An alligator would beat a Komodo dragon in a fight. The crushing power of an alligator's bite is too much for the smaller, lighter Komodo dragon to compete against. The alligator would probably wait for a Komodo dragon to come to the water's edge before striking.
A crocodile would win a fight against a Komodo dragon. Crocodiles are simply too large and too powerful for a Komodo dragon to fight back against. One likely outcome would be the crocodile waiting for the Komodo dragon in the water and dragging it beneath the waves to suffer a brutal death.
A tiger would win a fight against a Komodo dragon. An ambush by the tiger would instantly end a fight against a Komodo dragon, and the tiger would just as easily win a battle without the element of surprise.
Its venom (sepsis) would be useless against a crocodile, because it can't bite through the croc's thick scales. If it can bite the croc on the snout or legs, it might incapacitate the croc. Even so, the much bigger croc would still probably kill the dragon.
A Komodo dragon would win a fight against a king cobra.
Both creatures are ambush predators, but the king cobra must rely on its venom to kill its enemy before it is attacked and killed.
An adult anaconda would win a fight against a Komodo dragon. The Komodo dragon is a highly capable fighter, but it would not be able to deal fatal damage to the anaconda before it was grabbed and crushed. Anacondas can successfully attack crocodiles, creatures that can kill faster than a Komodo dragon.
A lion would win a fight against a Komodo dragon. Lions are larger and heavier and have something that the Komodo dragon lacks: the ability to kill their enemy with a single blow.
Big cats like leopards and panthers sometimes kill and eat these big reptiles. Large snakes can also do a lot of damage to alligators and crocodiles. There are countless videos showing snakes wrapped around gators and crocodiles.
A bear would beat a Komodo dragon in a fight, but it might get bloody. The problem that Komodo dragons face is that they are very short compared to a bear. For example, if a Komodo dragon approached a grizzly bear, the bear would stand on its legs to appear bigger and scare it away.
A silverback gorilla is much too powerful for a Komodo dragon to fend off. A gorilla would beat a Komodo dragon in a fight. Many people believe that Komodo dragons are venomous. While that is true in a sense, they don't have a venom that will paralyze and knock out their prey.
Answer and Explanation: Due to their very large size, full grown adult Komodo dragons do not have natural predators. However, Komodo dragons are known to be cannibalistic, meaning they have been known to kill and eat each other.
What Eats It? Adults are top predators but juvenile dragons are preyed upon by adult dragons, feral dogs, wild boars, civet cats and snakes. Komodo dragons are solitary animal except during breeding although groups of dragons may gather to feed at a kill.
There is a slim chance of it happening, but a crocodile could fatally attack a tiger swimming in its territory. Tiger cubs are much more at risk of being taken down by a predator, with hyenas, crocodiles, and snakes all targeting these juveniles due to their smaller size and lack of experience in hunting and combat.
There aren't many animals that can survive a Komodo attack. A human and another Komodo are pretty much the only ones. This endangered animal, down to about 4,000 in the wild, is at the top of the food chain in its habitat [source: Honolulu Zoo].
Crocodiles are too large and strong for bears to overcome. A fully grown saltwater crocodile would win a fight against the largest bears. Size matters in these fights and crocodiles have that advantage. Bears are undoubtedly strong, but they've never faced anything like a crocodile to know their weaknesses.
If there is one animal that could bring down a full-grown hippo in a fight, it is an adult elephant. Elephants have the size and strength advantage over the hippo, and their tusks give them superior reach. Match that with a roaring charge and there is nothing that will not stop one!
If the fight were to happen on land, a rhino might have the upper hand against a saltwater croc because it is more used to living on land. However, if a fight started close to the water or in the water directly, the crocodile would likely defeat the rhino.
The Asian water monitor (Varanus salvator) is second-biggest lizard in the world after Komodo dragon, and also the longest lizard in the world.
A great white shark would win a fight against a saltwater crocodile. These deadly creatures are incredibly powerful, but the great white shark has an amazing advantage in the water. Not only would this animal probably notice the crocodile first, but it also has the speed to land a devastating attack.
Komodo dragons eat almost any kind of meat, scavenging for carcasses or stalking animals that range in size from small rodents to large water buffalo. Young feed primarily on small lizards and insects, as well as snakes and birds.
A Komodo dragon would win a fight against a honey badger. Although honey badgers have a lot of endurance and tenacity, the fact is that they cannot deal fatal damage to the large lizard.
Advantages: The komodo dragon has bacteria that could kill animals in a few hours, so if the hyena gets bitten it will die. It also has a strong tail that could trip the hyena and then kill the hyena. The komodo could ram the Hyena and break its Bones. A Spotted Hyena Weights around 63-69 kg.
Komodo dragons seem large to humans, but they're tiny compared with elephants. No contest at all — elephant stomps the poor dragon to smithereens.
