Big-ish species like American alligators and mugger crocodiles might try to attack the bear, but could easily tire fighting such formidable prey, and might let it go before the fight was over. If the bear is large enough (and not tired out), it might try to flip the croc and slash its belly.

The brutal collection of images show the alligator in its most lethal state as it rips apart the bobcat – normally around twice the size of a domestic cat. Alligators’ diet consists mainly of fish and birds but they’ve been known to attack deer, dogs, Florida panthers and black bears if they hungry enough.

In the water, a large gator can ably defend itself, and probably force the grizzly to give it some space. However, on land the grizzly has the decisively advantage-not only much larger than the alligator, but far more agile on land and intelligent.

Juveniles: Small alligators are eaten by a variety of predators including raccoons, otters, wading birds, and fish; however, larger alligators may be their most significant predator. Adults: Cannibalism, intraspecific fighting, and hunting by humans are probably the most significant mortality factors.

The encounter between a Hippo vs Crocodile is interesting. A hippo or crocodile will attack the calf if it is too far away from an adult but not an adult hippo. And the reason is simple; An adult hippo will kill a crocodile.

Crocodiles mouth is wide enough to deliver a fatal bite with massive bite force of all animal kingdom to the head of the lion rendering it defenseless. Even if a croc gets a proper grip, it can drown a lion and then perform the death-roll, which not only shatters the bones, but tears the muscles apart.

Bite Force Relative to Size Saltwater crocodiles have the strongest bite out of all the crocodiles. The bull shark, meanwhile, has the strongest bite of all sharks.

If a small shark swims by an alligator and the alligator feels like it can take the shark down, it will, but we also reviewed some old stories about larger sharks eating smaller alligators. Despite the freshwater and saltwater differences, it’s fairly common for sharks and rays to share the water with alligators.

Depending on the type, adult crocs range from 40 pounds to 2370 pounds. A gorilla could kill the 40 pounder but would be destroyed by the 2370 pounder.

Unlikely. A Large Male Saltwater Crocodile at it’s peak size and age would average 5 meters long and weigh around 600kgs, much beyond the average prey size for a Male Jaguar. It also has the strongest bite force of any living creature today, biting down at a pressure of nearly 2 and a half metric tonnes.

Yes! A full-grown and skilled jaguar can take any crocodile. It does not matter what their species is. Even if it’s a Nile crocodile or a black cayman, they can kill it as long as the head of the crocodile fits their mouth.
