i've heard the hippo myth about the nile croc getting bitten in half. even if that is a myth, they're still the most dangerous creature in Africa. followed by the buffalo.
however, nile crocs are mere pussys compared to the good old saltwater monsters that live in the north of australia.
i've heard it said that if the common sand scorpion was as big as a wolverine, it would be the ultimate predator. it has all of our 5 senses, and two more, tank like armour, etc.... but lets not speculate on this... this isn't a handicap competition to find out the hardest animal of all.
we should be catagorising different environments...
in the air... hawks/eagles/condors?
in the open water... the winner is the great white shark... or is it the orca?
in the river/waterlands environment... the winner has to be the salty croc.
on land... this remains to be seen... komodo dragon may eat mainly carrion, but lets not forget that the beast became carrion because the dragon blitz attacked it and then let it limp off to die. this honey badger may be incredibly ferocious and it may have a penchant for mammal scrotum... but is it immune to disease, virus and microbe?
