AboutDaniel Moellic Expertise I can answer a variety of questions on interspecies conflict including hypothetical questions. I can go into detail if necessary. I would also like to mention that I prefer questions on reptiles vs mammals or reptiles in general however my best topic is theropod dinosaurs.
Experience I have studied animals both living and extinct since I was 4 and was particularly fascinated by theropods. I am famous at school for knowing everything about various animals and how they behave
Education/Credentials I have an A* in biology (GCSE level)

Answer Hi Ker Hann
8 Velociraptors vs Siberian tiger: Though the tiger would put up a good fight I think that as long as the Velociraptors co-operated well they would wear down the cat and inflict deadly injuries.
Utahraptor vs a Cape buffalo: The Utahraptor would win, it's powerful kick and deadly claws would allow it to quickly kill the buffalo and it's speed and agility would allow it to avoid the buffalo's charges.
Charcharodontosaurus vs Wolly mammoth: The Carcharodontosaurus would probably win, it evolved to kill large herbivores and would be large enough to withstand a charge from a mammoth and still fight back.
Deinonychus vs Siberian tiger: The Deinonychus would definetly inflict a few injuries on the cat but the larger and more powerful tiger would be able to overpower the Deinonychus and kill it.
Velociraptor vs a bobcat: The larger and better armed Velociraptor would almost certainly win.
Deinosuchus vs Tyranosaurus Rex: The massive size of Tyrannosuarus would allow it to crush a Deinosuchus underfoot and the strength it's legs possessed would allow it to avoid being dragged under for a while. However a good bite from a Deinosuchus could break the shinbone. Really it would depend on how clear the water was, as long as the T.rex could see the croc it could avoid it and probably win.
Daspletosaurus vs bull African elephant: The Daspletosaurus would be likely to win. This is because Daspletosaurus is beleived to have preyed mainly on large ceratopians which,if correct, would mean it would have a good idea on how to fight and kill elephants.
Spinosaurus vs 15 enraged silverback gorillas: The sheer size and strength of Spinosaurus would allow it to kill all of the gorillas without having any harm inflicted upon it.
Quetzalcoatulus vs 4 Golden eagles: Despite it's size the Quetzalcoatulus would probably lose. This is due to the fact that pterosaurs were not built for air based combat and were not agile. Also their membranous wings were not as durable as feathered wings.
Short faced bear vs 2 female lions: The bear would win. It would kill the lioness in a few blows if not a single blow due to it's massive strength. Also bears are very durable and have great stamina.
3 Tiger sharks vs a Megalodon: The Megalodon would win purely due to it's size and massive jaws.
Musk ox herd againts a Deinonychus pack: The Deinonychus would win, wearing down the herd and picking off stray members. This is because a group of predators like Deinonychus will co-operate and co-ordinate their efforts productivelty whilst an oxen herd will only stay together for protection.
Nile crocodile vs Ceratosaurus: The Ceratosaurus would win, it could crush a crocodile underfoot and was a powerful swimmer and could almost match a crocodile for maneuverabilty and speed in water.
Thylacoleo carnifex vs 2 wolverines: I think that the sheer aggressiveness of the wolverines would drive off the Thylacoleo however if it didn't the Thylacoleo would win due to it's size and powerful bite.
Thylacoleo vs Dromaeosaurus: The Thylacoleo would win, it was more powerfully built and would overpower the reptile and crush it's neck or skull with it's jaws.
Anaconda vs a Dilophosaurus: The anaconda would win though it would have difficulty. However the Dilophosaurus' weak jaws and small teeth would allow the snake to escape serious harm.
