About Fady D. Isho
Expertise
I can answer any questions dealing with any factor of interspecies conflcit, this being fighting styles, weaponry, "..." vs "...", animal interaction, food chians, food webs, etc... I can also answer questions regarding mammals, and reptiles. Most particulary those of canines, hyenas, felines, ursids, crocodilians and constrictor and as well as venomous snakes. Although ridiculous questions will not be replied to. Among these animals, these are the ones I can help with the most: Anatomy/physiology Behavior; territorial, mating, hunting, and diet Conservation

Experience
To date, I'm still finishing up high school. Although, I've had experience with animals both in and outside of the field. I've also read about animals (wild) most of my life.

mountain Gorilla vs brown hyena
thank you  

Answer
Hi, Danny

Leopard vs Cape buffalo: sometimes even whole prides of lions fail to bring down a cape buffalo, I doubt a leopard would be able to bring down an adult. Leopards are smart enough to stay to stay away from such powerful prey, however.

I'm sorry I can't answer your second question, bulls aren't wild animals so I'm no expert with them.

Hippo vs American alligator: an American alligator has an extremely powerful jaw and can use it to rip most prey animals apart. But not the hippo, they can handle most Nile crocs (which are larger, stronger, and more aggressive than American alligators) by simply displaying their tusks. The hippo would win.

Gorilla vs Boa constrictor: I have a hard time seeing this fight, although I believe the largest constrictors would win, although the smaller boa constrictors would probably be at a disadvantage.

Gorilla vs Brown hyena: a gorilla is larger, stronger and has more weapons than a brown hyena. I believe a lone hyena would be at a disadvantage.

Best regards,
'   Fady
