Because of both animals' features, the fight would be a pretty close call, but the saltwater crocodile would eventually win. Some of the rhino's advantages in this fight are its thick skin and hard horn, which are not enough to take on a croc as strong as a saltie.
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.
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.
If the fight takes place in an open area, then the rhino would likely win due to its greater speed and agility. However, if the fight takes place in water, then the hippo would likely have the advantage due to its greater strength and jaw power.
Hippos can reach speeds of 30mph! And in a race with a rhino, it would depend on the rhino, a couch potato rhino would probably lose to a hippo, but a well-trained athlete rhino would win. Rhinos have been recorded at speeds of 34mph, so just a tad faster than hippos.
Regarding size, strength, and agility, the gorilla is undoubtedly the larger of the two creatures. However, the rhino's horn can be a devastating weapon against any animal – including a gorilla.
A rhino can gore an adult lion with its horn. Lions are known to selectively prey on the black rhinoceros — and those that are most selective are generally the lions that live the longest.
Both animals can attack with brute force, have incredible stamina and are equally intelligent – which is perhaps why they don't typically fight! The elephant would use its tusks and feet to attack but the rhino would possibly have the upper hand. A rhino can run at up to 50 km/h.
In an elephant vs hippo fight, the elephant is going to win. Assuming both creatures are fully grown adults, the elephant is just too big for the hippo to handle. Hippos are too smart to pick a fight with an elephant, so they have no idea what it takes to bring one down.
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.
While tigers have impressive predatory skills and powerful bites and claws, they may struggle to take down a rhino because of its size and defensive capabilities. Rhinos have thick skin and a massive horn that they can use to fend off predators, making them a formidable opponent for any predator.
The most significant difference between a grizzly bear and a rhinoceros is size. Grizzly bears can weigh 900 pounds, while rhinos can weigh up to 8,000 pounds! So through sheer force alone, the rhino could easily defeat a grizzly bear.
There is a miniscule chance that a larger white rhino could graze the stomach of a T-rex. But the rhino, although very aggressive , is still an herbivore. Therefore, if I had to choose, the ultimate hunting machine would have a monumental advantage. The T-Rex wins.
A dung beetle is not only the world's strongest insect but also the strongest animal on the planet compared to body weight. They can pull 1,141 times their own body weight. This is the equivalent of an average person pulling six double-decker buses full of people.
The strongest land animal in the world is the elephant. The typical Asian elephant has 100,000 muscles and tendons arranged along the length of the trunk, enabling it to lift almost 800 pounds. The gorilla, the strongest as well as largest primate on the planet, is at least six times stronger than the average human.
An elephant would win in a fight against a gorilla. Gorillas are certainly powerful and smart animals, but they lack any definitive means of killing an elephant. Unless they happened upon an elephant lying down and managed to inflict severe bites to them, a gorilla simply would not stand a chance.
Lions have few predators to fear other than humans. A very young or sickly lion might fall prey to hyenas. Cubs may be attacked and eaten by adult male lions. Lions are most threatened by humans who hunt them and encroach on their habitat.
Tiger Predators: Crocodile
Crocodiles have enough jaw power to kill a tiger with one bite. A crocodile can eat a tiger if given the opportunity.
Honey badgers are small, but aren't afraid to take on larger animals. Honey badgers are often called the fiercest animal on the planet.
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.
Aside from humans, lions are the only predators powerful enough to kill an elephant. The males, being 50% heavier than the females, are especially suited to the task. It typically takes seven lionesses to kill an elephant, but just two males could do the same. Even a single male can overpower a young elephant.
A Siberian tiger would win a fight against a lion.
Simply put, Siberian tigers are larger and more powerful than lions. Even though the two have many bodily attributes that are similar to each other, the tiger has more power behind their attacks and a better chance of ambushing the lion.
