01:13 Elephants are massive.
01:18 They have dinosaur-like proportions
01:23 and stand over 10 feet tall
01:25 and weigh between 12,000 until 15,000 pounds.
01:29 For such huge creatures,
01:37 they are also quick and are capable
01:38 of reaching speeds of 25 miles per hour.
01:42 Crocodiles have been around for millions of years
01:53 and are the ultimate survivors.
01:55 They can weigh over 2,000 pounds
02:02 and can get over 17 feet in length.
02:05 (upbeat music)
02:08 They have incredibly tough skin,
02:14 which protects them from attack
02:16 and they have the strongest bite force of any animal.
02:19 They are known to tackle large prey
02:30 like wildebeest, zebra, and gaur.
02:34 When it comes to a battle with an elephant,
02:37 the crocodile will get decimated pretty easily.
02:40 The size discrepancy is too extreme
02:46 and that the crocodile would have a hard time
02:48 mounting any offense.
02:50 On land, crocodiles are slow
02:54 and maneuverability would be an issue.
02:56 The elephant would merely stomp on the crocodile
03:02 and it would be game over.
03:03 (upbeat music)
03:07 In water, the crocodile might have a slightly better chance
03:10 as it can maneuver better and put itself
03:13 in a better position to attack the elephant.
03:15 If the crocodile did manage to bite the elephant,
03:28 it would probably be on the trunk
03:30 and while the crocodile would try in vain
03:32 to drag the elephant into the water,
03:35 the elephant would overpower the crocodile
03:37 and drag it on land, where it would either toss it aside
03:40 or impale it with its tusks.
03:42 Because of that, crocodiles do not often take
03:48 on such massive animals,
03:50 but have been known to attack smaller elephants.
03:52 As we know, crocodile like a classic opportunistic predators
04:00 they lurk patiently beneath the surface
04:02 near the water's edge,
04:04 waiting for potential prey to stop to take a sip.
04:07 They will eat anything their jaws can get.
04:13 Without warning, they burst out of the water
04:20 with a flick of their powerful tail.
04:27 Grabbed their victim and dragged them back,
04:30 holding them down until the animal drowned.
04:32 After that, they will becomes more and more overwhelmed
04:40 by the water and the crocodile's persistent pull.
04:43 The crocodile's jaw was a major factor
04:51 in his victory over prey.
04:57 They have the strongest bite of any animal.
05:00 Large crocodiles can bite down
05:05 with a force of over 5,000 pounds per square inch.
05:09 But, elephants are very protective of their young ones.
05:16 They use their tusks and their trunks against any predator
05:23 trying to harm the young ones or even themselves.
05:27 (dramatic music)
05:29 Naturally, the elephants don't have predators
05:34 unless the very ambitious predators
05:36 trying to take down the elephant's calves.
05:38 Though crocodiles are famous for being able
05:46 to take down large prey such as wildebeest,
05:49 the elephant is much too big for them.
05:51 In a terrestrial fight,
05:56 the crocodile is obviously no match.
05:59 In the crocodile's favored environment,
06:04 it is still not strong enough to defeat the elephant.
06:07 Normally, an encounter would result
06:13 in both parties walking or swimming away.
06:16 Such fights most probably can take place
06:22 when the elephants go to drink water or swim in the river
06:25 and one of the crocodiles tries to grab the trunk
06:28 or leg of an elephant by its mouth.
06:30 In such a situation, due to its impressive power,
06:39 the elephant will be able to toss around the crocodile
06:42 and due to the injuries got from the elephant's tusks
06:45 and its feet, the crocodile would obviously let go.
06:48 The elephant is also capable of crushing the skull
06:54 of the crocodile with only one kick.
06:56 They have an extremely strong and dexterous trunk
07:04 that consists of eight major muscle groups,
07:07 150 muscle bundles and is capable of lifting upwards
07:11 of 362 kilograms and pulling down massive trees.
07:15 They have massive six-foot-long tusks
07:23 that can impale with impunity.
07:25 To top it off, they are highly intelligent animals.
07:34 In fact, they are one of the most intelligent animals
07:37 on the planet.
07:38 They can identify language, use tools,
07:46 understand human body language,
07:48 mourn their dead and have incredible memories.
07:51 (upbeat music)
07:54 Elephants have the complete package
07:58 when it comes to being able to dominate
08:00 almost every animal on earth.
08:01 They have size, strength, armor like skin,
08:05 weapons galore and intelligence.
08:07 Lions are strong, carnivorous predators
08:18 that usually hunt in coordinated prides
08:21 to bring their prey,
08:22 although they can hunt and kill when alone.
08:25 Elephants are the largest land mammal in existence today.
08:34 They are massive herbivores that operate
08:36 in complex family structures called herds.
08:39 These herds usually led by a matriarch, female leader.
08:48 Elephants can often be encountered on their own
08:51 either as lone bull or during a temporary foray
08:54 away from the herd.
08:55 Although elephants are often thought of as gentle giants
09:11 due to their slow lethargic pace,
09:14 they are amongst the most dangerous animals in Africa
09:17 and can often have serious temper tantrums
09:19 when pushed or frustrated.
09:21 Lions are the apex predator and have little to worry about
09:33 when it comes to being preyed upon.
09:35 They weigh over 500 pounds,
09:40 can reach speeds of 50 miles per hour
09:43 and leap up to 36 feet.
09:46 They have razor sharp claws and daggers for teeth
09:50 and can bite down on prey
09:52 with a force of over 650 pounds per square inch.
09:55 When it comes to a battle
09:59 with a healthy and full-sized elephant,
10:02 a lion has an abysmal chance.
10:04 It's even more abysmal when you consider
10:10 that lions are pack hunters
10:12 and rely on their numbers to take down prey.
10:15 (dramatic music)
10:17 While a lion is a formidable opponent in most respects,
10:25 is not an efficient killing machine without its pack.
10:28 To attack an elephant,
10:35 the lion would need to get at the rear of the elephant.
10:38 (dramatic music)
10:40 It cannot attack from the front
10:50 as the trunk and tusk of the elephant
10:52 would surely dismantle the lion.
10:54 If the lion is successful
10:59 in getting to the rear of the elephant,
11:01 the lion can claw and bite the elephant,
11:03 although it would be in vain
11:05 as the elephant's thick skin provides ample protection
11:08 for it to de-fling the lion off and trample or gore it.
11:12 Lion will usually avoid adult elephant
11:19 and attack youngsters
11:20 only if they have become separated from the herd.
11:23 Lions have also been known to target older,
11:32 sick elephants that are well beyond their prime.
11:35 (dramatic music)
11:38 Elephant top speed is 40 kilometers per hour.
11:42 Lion top speed is 80 kilometers per hour.
11:51 In a running battle,
11:55 the elephant is certain to lose to the lion.
12:04 (dramatic music)
12:07 The fact that lions hunt elephants in pack of prides
12:14 further slows down the elephant's movement.
12:17 So, certain prides have been known to specialize
12:23 in taking down full-grown adult elephants
12:25 under desperate circumstances
12:27 when food was exceptionally scarce.
