How am I changing my story? I never went back on it, I have already said several times that hawks have killed cats, with harris hawks doing the majority of killing. But there are more accounts of cats killing birds then birds killing cats. And I was on the falconry forum where the members are all from different countries ( but there are more british ones) |

Tyrannosaurus can't kill an Adult Triceratops face to face, even by ambush it would be very hard, i think it hunted young ones. ![]() |

But they fought, we found a healed bite mark, by T-rex on a Triceratops frill. I didn't want to say it would have won, I only wanted to admitt that it was an enemy. |

Are there reliable statistics about how many cats are killed by hawks and viceversa? Also, let's not forget that a lot of the killings probably are surprise aerial assaults, not face-to face. In any case, I'm a little skeptical in using housecats for these matches, since most of them are just pets that haven't much of a clue about fighting a wild predator. |

Actually, you believe it would kill an Ancylosaurus in more than 50% of all battles, but it would never kill a Triceratops? Also we found a pubis with T-rex bite marks, I doubt it scarevenged, because than it wouldn't have started there, it would have started at the flanks. It the pubis would have been the only thing left, it would have eaten the whole and not just bitten into it. That indiates that Tyrannosaurus was able to kill Triceratops. |

You wrote: "Tyrannosaurus can't kill an Adult Triceratops face to face" You once stated it would kill Ancyosaurus in more than 50% of all face to face battles, so why shouldn't it be able to kill a Trike? |

They are for sure stronger, especially because they're mostly a lot bigger. But we take about dogs vs. cats at party. |

ok..i spend 30minutes in google and some falconry boards (german) and can't find a single story of a goshawk killing a cat. Ok..maybe the goshawks in germany are weaker or the cats are stronger. |

I looked at http://www.falconryforum.co.uk/ and the vibe i got from there was dont send ur bird or prey after feral cats as it will get ripped to shreds most of the time, unless its an old cat or kitten. http://www.falconryforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=111643&highlight=feral+cats Edited by FelinePowah, Aug 1 2012, 03:58 AM.

Do note that I said "strong but inflexible". Like a boar or a pitbull. Not efficient coursers like wolves. Even then, though, I posted info comparing cheetahs and chimpanzees and-despite large difference in muscle mass of the limbs-cheetahs were still close. Edited by Ursus arctos, Aug 1 2012, 04:05 AM.

On the falconryforum they even say mink are a dangerous quarry for a goshawk. The only way any harris/goshawk could kill a cat is by surprise, face to face they don't stand a chance. |
