Hey everyone

This was my favourite TV show until it finished.
But I personally diagreed with most of the fight outcomes....

On second thought I'm unsure if I should discuss it, to avoid spoiling it for others.

Though I was hoping to see who zoochat members think will win against in fights. Put forward matches and like the show discuss animals weapons and weaknesses.

cheers
 
Lion v tiger!!
Lion: Weapons, Claws+Teeth!! Defence: Mane
Tiger: Weapons, Claws+Teeth Defence: Size

leopard v chimp
Leopard: Weapons, Claws +Teeth Defence:Speed
Chimp: Weapons, what ever it can find :O, strong arms, big canines Defence: CLimbing
 
great, well the lion and the tiger match was actually put into the series. The main technique that the tiger would try to use would be the neck bite, and I tell you the mane does come in handy.

The leopard and chimp? I personally think the chimp has no chance against the leopard, its faster, got those sharp claws and teeth and it is an excellent climber, the chimp I think lacks the brute strength to try to repel the leopard, if it were one on one my personal vote has to go to the leopard.
 
Here is a list of the 'fights' in the series:
Saltwater Crocodile vs Great White Shark
African Elephant vs White Rhinoceros
Asiatic Lion vs Bengal Tiger
Nile Hippopotamus vs Bull Shark
Cougar vs Grey Wolf
Polar Bear vs Walrus
African Lion vs Nile Crocodile
Siberian Tiger vs Brown Bear
American Alligator vs American Black Bear
African Leopard vs Western Lowland Gorilla
Jaguar vs Anaconda

Here are some of my Ideas:
African Leopard vs Spotted Hyena
Asiatic Lion vs Indian Rhino
Malayan Sun Bear vs Bornean Clouded Leopard
Musk Ox vs Arctic Wolf
Jaguar vs Spectacled Bear
Yak vs Snow Leopard
 
The last match was between the Giant squid and a Sperm Whale.

Great matches Haz_cat

Leopard vs Hyena. Hyena have incredible bite force nearly 1000 pounds of force (occurding to Brady Barr) and they are usually pack scavengers and not even close to the fighting experince of the leopard who has to do all the work alone. Plus the leopard had those deadly claws.

Asiatic Rhino vs Rhino I'm not sure if the lions range is around the rhinos. ( correct me if I'm wrong) This somewhat looks like a no brainer to me. The Rhino although has poor eyesight just has the power and will stab and gore until the threat is over.
Yet in a match up between and African Lion and White Lion, the discovery channel's website states that the lion would win 6 times out of ten !!!!!????

Sun bear and clouded Leopard, is a nice match up both are in small stature. Though I would think the leopard has the edge of experince knowing how to kills, whilst the sun bear is a very docile creature. The Sun bear however has those very long claws and a mouth full of sharp teeth. The leopard though also being faster, which would also enable it to come in various angles.

The Musk Ox and artic wolf....
well I'm not an expert in these animals, but if the wolf was by itself it would be very near impossible for it to bring down an ox without a pack, though I'm unsure if the ox has the ability to kill the wolf. being that the wolf could easily retreat.

Leopard and Spectacled bear
well I think this would again come down to experince. The leopard being a veteran predator. Though I think since the bear is bigger it could deflect the on coming pounces of the leopard, much like in the fight between the brown bear and Siberian Tiger.

Yak Vs Snow leopard.

Snow leopards have been known to kill Yaks. Though are usually too big for them to tackle. If the yak was attacked by a leopard it could thrust its horns deep into the leopard. Though the snow leopard being much faster could easily dodge and retreat.
Unsure on this one,
 
I say yeti, it is regarded as more vicious plus it has those claws. Unfortunately it gets eaten by Tibetan dragons.
 
How about a Panda and a South China Tiger? This is probably very very very unlikely in the wild as the range is very far apart but in previous decades it may have been very very possible.

The Panda has those strong teeth and claws as well as its bulk. But it is docile eating bamboo all day.
The Tiger is smaller but it fast and has experince in how to kill.

please discuss.
