forget about fighting like cats and dogs
in the wild world of the animal kingdom
beefs between different species get way
more vicious welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top ten savage animal rivalries
too bad for him
the much smarter elephant anticipated is
charge and thrust before we begin we
publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
animal species that from a human
perspective at least appear to have a
seriously dysfunctional relationship
with one another we’re taking into
account the degree to which these animal
pairings share environments compete over
food resources and of course the
severity of their physical altercations
the competition is fierce and the stakes
are high all’s fair in love war and the
animal kingdom
number 10 crocodile vs. anaconda what
happens when you take two of the largest
reptiles in the world and place them in
the same habitat to compete for prey you
get one vicious cold-blooded Feud this
particular bout exemplifies the relative
advantages and weaknesses of each
creature the crocodile has one of the
strongest bite forces in the world one
well-placed chomp and even the largest
snake is in trouble but the Anaconda
with its bone crushing ability to
constrict can literally squeeze the life
out of the competition anacondas are
perfect killing machine they have heat
sensors YouTube has made this rivalry
extremely popular but the creatures
featured in many videos are in fact
alligators and other types of snakes
like pythons so let’s just drop the
semantics when serpents and crocodilia
tango things get messy
number nine honeybee versus Asian giant
Hornet sure a battle between giant
reptile sounds like a big ticket event
but the rivalry between Asian honeybees
and Asian giant Hornets is some real
nuanced art of war level stuff these
giant Hornets are nearly 2 inches in
length and boast a quarter inch stinger
they steal young larvae of honeybees to
feed their own offspring dark right an
invading Hornets hard outer shell is
impenetrable to bee stings
making it a juggernaut of carnage
beheading honey bees as it tears through
the hive
it’s a real david-and-goliath dynamic
but when you can’t stab them cook them
in a fascinating move Japanese honeybees
have learned to band together to engulf
the Hornet and vibrate so furiously that
they literally cook it alive number 8
elephant versus rhinoceros they’re big
they’re gray and they know how to throw
their weight around we’re talking about
elephants and rhinos these two creatures
share an environment and for the most
part it’s a peaceful coexistence but if
either feels threatened they can react
defensively with extreme aggression
especially when young ones are around
but the biggest factor hormones when
male elephants enter there must period
their testosterone can reach up to 60
times the normal level they go into
hormonal berserker rage male elephants
are likely to attack anything during
this time but rhinos are just about the
only species that will fight back in
2000 a wayward pack of adolescent male
elephants killed an estimated 36 rhinos
number 7 killer whale versus great white
shark the next stop on our savage animal
rivalry world tour the deep blue sea the
great white shark is considered an apex
predator the top of its food chain
they’ve been known to attack not only
humans but boats too
by contrast we generally think of Wales
as peaceful giants and for the most part
they are but the killer whale made
famous by SeaWorld and the Free Willy
film franchise has more than earned its
lethal name Willy’s a Toolroom right so
will it kill us killer whales are
ruthlessly efficient when hunting seals
and penguins and they aren’t afraid to
challenge the king of the ocean either
in fact orcas are the only natural
predators of great white sharks
competition over prey or a chance
encounter can be enough to trigger a
deadly contest for oceanic supremacy
number 6
polar bear versus walrus speaking of
apex predators the polar bear is a
pretty serious hunter the most
carnivorous of all bear species its prey
primarily consists of seals but like any
great hunter the polar bear sometimes
finds itself tempted by big game and in
the Arctic there’s no prey more massive
than the walrus only the largest polar
bears will target walruses and such
attacks are on the young or injured but
an attack on calves often attracts the
attention of a bull resulting in an epic
clash of claws and tusks adult male
walruses weigh up to forty four hundred
pounds more than double the average
polar bear either the bear kills the
walrus or it backs down often having
suffered life-threatening stab wounds
number five Mongoose vs. Cobra all right
anaconda versus crocodile is anyone’s
fight but surely when put up against a
fuzzy warm blooded mammal a cobra will
win every time well apparently not
the Mongoose may only be 1 to 2 feet in
length but it is fierce agile smart and
unlikely to back down according to one
Greek historian they were even known to
steal crocodile eggs cobras on the other
hand are extremely venomous snakes which
up against any other mammal that size
would consider their opponent an easy
meal but the Mongoose has an ace up its
furry sleeve a resistance to snake venom
its prey vs. predator and while it can
go either way the odds generally favor
the Mongoose number 4
versus crocodile crocodiles did they get
along with anyone dry plain dusty field
nice to get out of the swamp
what a crock when not fighting anacondas
crocodiles are known to trade blows with
their fellow River dweller the
hippopotamus and while these large
herbivores may look exceedingly lazy
content to spend their days bathing they
can be downright vicious when they need
to be they might give off a goofy
approachable vibe but attempting to hug
a hippo is extremely ill-advised hippo
calves are attempting snack to large
predators which include lions hyenas and
of course crocodiles but the ferocity
and aggression of hippo Bulls make them
a risky target in fact crocodiles are
often viciously relocated or even killed
by these giant vegetarians simply
forgetting to close that classic hippo
yawn it’s a sign of aggression
number three lion vs. hyena so how did
the other African predators keep busy
while the hippos and Crocs are duking it
out working out a rivalry of their very
own of course
as the lion king taught us unless the
line in question is a power-hungry
conniving outcast with a pension for
fratricide lions and hyenas do not get
along human since the dawn of time
hyenas have been competing with the king
of the jungle for prey both are known to
steal from one another
going so far as to target each other’s
young while lions are bigger and
stronger hyena packs bring strength in
numbers with overwhelming results
competition over food can lead to
full-blown Royal Rumbles between hyenas
and a lion pride number two dolphin vs.
shark few animals inspire fear like
sharks sure their aggression has been
exaggerated in popular media but they
really do attack by contrast dolphins
are treated like the jesters of the sea
harmless friendly frolicking clowns well
it turns out they aren’t so innocent
either dolphins have historically saved
humans from sharks but they’ve also
recently been observed attacking humans
and legend and a beeper puces to death
for fun
so maybe don’t underestimate them
dolphins work as a pack attacking the
shark from all sides they use their
rounded noses to ram the shark striking
the Sharks soft underbelly one serious
shark bite can end a dolphin so that’s
not usually the case while pods of
dolphins have killed a large shark on
more than one occasion before we unveil
our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions first blood is to the
termites number one grizzly bear versus
wolf
admittedly bears and wolves have little
reason to fight the woods are big enough
for the both of them and they don’t
really compete over prey but both are
willing to scavenge and aren’t above
getting scrappy over a carcass on rarer
occasions wolves have been seen
attempting to catch a bear cub one on
one a wolf doesn’t stand a chance
against a grizzly bear
a grizzly typically weighs in four times
heavier than any wolf and a single
well-placed swipe of its paw can cause
massive internal damage but wolves
usually travel in packs and using their
speed and agility they can coordinate
their strikes to send a grizzly packin
