AboutFady 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.

Question Hi Fady my dad works with animal patrol in Rwanda and he had to remove a 17 Foot dead crocodile from some body s yard what
do you think killed the crocodile.
What will happen if a group of Gorillas came in contact with a pack of coyotes.
I read in a 1975 book that a pack of wolves killed a fully grown moose is this a usual occasion.
thank you
Answer Hi, Mike
It's an interesting question, and somewhat of a mystery; such crocodiles generally don't have anything to fear other than poachers and the like. However, I suppose humans would have taken the croc themselves if they finished killing it, or it was rather humans who killed the croc out of fear. Other possibilities could be a pride of lions, or large lion, hippo, rhino, elephant, or possibly even another large croc gave the croc a fatal injury. Now, if you could give me a description of the crocodile's injury (or injuries), including the type of injury (scar, holes, puncture marks, lacerations and the location of the marks and an estimation of how many there are) I would perhaps give you a more likely conclusion.
As for your other questions, a pack of coyotes wouldn't be much of a match for a troop of gorillas and it's unlikely they would attempt to hunt one. Now a pack of wolves killing a moose does occur, however such instances are rather time to time occasion; wolf success rate on moose has been recorded as low as 10%. Since there is other less risky prey around (such as elk, or caribou) wolves are smart enough to attempt to hunt one of them rather than a moose. Often, when moose is brought down it's during winter when these behemoths can get sick or infected easier.
