), she bores a hole in it and excavates a chamber. (Males cannot penetrate the stone.[2]) Inside, she produces a brood of four or five males. She mates with the first son that reaches maturity, then proceeds to eat them all. She then enlarges the chamber and lays a brood of about 70 offspring. Some of the females mate with their brothers.[4][5]

    Baring in mind the animals strength, intelligence, adaptiveness, etc?

    Hmm strength, intelligence and adaptiveness? Well I suppose Gorilla would be the best option. They're strong, smart for an animal and can learn to adapt as well. If I were swiss, the last animal i'd want to see attacking the government would be a Gorilla

    A wide range of animals gave been chosen. We may be in a position to select two species. To test which animals will suit us best a trial will be done by attacking Trim in Meath. As a security issue I think it us best not to post the precise details here. Any suggestions on how to plan this without the TDC coping on are welcome.

    The Swiss don't actually have a government per se, most democracy is devolved to local cantons. So it is actually rather difficult to overthrow the government of Switzerland whatever animal you choose.

    But I choose a .................. WOMBAT!

    Have you conducted an experiment to prove said theory?

    a hippo wouldn't be able to find a space hopper that could support it's weight and touch the ground too

    a giraffe would be able to straddle a hopper that could support it's weight
    whether it would need stirrups or could use all it's legs to hang on might need a bit of looking into
