The two species most often reported to prey upon rhinos – usually young ones – are lions in Africa and tigers in Asia. However, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs and Nile crocodiles are also known to kill African rhino calves on occasion. By far, though, people are rhinos' #1 enemy.
In the wild, the adult black or white rhino has no predators except for humans. Rhinos are hunted and killed for their horns.
Chances aren't a part of this fight. The rhino wins by default, there is no way that the gorilla is going to win.
The large teeth of the hippo are stronger than the rhino's horn, but the skin of the rhino is tougher than the skin of a hippo.
Some people say the rhino would triumph because of its larger size, vicious horn, and faster speed. However the hippo has more advantages, that include its enormous mouth that can deliver a massive bite force with its ivory tusks.
A rhino can run at up to 50 km/h. With this considerable speed and agility the rhino would be able to strike first with it's incredibly sharp horn of solid keratins. The elephant would struggle to recover from a direct hit, particularly if the rhino managed to penetrate it's under belly. So, we would be bet on rhino!
Though rhinos are mighty, a single adult tiger can kill a rhino.
A rhino would win a fight against a grizzly bear.
Grizzly bears are tough animals. They're also far more aggressive than the average solitary rhino. In a fight to the death, though, the rhino would clearly recognize that the grizzly is a threat that needs to be frightened off or eliminated.
Elephants and rhinos are the animals most likely to kill lions.
The semi-bulletproof nature of crocodiles and other large animals, such as elephants and rhinos, gave rise to the 'elephant gun' in the late 1800s – this was a very heavy-duty weapon specifically designed for killing big game.
Lions and rhinos
Lions are also the natural predators of rhinoceroses, even though they rarely attack adults. Some weak, injured and old rhino adults have reportedly been killed by the felines, but rhino calves are the main targets.
Animals with no natural predators are called apex predators, because they sit at the top (or apex) of the food chain. The list is indefinite, but it includes lions, grizzly bears, crocodiles, giant constrictor snakes, wolves, sharks, electric eels, giant jellyfish, killer whales, polar bears, and arguably, humans.
Poaching. Poaching, driven by consumer demand for rhino horn primarily in Asia, poses the biggest threat to rhinos.
The hands down hardest creature is a tardigrade, also known as a waterbear. Less than 1.5mm long, they can dehydrate their bodies to just 1 per cent of their normal water content. Without water, most chemical reactions happen too slowly to harm them and ice crystals can't rupture their cells.
The absolute unbeatable beast who took home the title for best fighter: the elephant. With a 74% win rate, it just eked out a win over the rhinoceros, who also received a 74% win rate. (Just a few extra tenths of a percent gave the elephant the top spot.)
Although a silverback gorilla is very fast, quite strong, and has a longer arm span, it is unlikely that a silverback could defeat the much larger and faster grizzly bear in a fair fight. The one advantage that a Silverback might have is in the enormous strength of its muscles.
A hippo would win a fight against a polar bear.
Instead, the hippo needs one or two bites to incapacitate the polar bear. Its massive teeth would penetrate the bear's fur and skin, breaking bones and ripping into organs. In this rare case, speed on land would only matter at the beginning of the fight.
Being close to the bear means being close to the mouth full of gnashing teeth and at least five claws ready to tear the gorilla apart with one swipe. With the bear's massive body, superior muscle, surprising speed and evolutionary armory, there really isn't any way a gorilla wins the fight.
The two species most often reported to prey upon rhinos – usually young ones – are lions in Africa and tigers in Asia. However, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs and Nile crocodiles are also known to kill African rhino calves on occasion. By far, though, people are rhinos' #1 enemy.
Spider-Verse
The Earth-001 Rhino is killed by the Superior Spider-Man, the Assassin Spider-Man, and Spider Punk.
Elephants, especially bears, are among the large animals that tigers are terrified of. To escape from them, tigers frequently climb trees. A crocodile's razor-sharp jaw might even kill a tiger.
