A crocodile would beat an anaconda in a fight. A fully grown crocodile is simply too big and strong for an anaconda to kill. Even in an ambush situation, the anaconda would struggle to wrap enough of its body around the crocodile to inhibit its movement and crush it.
An alligator would win a fight against an anaconda.
All the anaconda can do is try to bite and coil around the alligator, but it does so at its own peril.
A snake has won a lengthy battle with a crocodile in northern Queensland, wrestling it, constricting it and then finally eating it.
An alligator would win a fight against a python in most cases. To be clear, this is assuming that the alligator is fully grown. At their full size, alligators have the power to ward off or outright kill a python.
Unfortunately, in the end, the python's power was no match for the cobra's venom. “It would kill the python pretty quickly,” Sheehy says. “Probably within 30 minutes, they could both be dead.”
Big cats like leopards and panthers sometimes kill and eat these big reptiles. Large snakes can also do a lot of damage to alligators and crocodiles. There are countless videos showing snakes wrapped around gators and crocodiles.
Green anacondas grow up to 17 feet long and live in the northern half of South America. They've never been observed eating a crocodilian, though they do share some territory with Orinoco crocodiles. Given their size, it's likely these behemoths could take on a crocodile, though they've never been documented doing so.
A hippo would win a fight against a crocodile. Although crocodiles are large, powerful creatures, they cannot kill a fully-grown hippo. Hippos are large, round animals that are much taller than crocodiles. The only place they would be vulnerable to attack is their legs.
The adult anaconda does not generally have any predators since they are at the top of the food chain, being such a huge snake. However, the babies have predators that adult anacondas don't have, including birds and even jaguars.
An adult anaconda would win a fight against a Komodo dragon. The Komodo dragon is a highly capable fighter, but it would not be able to deal fatal damage to the anaconda before it was grabbed and crushed. Anacondas can successfully attack crocodiles, creatures that can kill faster than a Komodo dragon.
Even in the cases of a large anaconda, a gorilla is so powerful that it would probably crush the anaconda's skull and end the threat before the anaconda could completely wrap around it. Gorillas are fast and ferocious in combat, so it's hard for a snake to take them by surprise and meaningfully attack them.
A crocodile would beat an anaconda in a fight. A fully grown crocodile is simply too big and strong for an anaconda to kill. Even in an ambush situation, the anaconda would struggle to wrap enough of its body around the crocodile to inhibit its movement and crush it.
An anaconda would win a fight against a king cobra. This outcome assumes that both of these creatures met in an open area that doesn't allow an ambush to happen. Otherwise, the anaconda might just snatch the water-loving king cobra into the water and make for a much less interesting fight.
The tiger has an advantage earlier but is soon overtaken by the giant anaconda.
If the fight were to happen on land, a rhino might have the upper hand against a saltwater croc because it is more used to living on land. However, if a fight started close to the water or in the water directly, the crocodile would likely defeat the rhino.
The offensive capabilities of these two creatures are similar, but the anaconda is much stronger and gets the advantage.
Females will sometimes cannibalize males, especially during breeding season. Due to their size, green anacondas are one of the few snakes capable of consuming a human, however this is extremely rare.
Prior studies determined that the anaconda's possible crush force is 90 pounds per square inch. That's comparable to an elephant sitting on your chest. We used tug-boat ropes to test the suit beforehand between trucks. It withstood squeezing at 90 psi.
Although the lion has a lot of advantages over the crocodile in terms of a fight, the crocodile would win in a fight against a lion. The crocodile is simply too large and powerful for the lion to defeat.
Tiger Predators: Crocodile
A crocodile can eat a tiger if given the opportunity. While big cats aren't usually part of a croc's diet, they will eat anything if they are hungry enough.
