Who Will Win ?

This large lace monitor had found its prey a coastal carpet python that wasn’t ready to give up so easily. A 20 minute battle. The python had taken some damage and it had wrapped itself around the lace monitor immobilising the rear legs. The most amazing thing was towards the end you can see how the lace monitor was goating the python to strike so it could grab its head and finish the python off and get his well deserved meal.

Animals do not have the capacity for hatred

Animals do not have the capacity for hatred

Let me repeat that: Animals do not have the capacity for hatred.

So then why are lions and spotted hyenas seemingly at each other's throats at all times, and why will lions go out of their way for the chance to end a spotted hyena who makes the mistake of traipsing through their territory?

It makes more sense when you realize that both species are considered apex predators. This puts them in direct competition with each other, which means the mere existence of one threatens the resource security of the other. This is especially true in the leaner times of year. When prey animals are harder to come by, you can expect to see this competition ramp way up.

However, there is no hatred to be found in the hearts of either animal. When you get down to the core reasoning behind these violent acts, you’ll find it is simply the most efficient means to a preferred end: less mouths to feed means more for everyone else. Read More »

The sound of a cassowary legitimately sounds like a dinosaur.

So what exactly is a cassowary? Like their cousins the emus, these large, flightless birds with bristly feathers are ratites. They are native to the tropical forests of south-east Asia and Australia. Though size varies across the three different species, cassowaries can stand up to 2 m (6 ft 6 in) tall and weigh as much as 60 kg (132 lb) The last-known victim was 16-year-old hunter Phillip McClean, who tripped while fleeing from a bird in Australia. It was when McClean was on the ground that he received a fatal blow to the neck.

Puma attack

Pumas, AKA mountain lions, are apex predators and are known for their strength and agility. They are capable of taking down prey much larger than themselves, which includes animals like the guanaco. These large beasts are a type of camelid, closely related to the domesticated llama. They are well adapted to the harsh environment they exist in, be it the high altitudes of the Andes or the barren plains of Patagonia.Guanacos have evolved several strategies to survive in the face of predators. They are known to be able to run at speeds of up to 56 km/h (35 mph), which can help them escape from predators in many situations. They can also use their strong necks and heads to deliver powerful blows, or swing a puma around in an attempt to break the cat's stranglehold as you can see from the video above.Mountain lions are experienced and tenacious hunters. They employ a stealth approach, preferring to ambush their prey and aim for the neck, where they can inflict a critical bite that crushes the windpipe, severs the spinal cord, or suffocates the prey.In the end, the puma outlasts the guanaco and secures a massive win against an opponent that is at least twice her size.
