Mongoose vs Cobra
These two animals have been sworn enemies since they’ve ever met. The cape cobra is an expert in quickness, intimidation and delivering a knockout bite with its powerful venom. The mongoose is extremely skilled in agility, speed and is immune to certain amounts of venom. They are both known for eating each other so fierce battles to stay alive are common occurrences between the two. The cobra will first tries to intimidate the mongoose by raising its hood. Result: Stalemate.
Although it’s a common belief that mongooses easily win the fight due to its fearless and slight immunity to snake venom. They will often give up in a fight if severely bitten and don’t want to push the limits with their immunity. The mongoose will most commonly win if the snake can’t move quickly enough. The snake will win usually if it delivers the first blow.Python vs Alligator
Most commonly in the Florida everglades, these two feared creatures battle for resources and for who’s going to be the apex predator of the swamp. It appears as if the alligator would have the advantage with its large, powerful jaws. Pythons however, kill their prey by another method. They use constriction in order to suffocate the enemy. When the two meet, an intense staredown takes place. Who will come out victorious in this battle? Result: Python. The burmese python has reached apex predator status in the Florida. The ability to strangle its prey to death, serves as a big advantage. While being able to severely slow down the heart rate of the alligator and from time to time it’s able to eat it while it’s still alive. Although it may struggle occasionally, the gator is in a death grip he cannot escape from. The feeding process can take up to hours and leaves the constrictor somewhat vulnerable to attacks from other predators.Tarantula vs Pepsis Wasp
Bugs can have epic battles as well. Spiders are known for eating insects and tarantulas aren’t your average spider. It’s opponent however is the well feared 2 inch Pepsis Wasp, who always goes by the nickname, “the Spider Hawk” and is the official state insect of New Mexico. Anyone who’s actually been stung by one of these will tell you the pain is short lived but excruciatingly painful, only second to that of the bullet ant. So who wins here? Despite the tarantula’s size advantage, it’s no match for the Pepsis Wasp. The sting is basically enough to paralyze the large spider. It really doesn’t get its nickname as the spider hawk for nothing. Once it’s stung, the female lays eggs inside the abdomen for the larvae to have nutritious meal when they hatch.Water Buffalo vs Rhino
Both of these large herbivores have horns for protection. However the Rhino is much larger with a longer horn. Neither of these animals will usually attack unless provoked. The horns on the water buffalo are much more curved the the Rhino’s and but can certainly provide a fatal blow to humans. Is it possible a water buffalo could over power the Rhino for an upset victory? Result: The Rhino’s brute strength and sharp singular horn, he’s an absolute blowout winner. The water buffalo might act tough but he should really just get out of the way immediately. The rhino can easily impale the water buffalo with its horn. They may not fight to the death, if the that’s what the rhino decides.Shark vs Octopus
Sharks are known to be apex predators, with their long rows are sharp teeth and their hunting instincts. They almost seem completely invincible in the ocean. Could there possibly be something else out there that could eat one? Giant pacific octopuses are commonly attacked by sharks. They are armed with 8 arms and covered with 280 powerful suction cups. The female pacific octopus can weigh about 150 pounds. Should be an easy meal for a shark right? Result: Giant octopus wins. Hopefully you didn’t have money on this one. Workers at the Seattle aquarium began to notice their, dogfish, or small breed of sharks were popping up dead from time to time. Giant Pacifics are carnivores and can shred flesh with their sharp beaks which are normally hidden. They prefer to hunt at night and use their excellent vision to help them catch their food.
