Title: Domination ( Creatures Vs Creatures )
Post by: TeteoInan on September 26, 2011, 09:18:48 AM
Insects, mammals... Nature's battles happen for a number of reasons; survival depends on the ability to overpower, hunt better, or make a better impression.


Hornet vs. ______ 



Alright, so Asian Hornets ( Japanese Hornets - a nightmare for anyone allergic ) are some of the nastiest I've seen yet. For instance, 30 of these killers will massacre 30,000 European HoneyBees. 

( I was gonna type all this stuff out, but I found videos!!! Exciting!! )

But against a Japanese Honeybee... the Hornets don't luck out so well.

Kind of hoping the mantis would get the meal on that one, but neither were anywhere near as brutal as those bees :-oNo idea those things could beat something like that without stinging once.

I'm all forms of excited about this topic. I have so many things to share  *<:) ... I Had to start it off with something amazing though.

When I first saw something about this, I figured it'd be something like that! Bees can only sting once, Hornets can sting multiple times, etc. Y'know, something along those lines.

Can you imagine getting stung by one of those things though?

@ RavinClaw.

Isi'nt it something to do with oxygen levels?
I know they have evidence of giant bugs during the prehistoric ages because of higher Oxygen count.
Dragonfly's the size of Hawks, Centipede's almost 8 ft long....
*Shivers*

Beetle vs Frog? Craziness!  :-o  :-P

Camel Spider eating a lizard... you can see the lizard shrinking and the spider's abdomen getting bigger.

Yep. If they had lungs they would get quiet a bit larger even with the oxogen levels today. Ants the size of a wolf maybe.

I should've remembered that. Going over the ins and outs of insects was my Science teacher's favorite thing to do for days when we didn't have anything else to do.


If you've never seen it, you should check this out for sure.

Buffalo vs. Lion vs. Crocodile

My first reaction was "Oh s**t, it's done now."

I'm rather happy I was wrong.  :-P

But hey, I did some research, Buffalo aren't pushovers anyhow. They'll whoop some ass if they have to.

Zebras!! Omgosh I need to find some awesome Zebra vids. They're nasty fighters!

I'm not surprised in the least, but it's still pretty cool to hear it confirmed  :-D :-D

Me to, I'm just surprised the killer whale didn't use the shark to play catch once it made sure it was dead :-D

If it was a smaller shark they might have.
