They weigh over 3000 pounds, have 2 inch thick armor-like skin and are highly aggressive. They have no predators and coexist among equally fearsome animals like crocodiles, lions and hyenas. Hippos are one of the deadliest animals on earth and account for more human fatalities than any other animal, not including disease carrying insects.

Whoever said lions are ‘king of the jungle’ didn’t take into account elephants. If the lion is successful in getting to the rear of the elephant, the lion can claw and bite the elephant, although it would be in vain, as the elephant’s thick skin provides ample protection for it to to fling the lion off and trample or gore it. It can not attack from the front, as the trunk and tusk of the elephant would surely dismantle the lion. To attack an elephant the lion would need to get at the rear of the elephant. While a lion is a formidable opponent in most respects, is not an efficient killing machine without its pack. It’s even more abysmal when you consider that lions are pack hunters and rely on their numbers to take down prey.
#RHINOCEROS VS ELEPHANT FULL#
When it comes to a battle with a healthy and full sized elephant, a lion has an abysmal chance. They have razor sharp claws and daggers for teeth and can bite down on prey with a force of over 650 pounds per inch. They weigh over 500 pounds, can reach speeds of 50mph and leap up to 36 feet. Lions are the apex predator and have little to worry about when it comes to being preyed upon. Apparently a crocodile made the dubious mistake of biting an elephant.Ī crocodile has absolutely no chance against a elephant. There have even been stories of hunters finding full grown crocodiles 20ft above ground in a tree. If the crocodile did manage to bite the elephant, it would probably be on the trunk and while the crocodile would try in vain to drag the elephant into the water, the elephant would overpower the crocodile and drag it on land, where it would either toss it aside or impale it with its tusks. In water the crocodile might have a slightly better chance, as it can maneuver better and put itself in a better position to attack the elephant. The elephant would merely stomp on the crocodile and it would be game over. On land, crocodiles are slow and maneuverability would be an issue. The size discrepancy is too extreme and the the crocodile would have a hard time mounting any offense. When it comes to a battle with an elephant, the crocodile will get decimated pretty easily. They are known to tackle large prey like wildebeest, zebra and gaur. They have incredibly tough skin, which protects them from attack and they have the strongest bite force of any animal. They can weigh over 2000 pounds and can get over 17ft in length. Any animal in this list is going to have a very hard time dealing with all those tools, but lets get to the battles!Ĭrocodiles have been around for millions of years and are the ultimate survivors. Elephants have the complete package when it comes to being able to dominate almost every animal on earth: they have size, strength, armor like skin, weapons galore and intelligence.
