Thanks, I still can't get over how damn big those things are! Here's some fights on a much smaller scale: Scorpion feeding on equally large centipede:  "A large buthid scorpion (Grosphus sp) feeding on an equally large centipede (Scolopendra sp)" Another:

Well it says not intended. But if itll make you happy ill delete em. But obviously that pic is still on here and no ones in trouble. Howdo we know that spider vs pede you posted wasnt staged or in a terranium? Also superpredator showed an account for the pic. They were fighting, not playing. Same here as well and here. I'm not the villian. Edited by Black Ice, Nov 10 2012, 09:52 AM.

Hmm, are those tigers/lions/coyote/dog in a pit to fight to the death as those centipedes/spiders/scorpions in your pics were? And I'll use your silly strawman here, how do we know that any of these pictures here are not staged?  Use some common sense! Edited by 221Extra, Nov 10 2012, 10:49 AM.

Whatever friend. If it's so dastardly bad I'm sure ursus or taipan will do something  Have a nice day! Edit: ursus recently viewed this thread and didn't say anything about it. If it was wrong, he'll let me know, then i won't ever do it again. Happy? Edited by Black Ice, Nov 10 2012, 10:52 AM.

Nah, they're in a nest and the fox appears to be relaxing in some way, there's also no sign of a struggle. |

White Rhinoceros cow with Calf vs Bull Elephant: On arrival at one of my favorite waterholes in Madikwe Game Reserve late one afternoon, we where fortunate enough to find rhino, elephant, lion and some general game all around the same waterhole. While watching all the animals all go about their business drinking and mud bathing, I noticed one of the younger bull elephants, full of bravado, start approaching a female rhino with a calf.  Knowing elephants usually like to dominate a waterhole, I told the guests to watch and see if we might witness an interesting interaction. As the elephant closed in on the rhino, she immediately turned on him and stood her ground with her calf right behind her! The elephant gave a charge toward her, but she stood her ground again. As soon as the bull stopped the charge, the rhino rushed back at him scraping her feet as she went forward, lifting dust to make the scene even more dramatic and intense!  Eventually, after eying each other for a while, the elephant thought it was best to move on and quickly retreated. The stand-off lasted for probably less than 2 minutes but was quiet intense. Seeing these two giants of Africa standing toe-to-toe is hair-raising, but I feel that the mother rhino’s instinct and tenacity won the day, leaving us with the old saying in mind: “does size matter?” http://blog.africageographic.com/safari-blog/bush/tense-stand-off-between-elephant-and-rhino/ Young lucky Elephant bull vs White Rhinoceros Bull: I think we can honestly say if not for the use of the log that particular Elephant wouldve been in big trouble & it also shows that intelligence can play a role in inter specific conflict for those who don't believe it does. Black Rhinoceros Cow with Calf vs Bull Elephant: This morning brings unpleasantry between elephant and rhinoceros. For no apparent reason except perhaps to throw his weight around, the young bull charged a rhino mother with half-grown calf. It was a complete African tableau: Cape Buffalo in the background, not to mention Kori Bustard, Red-billed Oxpeckers on the rhino, Cattle Egrets trying to get out of the way; even flamingoes in the distant lake. The rhino mom stood her ground for a moment, with her calf behind her. But no one backs down a bull elephant in these parts. It ended with rhino mom and calf galloping away in full retreat.  http://www.ownbyphotography.com/traveldiaryp93.html White Rhino and Lion:
