00:00
If you saw that your opponent was clearly stronger than you, would you continue the
00:03
fight to save face or quietly slink away?
00:06
In the animal kingdom, predator and prey regularly get into a headlock and rarely do the prey
00:11
survive.
00:12
The key word here is "rarely".
00:15
Sometimes the tables turn and the predator learns a lesson.
00:20
We all love an underdog triumphing and giving the big guy a taste of his own medicine.
00:26
Well today, we're going to take a look at 15 times predators messed with the wrong prey.
00:31
Welcome back to Forever Green.
00:33
Before we get into it, we've got a small quiz for you.
00:36
In a fight between a sloth and a harpy eagle, who do you think wins?
00:40
Think about it and stick around for the answer.
00:46
Number 15, Jaguar vs Caiman.
00:51
Caimans are the last animals you want to mess with.
00:54
These crocs native to the Amazon basin are known to attack humans unprovoked and have
00:59
the jaws to bite your limbs clean off.
01:03
But unfortunately for this caiman, the jaguar wasn't going down without a fight.
01:09
The jaguar ambushed the caiman and dragged the 8 foot reptile out of the water.
01:15
Suffice to say, this meal is going to last the jaguar a while.
01:23
Number 14, Orcas vs Tiger Shark.
01:29
It's anyone's guess who the predator here is and who the prey.
01:34
Both orcas, also called killer whales, and the tiger shark are two of the greatest predators
01:38
of the underwater world.
01:42
This moment captured between them really is a battle.
01:45
Three orcas were spotted ganging up on one tiger shark.
01:48
Now don't feel too bad because tiger sharks are responsible for their fair share of human
01:53
attacks.
01:54
Unfortunately, the tiger shark couldn't dominate in this fight.
02:00
We're not surprised.
02:01
If they're called killer whales, and there are three of them, you already know who's
02:05
winning.
02:06
They forced the shark to the surface of the water and flipped it onto its back, thereby
02:11
paralyzing it.
02:14
They then bit its fins off before making a meal of the shark.
02:20
Now tiger sharks are not what we would typically consider prey for obvious reasons.
02:26
But for this group of orcas, it certainly was.
02:31
Sometimes the tables are turned, and there have been reports of tiger sharks and great
02:34
whites eating whales.
02:37
So it's a regular war in the sea amongst the two families.
02:42
Number 3, Lion vs Honey Badger.
02:48
What could go wrong?
02:49
This little honey badger is happily scurrying along when it crosses paths with a lion.
02:55
The lion sees its next meal, but doesn't know how aggressive these creatures can be,
02:59
and approaches.
03:01
When the badger begins to defend himself, the lion is obviously left a little confused.
03:08
The badger emits a loud sound to deter the lion, which obviously works.
03:14
The king of the grasslands probably isn't used to this much pushback from its prey.
03:19
He follows the badger for a while, but it's clear he's too afraid to attack with all his
03:23
might because he's still a little unsure.
03:29
At this point, he just looks comical rather than intimidating.
03:34
If you're ever scared of a lion at the zoo, just think of this footage, and you'll laugh
03:38
to yourself.
03:39
If you think a badger fighting back is impressive, just wait till number 1.
03:44
It's going to shock you.
03:50
Number 12, Mega Shark vs Octopus.
03:56
We miss out on a load of entertainment happening underwater.
04:00
Many battles happen deep in the ocean, unbeknownst to us, and there are regular encounters between
04:05
octopuses and sharks.
04:08
We only get to see these battles if they're in a tank at a zoo, which is where this instance
04:12
was recorded.
04:14
If you've ever seen Jaws, or even if you haven't, you're probably afraid of sharks, but octopuses
04:21
aren't any less of a threat.
04:24
This blue shark was swimming along, minding its own business, when an octopus launched
04:28
itself from its hiding spot and tried to take down the 12-foot-long predator.
04:35
Of course, the octopus is not so small himself, with a weight of 600 pounds and a 30-foot
04:40
tentacle, so it's anyone's guess who could win.
04:45
After a few minutes of struggle, when it looks like the shark has been engulfed in tentacles
04:49
and might die, we see it actually devour the octopus.
04:55
Sharks prefer squids and other crustaceans for their meals, but if an octopus is going
04:59
to challenge them, we're guessing it won't follow its diet so strictly.
05:05
Number 11.
05:06
Honey Badgers vs. Six Lions
05:11
If two honey badgers were pit against six lions, who was coming out alive?
05:17
The answer should be so obvious, but it isn't.
05:21
These two badgers crossed into dangerous territory when they entered a lion's den.
05:27
The pack was probably excited to see their dinners literally walk to them, and they pounced.
05:33
But a lioness got bitten on the nose and retreated, allowing the badgers to make a clean escape.
05:39
How funny would it be if this was the same badger entering into the pack of the same
05:43
lion from earlier?
05:49
Number 10.
05:50
Rabbit vs. Snake
05:54
It's easy to guess which one would make it out alive in a normal situation.
05:59
A fluffy little rabbit has no chance against a venomous snake, or so you would think.
06:08
This snake found a rabbit's nest and was gearing up for a buffet breakfast of bunny babies
06:12
when the mother arrived.
06:15
This video is a testament to what a mother can do if her babies are under threat.
06:20
This rabbit fights the snake with all her might, and when the snake realizes it's not
06:24
getting that meal, it tries to slither away.
06:27
Well, the mother isn't finished yet.
06:31
She pulls the snake back for one final hit before letting it go.
06:35
I guess the moral here is never to mess with a mother's baby.
06:42
Number 9.
06:43
Wild Dogs vs. Wildebeest
06:47
Wild dogs make for some of the best hunters in the world.
06:51
In fact, they make for great companions when people go hunting for big game.
06:56
But size isn't their advantage, especially against the wildebeest.
07:02
The top bull of the pack charges right at one of the dogs and puts him on the ground
07:06
while other dogs continue to attack.
07:09
Suffice to say, the dogs didn't get their dinner that night.
07:14
Number 8.
07:15
Polar Bear vs. Walrus
07:20
Polar bears require a lot of fat.
07:22
A lot of fat to survive the never-ending winter.
07:26
With their 18% body fat, walruses make for the perfect meal for these bears and are often
07:32
prey to these massive predators.
07:36
As fluffy and cozy as a polar bear would look, they are actually powerful animals you do
07:40
not want to mess with.
07:44
One walrus either wasn't aware of this fact or simply didn't care.
07:49
This 9 foot long, 1500 pound bear met its match in a walrus of 4,400 pounds with tusks.
07:57
The herd of elephant walruses formed a wall to protect the young and elderly and we can
08:01
see how the bear is trying to find any vulnerable point in the wall.
08:06
It finally got its hands on one outlier, but they fought back with their 3 foot long tusks,
08:11
leaving the poor polar bear with an empty stomach.
08:16
Number 7.
08:17
Eagle vs. Shark
08:21
This epic battle went down in the Pacific Ocean and some were lucky enough to capture
08:25
it.
08:27
Sea lions haven't made a habit of eating thresher and leopard sharks, but they could if they
08:31
wanted to.
08:33
This footage filmed on Lugana beach shows a sea lion take down a leopard shark with
08:37
almost no effort at all.
08:42
While sharks may be at the top of the food chain in the ocean, it is almost always no
08:45
match for a 770 pound sea lion.
08:51
We say almost because sharks are known to make a snack of seals, so this one was probably
08:55
fighting for its pack.
09:00
Number 6.
09:01
King Cobra vs. Python
09:06
If an elephant can die from a single bite of a king cobra, a python shouldn't be a
09:10
problem, right?
09:12
Well, that's what this 4 meter long king cobra thought, at least.
09:17
These are some of the most venomous snakes in the world, and they make meals of massive
09:21
snakes too.
09:23
Well, this python wasn't having it.
09:27
It constricted itself around the body of the cobra and suffocated it.
09:31
It was a long battle, but the cobra eventually died.
09:35
Unfortunately, its venom took effect, and the python died too.
09:39
At least it was a noble end.
09:43
Number 5.
09:44
Kangaroo vs. Dog
09:45
Kangaroos, as we've found recently, are basically the bodybuilders of the animal kingdom.
09:55
When they stand to their full height, they look ripped.
09:58
Definitely not animals you want to mess with.
10:00
Dogs, however, don't discriminate.
10:03
They just attack, and whatever happens, happens.
10:07
Well, this time, it so happened that the kangaroo wasn't feeling very playful.
10:12
A tourist captured this moment between a dog and a kangaroo.
10:17
The kangaroo uses its weight to keep the dog underwater until it drowns.
10:22
This is actually quite a common technique for kangaroos under attack.
10:26
They lead the dog to water, and when the dog attacks, they hold them down until they drown
10:30
and die.
10:32
It must be difficult for the owner to see their dog meet such a gruesome end.
10:39
Number 4.
10:40
Otter vs. Croc
10:45
Otters are undoubtedly one of the cutest, happiest little animals on the planet.
10:50
The internet is full of adorable pictures of otters with teddy bears, smiling otters,
10:54
and otters holding hands.
10:57
Aww.
10:58
But there is a species of giant otters, and while they're still cute, they can also be
11:02
aggressive when they need to be.
11:05
When it looked like this caiman croc was getting too close for comfort to this nest of otters,
11:09
the males stepped in to defend it.
11:12
At first, they tried to distract the caiman while others attacked from the front.
11:17
They went in so hard, they actually managed to kill the caiman.
11:22
Caimans are not easy to bring down.
11:23
They are even responsible for several human fatalities.
11:26
So, you can understand how impressive it is that this pack of otters managed to kill one.
11:34
This is a story these otters will be telling their grandkids for sure.
11:41
Number 3.
11:42
Anteater vs. Jaguar
11:46
What happens when a jaguar tries to bite off more than what they can chew?
11:51
Predators generally go for baby anteaters, as the adults are too much work to fight and
11:54
pin down.
11:56
Well, this jaguar was probably in the mood for a bigger lunch and decided to take his
12:00
chances.
12:03
Anteaters can be pretty ferocious fighters and have strong forelimbs and claws.
12:09
The claws are used to tear into termite nests or anthills, but it can be used for other
12:13
things too.
12:15
But in this clip, it looks like he wasn't looking to use his claws, but rather tease
12:19
the jaguar by laying low on the ground and inviting the jaguar to attack before pulling
12:24
a 180 on him.
12:27
It is now time to check out today's subscriber pick.
12:30
Remember, if you come across an interesting or bizarre picture on the internet, be sure
12:34
to send it over and we'll investigate.
12:36
We might even feature it in a future video.
12:39
Today's image is of a zebra kicking a lion in the head.
12:42
It seems the lion's skull just split open.
12:45
We're sure zebras have a strong kick, almost like horses do, but we weren't sure if it
12:49
was enough to cause this much damage, so we looked into it.
12:52
Check out number 2.
12:56
Zebra vs Lion.
13:01
Zebras are often a favorite of the grassland predators.
13:04
They're almost always preyed upon by groups of lionesses, but this one, oddly enough,
13:08
is all alone.
13:11
It looks like she's got a pretty good grip on it, but we all know where this is going.
13:18
The zebra gets up and fights back, and for a few seconds, the zebra is on top of the
13:22
lioness and pins her down.
13:25
Once he's free of her, he even delivers a few kicks to her snout.
13:30
This makes for another story to pass down to the grandkids.
13:36
Before we move on, here's a quick challenge for you.
13:39
If you can leave a like on this video, smash that subscribe button, and turn on the notifications
13:43
in less than 5 seconds, you will have 10 years of amazing luck.
13:47
Hurry up and try it, it actually works.
13:52
Number 1.
13:53
Sloth vs Harpy.
13:58
Sloths aren't what you'd consider a fighter.
14:01
Far from it.
14:02
They are known to mistake their own limbs for branches and end up falling from trees
14:06
and dying.
14:09
That might sound sad and funny at the same time, but it's absolutely true.
14:14
Well, this sloth seemed to be a little tougher and smarter because it managed to fight off
14:19
this harpy eagle all by itself.
14:23
Harpy eagles are hunting carnivores and apex predators and prey mostly on sloths, monkeys,
14:28
and possums.
14:30
They even prey on other birds and have powerful 4-inch talons to tear into an animal.
14:36
Of course, the fact that this particular eagle was still young and inexperienced helped.
14:41
However, it's still impressive for a sloth, especially given that it was a pretty old
14:46
one.
14:49
Fights in boxing rings or in superhero movies are definitely exciting, but the animal kingdom
14:53
has some pretty entertaining fights going on too.
14:56
Who would have thought?
14:59
If you enjoyed this video, be sure to check out others over on the 4 Evergreen channel,
15:03
and we'll be back soon.
15:04
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time.
