Science badge: large animals task 24

Task:24** Describe and record the different aggressive behaviours of 3 types of animals.

Animal 1: African Lion (Panthera Leo): The only time Lions really show aggressive   behaviours is to other males. male lions will roar at each other. shake their manes and participate in mock charges, while sizing each other up. If there is a clear disparity, It is only when males are relatively evenly matched that a serious fight will break out, when the males will grapple with one another with their claws and bite as well. These fights can be to the death, which is why most dominance issues are resolved by displays.

Animal 2: Cape Buffalo: Cape Buffalo are ranked as some of the most dangerous and aggressive animals on the planet. Between mating spars and defensive attacks on predators these guys will make you poop your pants. The cape buffalo have been known to kill lions if they attack the herd and can outrun them. Overall the Cape Buffalo are more protective than actively aggressive.

Animal 3: Bull Shark: Bull sharks get their name for their behaviour. They have the highest testosterone levels of any animal..as well as the highest fatal shark attacks (by at least 10), most shark attacks (by more than 10 again) and can kill a saltwater croc with ease. So basically they are Chris Brown. on steroids and in water.. The way the hunt is quite unique in that they give the prey a chance to escape. First they bump you at this stage you should simply slowly swim to the shore keeping your eyes open for any strange ripples or currents. It will then attack, you should try to hit it on the nose and then run for it.
