00:00 [Sounds of predators eating]
00:07 Predators are known for their viciousness and willingness to brutally kill and consume
00:12 other animals.
00:14 Their digestive system is incapable of extracting enough nutrients from plant material.
00:19 Hence, they get their nutrients from the flesh of their prey, consisting primarily of herbivores.
00:27 This might seem violent, and it is.
00:29 But you should not villainize carnivores, as they play a crucial role in their ecosystem.
00:37 That role is to keep the population of herbivores in check.
00:41 What happens when a predator intrudes on another predator's territory?
00:46 What lengths will a predator go to to protect its meal from the competition?
00:51 All your questions will be answered as we have compiled a list of the 15 most brutal
00:56 fighting moments between savage predators.
01:00 [Sounds of predators eating]
01:05 Number 15.
01:07 Lions vs Predators In this clip, a lone leopard's life is in
01:12 danger.
01:13 A pride of young lions chases the distraught leopard up a tree.
01:16 Leopards are great climbers, and the frightened animal feels safe until a lion begins to climb
01:22 after it.
01:23 The leopard jumps down, and it is immediately surrounded by blood-hungry beasts.
01:28 The victim lies on its back with claws bare, ready to cut any cat that comes close enough.
01:34 The lions were dauntless about the leopard's defenses.
01:38 It is lights out for the victim as one of the lions clamps down on its throat.
01:42 A big male lion wrestles with a crocodile, biting and chewing on the croc's body.
01:48 The lion carefully avoids its victim's jaws while focusing its attacks behind the crocodile's
01:55 head.
01:56 Three lionesses are also on the scene, hesitant to join the battle.
02:00 After a while, the lion stops attacking the rugged crocodile.
02:05 The abused croc starts to leave the scene, but the big lion drags it back by its tail.
02:10 Indeed, this crocodile will think twice before going back to land again.
02:15 Hyenas are tricksters, often relying on scavenging and stealing other predators' kills.
02:21 Due to their nature, they are deeply hated by lions.
02:25 In this clip, a pride of lions chases and pins a hyena to the ground.
02:30 The pride surrounds the helpless animal, and they take turns biting at it, almost as if
02:35 they all want to get out a piece of their anger.
02:38 The hyena's fate is definitely sealed.
02:41 Number 14.
02:44 Crocodiles vs Predators Life in the savanna is challenging, with
02:48 predators lurking around every corner.
02:50 Here, a lion swims across a river.
02:53 A crocodile stalks the lion, waiting for the perfect chance to strike.
02:58 The aquatic predator launches at the lion, dragging it down into the water for a couple
03:03 of seconds.
03:04 Luckily for the lion, the crocodile fails to latch onto the body of its target.
03:08 The lion swims back to the water's surface and hastily creates distance between the croc
03:14 and itself.
03:15 In this clip, a crocodile bites down on a smaller crocodile.
03:20 As a species, crocodiles are predators that consume almost every animal they encounter.
03:25 The ravenous croc is determined to get itself a meal, even if it's through cannibalism.
03:31 The aggressor ensures that its prey is hurt and immobilized by chomping hard at the victim's
03:37 spine.
03:38 It's looking grim for the juvenile crocodile as it is dragged into the murky river, where
03:42 it will be consumed whole.
03:45 It is always a terrifying experience for creatures in the savanna to attempt to quench their
03:50 thirst in crocodile-infested waters.
03:53 The world's fastest land animal is not exempt from this rule.
03:57 Here, a cheetah cautiously drinks water at the bank of a river.
04:01 It leans back, prepared to sprint to safety at the first signs of danger.
04:06 Suddenly, a gigantic crocodile leaps out of the water and bites the victim firmly in the
04:12 neck.
04:13 The attacker gives its victim zero time to fight back as it hastily wades back into the
04:17 river.
04:18 Its plan is to drown the cat and feast on it.
04:22 The cheetah's mother and sibling can be seen looking on from a distance.
04:26 They know they can do nothing to save it from the jaws of the mighty crocodile.
04:32 Crocodiles are vicious beasts that'll eat just about anything.
04:36 In this clip, we see a group of crocodiles on land.
04:40 A handler throws a piece of meat at the group.
04:43 None of the crocs go for the meat.
04:45 One tries to catch the meat, but it misses by a long shot.
04:49 At this point, one would think that this is a funny clip of fat, lazy crocodiles, until
04:54 one croc decides to rip the forelimb off another.
04:58 It chomps down on the limb and performs the infamous death roll, tearing its friend's
05:03 arm clean off.
05:05 Number 13.
05:07 Leopards vs. Predators
05:09 In this clip, a group of five cheetahs can be seen roaming the savannah.
05:13 They are the fastest creatures on land.
05:16 However, they're no match for any of the big cats in the genus Panthera.
05:21 The cheetahs seem to be having a good day.
05:24 That is until a leopard pops out of nowhere and chases them away from its territory.
05:29 The cheetahs are lucky as they are not caught by the angry leopard.
05:33 It would have been lights out for the nimble creature if any one of them was caught lacking.
05:37 Here, a young leopard is seen facing off against two cheetahs.
05:42 The cheetahs are unimpressed by the leopard's size, and they call the lone creature's bluff.
05:48 Whenever the leopard gets close to the cheetahs, it lies on its back, claws and fangs bare.
05:53 Any animal that tries to get close to it will definitely be maimed.
05:57 However, the cheetahs are not interested in fighting the aggressive cat.
06:02 Therefore, they leave it there, lying on the ground, waiting for a fight that'll not
06:06 happen.
06:07 It's another case of large predators bullying smaller carnivores.
06:11 In this clip, a lone leopard successfully hunts a young warthog.
06:16 The predator is about to finish the kill when the victim's cries draw in two fully grown
06:22 male lions.
06:23 One of the lions smacks the leopard.
06:25 The leopard knows that it is outmatched and outnumbered.
06:29 It takes off in the opposite direction, leaving its hard-earned meal for the bigger and stronger
06:34 predators.
06:35 The lions proceed to promptly dispatch the screaming warthog.
06:38 Number 12.
06:40 Weasels vs. Predators
06:42 Weasels are tiny and bold predators.
06:45 They do not shy away from prey that weighs more than they do.
06:48 They'll even go as far as to attack similar-sized predators, like rats.
06:54 Here, a weasel is in a death battle with a larger rat.
06:58 The rat kicks and turns, but the weasel's firm grip on the back of its neck is immovable.
07:04 At the end of the day, the rat succumbs, and the weasel drags it away for consumption.
07:10 Rats are omnivores that have been observed to prey on mice.
07:14 However, their predatory instincts are not on par with true carnivores like the weasel.
07:20 In this clip, a weasel engages in a long body-slamming battle with a rat.
07:25 The rat struggles to fend off the weasel, but its attempts are futile.
07:29 The superior predator is hungry and will not give up until the rat is sufficiently incapacitated.
07:36 Number 11.
07:37 Raccoons vs. Predators
07:39 In this clip, a coyote is out scavenging for animal carcasses.
07:44 It finds a carcass and casually starts eating.
07:47 It might not be fresh meat, but it will satisfy the coyote's hunger.
07:52 Suddenly, two raccoons charge the large canine.
07:56 Coyotes are one of the main predators of raccoons.
07:59 Nonetheless, these two bravehearts are willing to risk everything to get the large canine
08:03 away from the carcass.
08:05 A desperate fox stalks a raccoon of similar size.
08:09 The fox faint charges at the raccoon while the raccoon backs away slowly from the delusional
08:15 fox.
08:16 A deer looks on at the inaction of the fox.
08:19 It seems like the tiny canine will launch at the raccoon at any time, but nothing happens.
08:25 Raccoons are omnivores and opportunistic hunters.
08:28 If they're able to overpower a smaller creature, they'll eat it.
08:32 That is the case in this video, where a raccoon is casually munching on a snake.
08:38 Another raccoon is on a fence above, watching.
08:42 The second mass animal comes down to join in the meal.
08:45 However, the first raccoon is not keen on sharing the treat.
08:49 Number 10.
08:51 Snakes vs Predators Mongooses are small carnivores with a unique
08:56 resistance to venomous snakes.
08:58 Here, a cobra catches the eyes of a ravenous mongoose.
09:03 The mammal circles the reptiles, searching for the right moment to make its move.
09:07 The cobra flattens its neck to form the distinctive cobra head.
09:12 It is ready to strike the nuisance.
09:14 Unfortunately for the snake, even while stricken, the mongoose still has enough energy to kill
09:20 the snake.
09:22 After a while, the cobra resigns, head on the ground, moving back and forth, a last
09:27 ditch effort to preserve its existence in the face of a formidable foe.
09:32 When times are hard, anything goes.
09:35 That is the case in this video, where we see a cape cobra and a puff adder.
09:41 The long ravenous cape cobra is on the hunt to satisfy its hunger and is willing to dine
09:47 on its kind.
09:48 The unlucky puff adder gets the short end of the stick.
09:51 The cobra strikes it, ingesting venom into the bloodstream of its petite cousin.
09:57 In this clip, an eagle struggles to take down a snake.
10:01 In what is meant to be a quick snatch and dispatch, the eagle starts wrestling the snake
10:07 into submission.
10:08 Eagles rarely engage in long, drawn-out battles with their targets.
10:13 When they do, it is either the bird goes for an animal above its weight class or the snake
10:18 has tough skin and an unrelenting spirit to cling to life.
10:23 Number 9.
10:25 Eagles vs Predators A brown snake eagle is a specialist hunter
10:30 that prefers to prey on snakes.
10:33 In this video, one can be seen tearing a puff adder to bits with its beak.
10:37 Ever so slightly, the puff adder slithers around, but its freedom is deterred by the
10:43 sharp talons of the mighty bird.
10:45 It is safe to say that the snake is doomed to become sustenance for the bird.
10:51 A grizzly bear is walking along a slope seeking its next meal when a bald eagle swoops down
10:58 and scratches its head.
11:00 Eagles are powerful creatures known to take down animals that weigh more than them.
11:05 However, it's not an exaggeration to say that this eagle right here is way over its
11:11 head if it thinks that it has a chance at taking down a grizzly.
11:15 In the next clip, a fox is on the run for its life.
11:19 It senses that a large eagle is on its tail.
11:22 The fox runs across the field, but no shelter is in sight.
11:27 The eagle swoops down and scratches its target, an action that is meant to disorient the fox.
11:34 The fox tumbles, but gets up quickly, searching for a place to hide.
11:38 Unfortunately for the frightened fox, the eagle swoops down again and this time it follows
11:44 through with its attack.
11:45 The fox is going to wind up as the eagle's lunch.
11:50 Number 8.
11:52 Wolverines vs Predators
11:55 Wolverines are one of the most daring predators in the animal kingdom.
11:58 They're not the biggest of predators, but what they lack in size, they more than make
12:03 up for with their bravery and tenacity.
12:07 Here a hungry wolf is looking for a tasty snack when it comes across a wolverine minding
12:13 its business.
12:14 The wolf attacks the other animal, bites it and ragdolls it.
12:18 However, the wolverine is relentless in its defense.
12:22 The smaller predator fights back, claws and fangs bare.
12:26 The wolf is stunned.
12:27 It does not expect such a small creature to be so formidable.
12:31 When the aggressor realizes that the target will not go down easily, it stops the attempt
12:37 and walks away, still hungry.
12:39 In this clip, we get to see more of the uncommon bravery possessed by wolverines.
12:44 A black bear is seen on a tree.
12:47 A wolverine comes along and pursues the bear.
12:51 The large predator is shocked that such a small creature has the audacity to charge
12:56 at it.
12:57 The bear feint charges to scare the wolverine away, but the strategy does not work as the
13:02 pesky animal keeps coming back.
13:05 The smaller animal strikes the bear on the nose several times until finally the bear
13:10 leaves the area.
13:11 In this clip, a wolverine is seen following the scent of an animal carcass.
13:16 A couple of coyotes are busy stuffing their faces, that is until the wolverine makes an
13:21 appearance.
13:22 The short-tempered predator chases the coyotes from the carcass and begins munching down
13:27 on the meat.
13:28 The coyotes try to defend their lunch, but they're no match for the aggression displayed
13:33 by the 55-pound wolverine.
13:36 Number 7.
13:37 Jaguars vs Predators
13:38 Here, two male jaguars are seen duking it out by a river's edge.
13:45 The two big cats are in a fight over the territory.
13:48 The jaguar in the river initially lies on its back to increase its defensive capabilities.
13:53 When a big cat goes on its back, it is usually a last-ditch effort to protect itself.
13:59 The weaker jaguar gets up and stares down at the more dominant predator.
14:03 The two creatures snarl and growl at one another, with a defensive one showing signs of submission.
14:11 The fight dies down and both cats go into the jungle.
14:15 In this clip, four jaguars can be seen in an enclosure, two with dark pigmentation.
14:21 The jaguars seem relaxed when all of a sudden, a fight breaks out.
14:26 A spotted jaguar starts the fight by going after one of the black ones.
14:30 The attacker bites its target on the back of the neck and holds on for a while.
14:36 Wrestling and attacks are characteristics observed in captured jaguars.
14:41 These territorial animals are stressed out because they are forced to share spaces with
14:46 their kind.
14:48 This clip shows just how vicious a jaguar is in the wild.
14:52 An apex predator in its ecosystem, the noble jaguar is bold enough to stalk a giant black
14:58 caiman.
14:59 The predator jumps into the murky river, bites the unsuspecting caiman in the neck and drags
15:05 it ashore.
15:06 The power possessed by the jaguar is astonishing.
15:10 The caiman has no chance of survival since its spine is at the mercy of the jaguar's
15:17 jaws.
15:18 #6.
15:19 Monitors vs Predators Here, a young leopard cub decides to test
15:24 its hunting skills on a large monitor lizard.
15:27 The leopard circles the reptile, searching for the appropriate spot on the creature to
15:32 attack.
15:33 The monitor is no slouch as it follows the leopard, turning its powerful tail in whatever
15:39 direction the leopard faces.
15:41 The inexperienced hunter continues to distribute the monitor, moving closer with each second
15:46 that arises.
15:47 Suddenly, the monitor whips the cat with its tail.
15:51 The strike signals to the leopard that this is not easy prey.
15:55 It walks away, leaving the monitor lizard to continue its day.
16:00 Monitors are highly territorial and aggressive.
16:03 Two lizards duke it out in a battle for dominance.
16:07 They both stand on their feet, holding on to the other animal with their forelimbs.
16:12 Their technique of fighting is similar to wrestling, as both try to overpower the other
16:17 with sheer brute strength.
16:19 The weaker monitor tries to leave, but its adversary chases it down, determined to continue
16:25 the fight.
16:26 In this clip, a monitor lizard clamps down on the spine of a black cobra.
16:31 The snake is obviously tired of the bout.
16:34 It just wants to be freed from the clutches of the aggressor.
16:37 However, the monitor is determined to remain in this position.
16:41 The snake strikes it, but the strikes do nothing to change the situation of the battle.
16:47 Such an occurrence makes one wonder what the snake did to aggravate the monitor in the
16:51 first place.
16:53 #5 Alligators vs Predators Here, a gator stares at a water moccasin,
17:01 as if trying to decide its next course of action.
17:04 The alligator chooses to go for the kill.
17:07 The gator's strike is fast, and it displays its strength by ragdolling the unlucky snake.
17:13 The snake shouldn't have been that comfortable lying next to the ravenous beast.
17:18 It is mating season, and the gators are at it again.
17:22 Two alligators engage in a deadly battle.
17:25 The aggressor in the battle bites its opponent behind the neck.
17:28 When it sees that the attacks are not producing the desired results, it leaves the neck and
17:33 goes for the tail.
17:35 That fails to do any significant damage as well.
17:38 The two gators stop fighting almost immediately, and they continue to go about their day.
17:43 Talk about no hard feelings.
17:46 #4 Wolves vs Predators Wolves are highly effective hunters due to
17:52 their excellent teamwork.
17:54 They are capable of taking down the largest prey in their territory.
17:58 In this clip, a coyote tries its luck by trying to consume a pack's leftover carcass.
18:04 The wolf pack is not interested in sharing its hard-earned meal with a scavenger.
18:10 The pack chases the coyote.
18:12 The poor animal runs for its life, but it is outnumbered by wolves.
18:17 Not surprisingly, it's hard to run on an empty stomach.
18:20 The wolves intend to make an example of the animal, and they do with utmost viciousness.
18:26 If you were a wolf, you had better hope not to be an omega in your pack's hierarchy.
18:31 Here, an omega wolf casually goes about its day with its tail tucked between its hind
18:37 legs.
18:38 It's not trying to start any fights.
18:40 Nevertheless, the pack determines that the wolf needs to be punished for being weak.
18:45 Turns out wolves are no strangers to bullying.
18:47 A sure way to start a fight in the wild is to steal another animal's prey.
18:53 A grizzly bear attempts to steal a wolf pack's food.
18:57 The wolves are not interested in sharing their food.
19:00 Being a large pack, they are confident enough to fight for their meal even when the opponent
19:05 is a grizzly.
19:06 They surround the bear, biting it any chance they get.
19:10 It's safe to say that before this bear can successfully steal the carcass, it'll have
19:15 sustained some injuries from the persistent wolves.
19:19 Number 3.
19:20 Bears vs Predators
19:22 Bears might look cute and cuddly, but do not let their appearances fool you.
19:27 They are wild, ferocious beasts.
19:30 Four bears brutally attack a wolf.
19:33 Three of the wolf's buddies try to rescue their friend.
19:36 The pack's attempts to save the unlucky wolf are unsuccessful.
19:40 The wolf must have really annoyed these bears as they are hell-bent on ending its life.
19:46 In this clip, a marseillian bear is enjoying an afternoon nap right beside its food.
19:52 A lone wolf comes along.
19:54 Sensing the opportunity, it tries to steal the bear's leftovers.
19:58 The bear wakes up and charges the wolf.
20:01 It seems like the wolf does not recognize a losing battle.
20:05 There's no way the wolf can get that piece of meat from a predator multiple times its
20:10 weight.
20:11 I guess hunger can make one do crazy things.
20:14 Coyotes are every large predator's nightmare.
20:17 They are pesky, opportunistic predators that prefer to steal other animals' food.
20:23 Here, a coyote carefully watches a bear eating.
20:26 The tiny predator's observation and persistence pay off as it is able to run away with a large
20:32 chunk of meat.
20:34 The bear charges the thief, but it stops after ten paces.
20:38 It probably realized that if it continued the chase, another animal would come around
20:42 to finish the rest of the carcass.
20:45 Number 2.
20:46 Bobcats vs. Predators.
20:48 Here, two bobcats are hanging around an animal carcass, protecting the prize from the prying
20:54 eyes of scavengers.
20:56 A coyote comes along, searching for an opportunity to get a free meal.
21:01 The bobcats want no part in sharing their meal.
21:04 They snarl at the canine, but the determined coyote is not backing down.
21:10 Realizing that mere threats are not enough to persuade the hungry dog, the cats attack
21:15 with their claws and fangs.
21:17 The coyote gets the message this time.
21:21 Raccoons are stubborn creatures who randomly pick fights with almost any animal in their
21:25 path.
21:26 Here, a young bobcat lies on the ground, casually enjoying its afternoon.
21:32 It is approached by a large curious raccoon that gets very close to it.
21:37 The cat swipes at the nosy animal, but the raccoon keeps charging at it.
21:42 Coming back and dodging the raccoon's attacks with incredible nimbleness, the young cat
21:48 runs away from its aggressor.
21:50 The raccoon continues the chase, but it is evident that the bobcat is out of its reach.
21:55 Here, a hungry bobcat traverses the woods in search of breakfast.
22:00 The cat comes across a rattlesnake and immediately begins attacking the venomous predator.
22:06 The snake tries to get a deadly bite in, but the cat is too quick.
22:11 The nimble cat disorients the rattlesnake with quick strikes to the head.
22:15 With the snake confused, the feline bites the snake in the neck, near its head, a move
22:21 that seals the fate of the venomous animal.
22:24 Number 1.
22:26 Honeybadgers vs. Predators
22:28 Honeybadgers, similar to wolverines, are a part of the weasel family.
22:32 They are extremely aggressive and show no fear in combat.
22:36 A lion runs up to a honeybadger, hoping for an easy meal.
22:41 To the lion's surprise, this prey is not about to go down without a fight.
22:46 The lion follows the violent lightweight, trying different ways to attack the creature.
22:51 After following it for a few yards, the apex predator decides to leave the petite guy alone.
22:57 In this clip, we get to see a honeybadger's toughness.
23:01 A leopard has its target.
23:04 The big cat pins and bites the persistent honeybadger, an attack that would have taken
23:08 down animals twice the size of the victim.
23:11 The victim does not give up as it tries to free itself from the jaws of the superior
23:17 predator.
23:18 Unfortunately, its attempts are not enough to set it free from the ravenous leopard.
23:23 What happens when three young leopards set out to get a honeybadger-themed menu for lunch?
23:29 This clip shows what'll happen.
23:31 Leopards are unrelenting in their attempts to cling to life.
23:35 This fascinating creature manages to fight off the cats even though it gets pinned by
23:40 the bigger animal many times.
23:42 The leopards are shocked.
23:44 They don't expect their food to fight back with such ferocity.
23:48 In the end, the honeybadger walks away free, strutting its tail.
23:52 While you're here, go ahead and click on one of these two videos on your screen.
23:56 We'll see you there!
