Video: Exciting duels between wild animals

In the wild, you need to kill in order to survive. Moreover, such fights help not only to stock up on food, but also to preserve their own skin. And if animals are forced to resort to cruel reprisals, then people perceive these fights as a colorful and unique sight. They shoot videos of the bloody action and even place bets at the very beginning on the most powerful animal, in their opinion. We also decided to show the most exciting shots from the life of various animals in the wild.
The first to enter the arena are lionesses from the Masai Mara reserve. Perhaps the predatory cats did not share the male. Or maybe someone hinted to the lioness that she gained a couple of kilograms, and she decided to take revenge on the offender. The only thing that pleases me is the outcome of the battle: a couple of scratches, a bitten ear and traditional tufts of hair scattered on the ground.
The next battle is more justified. It happened in the Indian reserve Ranthambore between a she-bear and a young tiger. The latter did not know that he had come close to the bear's den, where her children were resting. And a caring mother did not find anything better than to kick an uninvited guest on the neck.
And again restless females divide the territory. This time - young zebras. They have no way to hack a page on social networks or pour broken glass into their shoes, so they have to solve problems in the old proven way - with hooves.
Moreover, if the zebra is angry, then not only her friends, but also the ferocious lion will not be good.
And here the eagle protects its prey. The sly fox decided to feast on carrion, but did not take into account the harsh disposition of the owner of the prey. The red-haired cheat, of course, will not learn to fly, but next time it will think three times before claiming someone else's food. It's not for you to take the fish from the wolf. Eagles are severe birds.
By the way, here is the wolf. While the fox is sorting out the relationship with the eagle, her old friend is trying to steal a piece of freshly killed roe deer. But the bear seems to be against his idea.
But if the wolf has any chances to stay alive (a full muzzle does not count), then this hippopotamus is much less fortunate. The poor fellow got lost and ended up in a den of lionesses, who immediately decided to make him their prey.
And here is the opposite situation. Hippos eat the unfortunate crocodile. This is what it means to be in the majority. And you will remain whole and full.
It looks like crocodiles are out of luck these days. The fight between the jaguar and the alligator ended not in favor of the latter. And this is even taking into account the one-on-one struggle, and the huge number of teeth in the crocodile's mouth.
In the fight with the elephant, the crocodile also had to retreat. It all started out pretty well, though. A baby elephant came to the watering hole, which seemed to the alligator such an easy prey. It was not possible to feast on young meat. The mother of a baby elephant walked nearby, dragging her baby away from the reservoir and leaving the crocodile hungry.
By the way, there is nothing strange about such devotion. Scientists have long proved that the maternal instinct in animals is developed almost as strongly as in humans. Therefore, it is worth thinking several times before taking a small cub in the forest in your arms. It may well be that his mother is walking nearby, who will not appreciate the gentle impulse and will try to take the child away. And by force.
