1) Bulls are aggressive animals........

2) Four ears can be explained as well. In fact, Phantom made a post defending them, but I can't seem to find it. Basically, if I remember correctly, either add another route to the Auditory Receptors on the 'human' set of ears or add another set of Auditory receptors....

3) True, evolution may have provided Adam with a means of supporting those horns (ie Neck Muscles), but look at his neck and shoulders. Adam isn't a broad guy, he isn't the White Fang Lieutenant with a neck the size of your average manhole cover. ....

4) I know size doesn't mean weight, but horns are keratin with a solid bone core. They aren't hollow or paper-mache, they're solidly built. That may not mean they're insanely heavy; they wouldn't need to be. He has to support those things all day, constantly fighting gravity. It's not easy, so evolution, as I mentioned before, turned the horns upward.

-If you're not RT, that means you can give better answers. (Seriously, they say barely more than evasives and non-answers).

1) Different kinds of aggressive. Bulls are easily enraged, and when they get mad they get seriously mad. That's different from Adam being racist and wanting to kill humanity for faunus supremacy. Adam applying "domination" over Blake could be a comparatively-better link...though that trait isn't exclusive to "aggressive male animals". And with animals, it's a different case of domination most of the time.

2) Evolution doesn't make redundant, unnecesary traits. It either adds necesary traits or changes/improves existing traits. So in this case, Faunus would not have 2 human ears and 2 animal ears. They would have only 1 pair, either animal or human, which would have far better hearing capabilty than normal ears.

As for what trait I would associate with a bull...not a nose ring, that's not bull-exclusive. IMO, it would be J-like horns that point towards the front of the person. Or maybe cut bull horns, kinda like Hellboy.

3) And yet we get Ruby lifting casually a very damn heavy sniper-scythe and casually no-selling the damage it's recoil would cause to her, and Coco goes a similar route with a minigun. My point: Build doesn't mean anything in this show. Especially when Aura is at hand.

4) Instead of adapting the faunus's bodies so that they were strong enough to withstand their weight? I find it unlikely. Otherwise, the bulls we have in Real Life would have taken the same route.
