Warthog height shoulder is 63
to 85 cm. While the height
shoulder of the Leopard is 60
to 70 centimeters.
With almost the same height,
warthog can throw the
leopard by its tusk. Or even
injure or tear the Leopard's
skin with its tusk. As we can
see the leopard giving up and
running away from the
warthog. When confronted by
predators like lions, a
warthog s best defense is to
dash off at full speed of around
48 km/h. Same as fast as a small
horse, with the tail sticked
straight to the air as it runs
eventually. That allows the
warthog to outrun most
predators and escape
unscathed. However, most of
the time, that s not enough, some
warthogs must put a lot of
effort into running in order
to escape from lions. Lions
have surprisingly
swift and agile despite their
bulk, they can accelerate to
around 80 km/h, far more than
any warthog. Luckily, some
warthogs become feisty pigs that
can and will fight back
against lions if threatened.
Especially with their long,
sharp tusks. Tusks are ever
growing canine teeth. They use
their sharp lower canine
teeth (which look like
straight tusks) as weapons while
squealing at the top of their
lungs. Crocodiles are
ambush predators with very strong
bite force and sharp plus
conical teeth. That factors
making it almost impossible for
prey to escape from its grip.
When a warthog fights or is
threatened by a hyena, warthogs
will surprisingly run
fast, with running at
speeds of up to 48 km/hour. Many
times,they will hiding in a
burrow so the hyena can only
slightly injure them. But if
it's really cornered the
warthog will fight back. The
African wild dog ,also called the
painted dog, or Cape hunting
dog, is a canine native to sub
Saharan Africa. It is a highly
social animal, living and
hunting in packs. When
fighting a warthog, wild
dogs surrounded him and one by
one bit him every chance he
got. Usually the warthog will run
into the hole. The tusk of
warthog has the power to carry
out a very amazing attack.
But that only applies to
animals that are almost the same
height as warthog. So, if
they fight with animal who has a
bigger and taller body,
they will lose. Its because, the
warthog can be slammed back
easily. Buffaloes living
in a wide area in Africa
generally do not live alone. They
living in herd protect
themselves from dangers. If it s
a one on one fight between an
adult lion and an adult
buffalo, the winner would be
the buffalo. Its because, the
average weight of an adult lion
is 400 to 500 pounds. Average
weight of an adult buffalo is
1800 to 2500 pounds. It s
literally impossible for a
lion to knock an adult buffalo
off its feet due to the massive
weight of the bovine. But, a
pride of lions together can
overpower an adult buffalo. A
pride of lions can overcome an
adult buffalo is by getting a
firm bite on its throat or
windpipe. The only way one of
the large cats especially lion,
can take down a large bovid like
buffalo is to grab it by the
throat, and suffocate it.
Cape buffalos, unlike guars,
are very difficult, to
take by the throat while
they are standing. A
lion pride takes down buffalo by
wearing it down, over a period of
time, until it collapses. After
which one of them goes in for
the throat-suffocating
kill. A single lion cannot grab
a standing buffalo by the
throat and hang on, neither can
it wear down a buffalo to the
point at which it collapses.
Cats just don t have that amount
of stamina, which is why it
takes an entire pride, with the
members spelling each other off.
