Wild Animal Fights

            Honey Badger                   vs             Ocelot
       12" tall, 30" long, 35 lbs               18" tall, 40" long, 40 lbs
 

Here we have a very interesting fight between the legendary Honey Badger of Africa and the Ocelot the small jungle cat of Central and South America.

The Honey Badger, despite its name, biologically is more closely related to a Wolverine than badger species. Like the Wolverine, the ratel is notorious for its ferocity and fearless nature, even being able to scare lions and leopards away from their kills. Ratels do not discriminate when feeding, it will hunt and eat birds, rodents, tortoises, lizards and large snakes. They devour all parts of their prey, including skin, hair, feathers, flesh and bones, holding their food down with their forepaws.

The Ocelot acts very much like a small jaguar. It is the largest of the small Leopardus cat genus. Despite its size, it will take down prey as large as deer. Ocelots are also ferociously territorial and will fight one another, sometimes to the death, to defend its territory.

When pitted against each other, I feel the Ocelot would first engage the Ratel as it may look like a potential prey. The ratel, is known to scream loudly when it is backed into a corner, which would temporarily push back the cat. Once settled down, the Ocelot would pounce on the badger and bite down on its neck. However, the ratel has a secret defense, its skin is very thick and very loose, which allows it to turn all the way back at its attacker and clamp down on its throat with is powerful jaws.

Honey Badger wins!

          Hippo                     vs              Rhino

Up to 14 ft and 8000 lbs            Up to 13.5 ft and 7500 lbs

Big match up between african heavy weights! This fight has been requested hundreds of times since the dawn of this website. This fight could happen in the wild as their habitats do overlap.

The hippo is a massive and ferocious animal. It spends about 75% of its time submerged in water, but despite this fact, hippos are surprisingly graceful on land and have been clocked at 19 mph over short distances.

Hippos are naturally aggressive and routinely attack other animals, such as crocodiles, in its habitat. A hippo's mouth can open to 4 feet and wields tusks that are nearly 3 ft long!

The White Rhino is equally as massive and aggressive as the hippo and possesses a towering horn that can grow up to 5 ft! Rhinos have a tough, thick hide that helps prevent injuries. Amazingly at this size, rhinos can charge at bursts of up to 40/mph.

Conclusion:

Obviously in the water the rhino has no chance but since there is no reason that the rhino would be in the water this fight takes place on land. I know there are many hippo supporters out there but I just dont see any circumstances where the hippo would be able to get around the Rhino's defenses. The two beasts would size each other up for a while before the rhino would gore the hippo from under its mouth and straight through its head.

Rhino wins!

Siberian Tiger                   vs                     Grizzly Bear

Sorry for the long delay in posts...

This is by far the most requested fight in WAFC history and features arguably the two most lethal big predators on the planet.

The Siberian Tiger is the largest Big Cat on Earth, growing up to 11 ft long and up to 850 lbs. It preys on huge animals such as deer, boar, and Elk. Siberian Tigers have even been known to prey on Brown bear species in Asia. Although this cat is big it still has incredible quickness. It's preferred method of killing is, like most big cats, a bite to the throat of its victim. 

The Grizzly Bear has incredible strength, as mentioned in previous fights on WAFC. It also has a size advantage,growing up to and beyond 1000lbs. The largest Grizzlies can stand up to 8 ft tall. 

Its tough for me to choose a victor here out of two of my favorite predators. I think the fight would go pretty quick once the two beasts got into it.

The tiger would most likely be first to act trying to pounce at the Bear's throat. The Bear could counter with a downward swat, as it is known to do, that could crush the cat's skull. 

However I think more often than not the Tiger would win this fight. With its size and speed, the momentum of a dash and pounce would be enough to knock the bear backwards before a blow to the neck kills it.

TIGER WINS!

                         Jaguar              vs              Leopard

Recently this has been the most requested wild animal fight. This is most likey due to the fact that these animals share such a close resemblance to each other. The two animals can be distinguished by their rosettes: the rosettes on a jaguar's coat are larger, fewer in number, usually darker, and have thicker lines and small spots in the middle that the leopard lacks. Leopards are usually longer, while the Jaguar is stockier. Jaguars also have rounder heads and shorter, stockier limbs compared to leopards.

The Leopard is an agile predator that lives in sub-Saharan Africa. It can ambush large prey such as Eland but mostly dines on smaller prey items like baboons. Their killing style is similiar to other large cats usually looking to attack the throat of its victims. Leopards are adept at climbing trees, although not as much so as the Jaguar.

The Jaguar is the apex predator of South America. It lives in and out of the Jungle and kills prey weighing up to 800lbs. Pound for Pound the Jaguar is the strongest of all the Big Cats. It can drag prey many times its weight into trees to eat. They have developed jaws that are much stronger than the other big cats and employ a unique killing technique, it bites directly through the skull of prey between the ears to deliver a fatal blow to the brain.

Although the Leopard is a formidable opponent, the Jaguar is just too strong and will win this fight everytime!

              Wolverine          fights            Baboon

Interesting animal fight between two very different animals of similiar size from different ends of the world.

The Wolverine is the largest of the weasle family but resembles and acts like a small Bear. It is stocky muscular and ferocious. Male Wolverines can weigh up to 70 lbs and reach a length of 3 ft. The Wolverine has been known to attack prey many times its size. 

Olive Baboons can be as tall as 4 ft and weight close to 65 lbs. When provoked, hungry or defending their young they can be extremely aggressive. Baboons hunt smaller prey on normal conditions, but they are strong, quick, and nasty. The Baboon's canine teeth grow as long as 2.5 inches (longer than a Lion's).

The Baboon is bigger and much more agile. However, the Wolverine does not lose many confrontations and has been witnessed scaring off Wolves and even Bears from their kill. In this fight its relentless attacking will be a huge factor and it will eventually tear into the monkey

Wolverine wins.

There have been many requests for more Lion fights. Lets see if the "King" can win this one.

An adult male Lion can grow to be 10 ft long and weigh over 500 lbs. Lions primarily prey on large animals such as Wildebeasts and Water Buffalo, however hunting is usually done in a pack. Lions have more stamina than most large cats and usually kills its prey with a targeted bite at or near the throat and then holding on until its victim dies. The lion's mane provides protection for its own neck.

American Black Bears are on average smaller and less aggressive than Grizzlies. They can reach a length of 7 ft and weight of 750 lbs. These animals are incredible strong and have been known to become enraged killing beasts when hungry or provoked.

This is one of the most evenly matched fights on this site. The lion's speed may help it to get an early advantage in this fight. However, a full sized black bear's superior strength will help it prevail in this fight. In short, as the lion attempts to get inside on the bear to deliver a fatal bite, the black bear will swat lion down with a crushing blow before pouncing on the lion to finish the job.

Black Bear Wins

A great suggestion from many readers, this fight pits two of the coolest animals on Earth in battle.

The American alligator normally grows up to 12-15 ft and weigh over 1000 lbs. The Alligator has been known to take down prey as large as a Black Bear. It has the strongest bite force of any animal on Earth and is the apex predator of its habitat.

The biggest Komodo Dragons can grow up to 12 ft and weigh in at 250 lbs. Found only in remote islands of Indonesia, the dragon takes down prey up to 10 times its size, including water buffalo. The Komodo Dragon has no fear of any animal and its saliva contains a deadly mix of bacteria.

This animal fight might well come down to who gets the first bite. If the gator were able to get a clean shot at the dragon, it could snap it in half. However, it says here that the Komodo Dragon will get the first bite 9 out of 10 times, on land or in the water, letting its "venom" kill the alligator and then devouring every bit of it.

Komodo Dragon Wins

This is a classic. Bull vs Bear has been the most requested fight since this blog began. I guess it makes sense with the state of the stock market and all. Here we go..

The bovine bull is an extremely aggressive animal. If provoked it will fight until death. El Toro Bravo, as it is known in Spanish Bull Fighting, can weigh close to a ton and can reach a top speed of 40 mph. It is supremely strong, with tight muscle all over its body. The bull will attack relentlessly and can protect its body well.

The Grizzly Bear is one of the top competitors so far in Wild Animal Fight Club. Undoubtedly one of the most revered predators on Earth, the bear attacks and kills large animals such as Elk. This fight will be a good test of its strength and fighting ability.

This fight gets of to a fast start as the bull will immediately go into defense mode when encountered with the grizzly bear. Each animal would charge directly at each other, with the bull getting the best of the head on collision. With the bear down, the bull starts to continually "buck" into it. The grizzly is able to get up and try to mount another attack but it is tired and wounded from being pounded on by the bull.

In closer to the bull, the bear raises up and attempts to give the cow a crushing blow to the head. However, as the bear stands tall it is left vulnerable to the quick charging bull who crashes into the bear's chest stabbing it with its horns.

Bull Wins!

            Tiger Facts                         Silverback Facts

    Up to 10.5 ft and 650 lbs            Up to 6ft and 600lbs

Another fight that is garnering a ton of suggestions has been the matchup between a Tiger vs Gorilla. This is an extremely interesting battle due to the unique qualities of each animal.

Although primarily a vegetarian, the Gorilla is equipped with 2 inch canine teeth and one of the strongest bite forces on the planet. Silverbacks have enough arm strength to flip a family sized sedan. 

The Siberian Tiger is the largest of all the big cats on the planet. It routinely attacks and kills large predators such as Asiatic Black Bears as prey. This Tiger is an extremely impressive animal which has no natural predators.

If a Silverback Gorilla were to ever be pitted against a Siberian Tiger, both animals would be cautious in making the first move. The Gorilla would try to stand as large as possible, pound its chest, and yell as loud as it could in order to try and scare off the Tiger.This plan would backfire and insight the cautious tiger into attacking. The huge cat would pounce straight for the Ape's throat. With the Gorilla caught off guard the Tiger is able to avoid the Gorilla's powerful arms and get inside. The Gorilla ferociously tries to bite at the Tiger, but its too late. The Tiger sticks its four inch canine teeth through the neck of the Gorilla and the fight is over.

Tiger Wins! 

    Great White Shark Facts                Killer Whale Facts

    Up To 22 ft, 5,000 lbs               Up to 32 ft, 12,000 lbs

This fight has been suggested by a ton of visitors. Its a battle between the two baddest animals in the Ocean.

The Great White Shark is the largest predatory fish on the planet and one of my all time favorite animals. This beast can swim up to 15 mph. It can breach the water completely The great white shark typical attacks and hunts seals and sea lions but will also gorge on whale carcasses when available.

The Orca is the largest type of Dolphin and one of the World's most powerful predators. Orcas became known as Killer Whales because they are Whale Killers. In addition to feasting on seals, sea lions, and large fish, Orcas actively hunt gray whales that can be as large as 45 ft and 35 tons.

The reason for writing about this fight is that it was an extremely popular suggestion. However, there really is no fight here. As much as I love the Great White Shark it wouldn't have a chance of besting an Orca in a fight. The whale is too big, too fast, and too strong for even the biggest of White Sharks. In fact Orca's have been known to kill and eat Great White Sharks.

Orca Wins!
