Interspecies Conflict/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer any question on land carnivores. Big cats are my main area of expertise. I can answer questions on weight, behavior, and on any possible match-up among mammals, reptiles and insects. I am not very well informed with dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, so please refrain from asking me questions about them. Just modern animals please. Also questions on bite force are not the best, as they vary greatly.
Experience in the area
I am a wildlife enthusiast. I have visited countless zoos globally to observe animal behavior, and i have also seen animals such as Rhinos, Elephants and Big Cats in the wild and synthetic environments. I watch nearly every animal documentary available, and have really acquired considerable knowledge of animals and animal conflicts as a result. I know a lot.
Publications
I have written several articles on Wikipedia. I also will soon start writing blogs about Big Cats.
Education/Credentials
I have a C grade at GCSE Science. However, nothing gives you more knowledge than experiencing animals in the flesh. No qualification can give you that kind of insight.

2009-11-23 Rat VS. Cat:
Hi Colin! Rats do have great defensive abilities, it's true. Agile, resourceful and can be extremely aggressive when cornered. A Cat-sized Rat would definitely be a tough competitor, but it's out-matched

Hi Luke! Nice to see you on here! Let's get going: 1. If the Leopard was big and encroaching 90kg, it could definitely win on land. Being cold-blooded, the Alligator has limited stamina that would

Hi Joseph. Nice to see you here. Let's go: 1. Well the Elephant obviously would be the best bet. The largest large animal would be extremely hard, borderline impossible to encoil. The best it would

Hi again Brad! How's it going? Let's go: 1. Well, in an enclosed space conflicts are bound to arise. The Komodo dragons would be wary of such a big animal, but if they got hungry, it would be another

Hi again Nicholas! 1. The Lynx cab definitely defeat a Rottweiler in battle, even with a weight disadvantage. The cat is much stronger than the dog relatively, and has more weapons. Now, a Lynx is not
