Answer Hi Dave
Spotted Hyena vs Moose: I would say the moose would win, this is because hyenas typically attack animals smaller than moose and would not powerful enough to bring one down easily.
Honey Badger vs Bobcat: The sheer ferocity of the honey badger would allow it to win, even if it didn't kill the cat it would drive it away.
Lion vs 5 coyotes: Most lions can fight off 5 hyenas which are larger and more powerful than coyotes so the lion would win easily.
Silver Back Gorilla vs Gray wolf: The gorilla would win, being stronger and much more dextrous.
Cougar vs African rock python: The rock python is the only African python that is a fair match for a cougar. Large rock pythons would probably beat the cat due to their strength however a cougar would kill an average rock python normally.
White rhino vs American Alligator: The gator would not stand a chance, it is not strong enough to drag a rhino underwater to kill it and a rhino could easily crush an alligator underfoot.
Nile crocodile vs musk ox: Nile crocodiles have been known to kill water buffalo which weigh about twice as much so a musk ox would be no trouble unless they fought well away from water as the croc would be at a severe disadvantage.
King cobra vs Raccoon: The raccoon would not stand much of a chance, even mongoose have trouble with king cobras due to their size and fast reactions.
Boa Constrictor vs Black bear: The bear would win, it is strong enough to snap the snake's spine or crush it's skull with one paw swipe.
