Interspecies Conflict/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer most questions relating to real or hypothetical situations. I have a better understanding of animal behavior and specifically predatory behavior and interspecies predatory relationships. Mammals is my field of expertise but I can do my best in answering questions regarding other animals. Small mammals are my favourite matchups.
Experience in the area
Even before completing my degree I considered myself an expert in mammal behavior. Doing my degree only furthered my interest and knowledge in the subject. After uni I got the opportunity to spend 6 months in South Africa and Kenya where I spent nearly every day basically observing and studying the animals of the savanna.
Education/Credentials
BSc Degree in Zoology from the Melbourne University, Australia.

Hi Gaurav. Yes, not sure how much longer I can keep this up, far too busy. I can't imagine our holiday season here is anything like what it is in India! Just lots of eating and drinking haha.

Hi Jessica Haha you'll need to clarify this. What type of cats? Vicious in what way? 1. This tiger should win easily. Far too much for the bears. 2. 50/50, basically nothing separates them.
2012-12-14 Dangerous Bovids:
Hey Jill. Not a problem :) 1. I'd go with the lionesses. The water buffalo is larger, but not as fast or aggressive as their usual prey, the cape buffalo, and thus not as dangerous. 2. If they can
2012-12-13 Fights, fights, fights:
Hey Martin, 1. Hard to compare really. We don't know how good the mastiff would be when compared to today's breeds. I would tentatively go with the BK though, as I think it may be the more athletic
2012-12-12 Dangerous Canadian animals:
Hi Nokoonta 1. None. 2. It's possible, but unlikely many if any have been successful. 3. No I wouldn't. I think any big cat could win the match up, but I wouldn't favour them to any great majority
