4 Top Predators That Are Hunted By Other Predators
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- An apex predator or top predator is a predator at the top of the food chain. Top predators or apex predators have no natural predators but you could argue that this term doesn't really make sense. Most so called apex predators are hunted by other predators and most predators are preyed upon at some point in their life cycle. In this video i will be going through just a few top predators that are preyed upon by other predators as i will be going through 4 top predators that are hunted by other predators.

Imagine being so unbeatable, you become a picky eater in the wild.
Don't we humans did that?
That's how a species can actually more of less evolve itself out of the food chain. Humans pulled it off centuries ago or longer.
Evolving out of the food chain doesn't mean that individuals can't still be hunted. We humans get eaten all the time. However, as a species, we have simply ceased to be a factor within the greater food chain itself. We no longer really contribute to it in many meaningful ways, even in death. Instead, we completely dominate, manipulate, and control food chains to our own benefit.
The Orca may very well be headed in that direction as well, given a few million more years. The only real exception is the 'in death' part because, unlike us humans, they don't have the ability to separate their deceased from the rest of the food chain. Killer Whales can't mummify or cremate their dead.
As humans, we are apex above all apex predators and can eat anything we like and do! 😳

Tigers preying on wolves is a very overlooked predator hunting predator dynamic
Exactly, in Russia, tigers have reduced the wolf populations to localized extinction in some regions. Wolves flee to other regions to avoid decimation by tigers. At any chance they get, Amur tigers actively hunt down, kill, displace and eat wolves.
I hate the fact that this happens, but sadly, nature is brutal, especially such a massive, highly territorial apex predator like the tiger.
Wolves jump them in Russia
@@thereeper8849actually tigers aren’t responsible for that people are.
@@thereeper8849 i highly doubt that. Tigers hunt alone. Wolves does not. Even though a wolf alone stand no chance at all against a tiger, a pack of wolves is something else entirely. Wolves are very intelligent and knows how to work as a team. Most likely the tiger would run away. It may win a fight, but at a very high cost, so it would probably run when facing a pack of wolves.
@@Indy44636 A tiger could easily kill even several wolves at once. Thats why wolves flee to other regions to avoid decimation by tigers. It would take a large pack of wolves to take on a tiger, and even then, the wolves will have to sacrifice some pack members in the fight.
Giant river otters. Absolutely terrifying lol
I agree they sound like demon Rugrats
And thay r hunted by caimans and jaguars. We can't proof thay are also consumed by anacondas but probably thay do
Yeah, even jaguars fear them when they are in groups, here in Brazil we call them "ariranhas" they are a very dangerous animal
Sadly they're not apex predators 😔
Another one that comes to mind is Giant/Colossal Squid and Sperm Whales.
Yes but yo mama
@@ThePunisher-si8exbro got the whole world laughing
Indian Leopard are also preyed upon by Bengal tigers. They're also attacked by sloth bears.
But leopards and sloth bears aren't top predators, but they are still very dangerous animals.
@@edgarrojas5060Actually there are many forested regions in India where there aren't any Tigers presemt, so in this places Leopard is the Apex predator.
But in some rare cases Tigers from other regions might travel over and prey upon the Leopard.
Nobody cares about endia
And crocodiles
@Rubixcat1leopard is the top predator in Sri Lanka
You showed an image of one. Leopard Seals are large, vicious, and aggressive predators, hunting almost anything in their waters, including smaller seal species, but they're just another of the many prey found on the Orca menu.
Orcas are Apex in the water.
@@timothychung4811Who is Apex on land
@@Josh.PointerPolar Bear
@@mvttzthey run from Grizzlies though.
*Orca’s is the Top Predators of the Ocean 🌊💯*
Not top, 2nd. Human is the top
A true apex predator not a lot of people know, is the Komodo Dragon. They're utterly unrivaled to the point where they can have a good night sleep.
There is no such thing as a true apex predator because humans hunt just about everything
A lot of that has to do with their habitat. They wouldn't be apex if they shared space with saltwater crocs.
@@brucebc6518if I'm not mistaken, they used to. Komodo Dragons and Saltwater Crocs did inhabit the same area in the past.
That's because there are no other large predators there. A Komodo dragon would be easy prey for tigers, lions, bears, packs of wolves, hyenas, crocodiles etc
@@kristianschuff1723 yep, I agree, humans are the apex predators, unless you’re a weak vegan lol
Lion and Hyenas are two common rivals but they probably don't eat each other mostly they kill each other for dominance, protection of their pride, cubs and food and to get rid of future problems
Hyenas will absolutely eat a dead Lion
Lions vary
A fully grown, male brown bear is never being taken out by a tiger, the size and weight differential is just too much.
It's from tigers sneaking into dens and attacking hibernating bears and then their cubs. A tiger won't attack a conscious and aware brown bear unless it was starving
Daryl is correct, tigers don’t hunt fully grown brown bears
So the movie Orca intro wasn't an exageration after all huh. Also, unpopular opnion, I think its better than Jaws. Nice video ❤
I lived that Orca movie. Both Orca and Jaws are great movies. But Orca did not play with revenge. Showed the intelligence of the Orca.
Yes The Orca movie is better than Jaws. Humans were the real monster.
Yep. An orca is over twice the size of a great white shark, and their intellect means they know the most energy efficient way to kill a shark.
Using their greater size and strength, they flip the shark on its back. Sharks can’t move if they’re flipped on their backs. If they don’t move, they suffocate. This allows the orca to wait for the shark to slowly die and then they eat the liver.
That is another scary detail. An orca is intelligent enough to know where to find a sharks liver and cut it out. They don’t need to eat the whole shark deliver is nutritiousness enough to fill them up.
Still the way they each a specific organ makes or cause that hunt great white shark sound like serial killers.
That first segment was truly eye-opening. Thought this was a quality channel.
8:23 ain’t nothing that would even attempt to hunt the Arnie, he’s the planets super predator
many have tried and failed
Arnie the king of the neighborhood😂
Always great Photography- Thank you
This needs a part 2!!! I love this. Maybe the wolf and puma?
Puma’s hunt wolves or is it the other way around?
I’d like to propose Mosquito as a top predator. That’s because it kills more humans than any other creature. Some say about 2M per year!
If mosquito does all that, i can't even imagine what El Mosco can do
They are not preying, they are parasites.
They themselves have too many predators
and it's the diseases they carry that the female mosquito carries that kill humans( they don't even drink blood as a food source it's for reproductive reasons that they do so and males don't bother us)
@@brucebc6518mosquitoes don't count as Ectoparasites.
Great video but jaguars dont hunt full grown black caiman, they hunt juviniles and subadults.
Nice video bro 👌
The polar bear is very close to a true apex predator
Also Bangal tiger vs sloth bear is often overlooked, those small bears may lose often but they’re insanely aggressive amongst all bears
I love Polar Bears so this hurts to say but they get absolutely bodied by Walruses...
Even though Polar Bear is the biggest bear species unfortunately anywhere that their territory got overlapped with grizzly they got bodied.
@@ngunguyen8560 that's just cannibalism lol, they are sister species only diverging between 130k - 250k years ago.
@@dagame0329 That's not cannibalism my guy. They have to be the same species for it to be cannibalism.
Brown bears are actually more brutal
Your videos never fails to impress me 🎉
Love your videos! 👍 And Arnie always makes me smile 😍
I'm glad you like them and i'll keep them coming :)
@@TsukiCove Please do longer videos 😄 We learn alot from them!
Apart from humans, the Orca is the top predator!
The only rivals to orcas are humans and bull sperm whales.
Sharks look scary but not to an Orca 😅
I'm not sure about that last one. I can't picture a Jaguar taking down an adult black caiman
They mainly target smaller individuals whenever they hunt black caiman. Which are females and subadults as an adult male black caiman is too risky and could clap the cat back.
They go for the smaller ones. A fully grown adult would require a tiger on crack to take down.
@brandonshepherd7790 of the smaller Yacare caiman. Not black caiman
There are a lot of videos showing it online.
I already saw a comment about the Indian leopard being hunted by bengal tigers but in africa Its basically the same thing with african leopards and lions but ill also mention hyenas being hunted by lions
This kind of information is the reason the concept of the food chain is obsolete. What really exists is more of a food web.
Thank you
I think a Tiger can only kill a Bog Brown bear when they sleep
Maybe you could do your personal favorite animals
Giant squid and sperm whales. Nile crocodile and African lion. There's a video of a crocodile taking out a lion. And python vs. alligator.
Jaguars are amazing animals
lets go I'm early
I believe I read something about Polar bears eating orca stuck on ice back then when I was a kid in the library.
For some reason seeing a grasshopper mouse kill shit that normally most mice would flee from is hilarious, just straight up eating scorpions and giant centipedes, plus it squeals at the moon like a wolf😂
Giant River Otters deserve a mention; they have been known for terrifying even Jaguars with their ability to ambush in large groups.
Please correct me if i'm wrong but dont sperm well predate over orcas and vice versa????
Orcas do prey on Sperm Whales, whereas AFAIK, Sperm Whales don't prey on Orcas, but male Sperm Whales will sometimes attack/chase off an Orca pod.
Jaguars may not be the biggest of the big cats but is honestly the most gangster in my opinion.
‘World isn’t black and white’ shows a zebra 😏
Arguably.. Polarbear vs Greenland shark.. ARGUABLY. It depends a lot on opinion.
It seems more like the slow-ass shark that usually sticks to deeper waters than the Polar Bear just scavenges dead corpses.
I’ve heard of one attack of an Orca against a human in the wild. It was a case of mistaken identity, the orca immediately left, the human survived.
They probably are smart enough to know not to fuck with the 2 leg walking monkey since they have seen the shit we are capable of.
Actually the true reason why they don't eat us is because we're rotten from the inside there's nothing desirable within us for them to open us up for. so what do they do the uses for assistance whenever they need help @@thodorosxanthopoulos
Nothing escapes a determined Bunyip or Drop Bear. Total apex predators.
You are just a fan of Jaguars but they never target adult Black Caimans. Black Caiman is the true king of Amazon.
I've seen a video of a colombian female jaguar hunting down a 7m anaconda, but i dont think a jaguar could targer a full grown black caiman
Orcas (or killer whales) have been actually see running away from pilot whale that actively chase them. That said orcas can also hunt pilot whale but the situation is more similar to the relationship between the Siberian tiger and the brown bear than you would expect
I would include the Harpy Eagle.
Similar to the fourth segment of this video: Great White Shark vs Saltwater Crocodile.
Who is the predator in this scenario?
@@Alex-dr2lp Both of them. It can go either way.
@@Alex-dr2lp GWS are much bigger and heavier than the Saltie but they both can grow to around the same length - around 6m at maximum, most are much smaller though. If a GWS was in very shallow water near a beach perhaps then the saltie would have a chance... if it was a small GSW.....but in deeper water, the shark would just attack from below like it does with seals and the croc wouldn't know what hit it....game over. (The shark could also grab the croc and dive deep to drown it as Crocs needs to breathe air)
@@pietropes1322bro thinks gws can grab and drown the croc as if the croc won't do shit
I’m thinking of leopard seals being preyed on by orcas but I guess orcas are already mentioned here.
There is actually more cases of bears killed by Siberian Tiger either brown or black there’s been up to almost 30 cases of bears being killed by Siberian Tigers
There's been way more than 30 cases of tigers killing brown bears and black bears. There's COUNTLESS cases throughout history. Siberian tigers regularly hunt and kill bears, including adult bears. Bears are common prey for tigers. Just recently in 2022, a large adult male brown bear was slaughtered and eaten by a tiger in the Khekhtsir reserve.
There are only extremely rare, old outdated cases from the last century of brown bears killing tigers (females & young). Either in self-defense or in kill-disputes. In the last 30 years, biologists never found a single case of a brown bear killing even a little tiger cub.
What was said in this video about tiger-brown bear relations is clearly wrong. Its generally a one-sided relationship of tigers dominating, hunting, killing and eating brown bears.
@@thereeper8849you are wrong! A tiger is not taking down a Kodiak Bear, a Polar bear, head on and that Tiger lived. Stop it!
@@kcorpora1there are kodyak bears in russia?
That's wrong information tigers target cubs and bears that are in hibernation not fully grown adult males
The fact that you think black and brown brears are in the same category tells all we need to know
Watch the wild drama unfold as these top predators become the prey! Nature's hierarchy is ever-shifting, and it's a jungle out there. Don't miss the epic battles and cunning strategies in the animal kingdom. 🌿🌍
Don't polar bears get packed up by walruses sometimes? Also, a lion is the king of the jungle until a pissed-off hippo shows up
And a elephant says how cute now both of you get out of my way
@@kristianschuff1723 probably
It's predators and prey, not fighting.
@@brucebc6518 I am aware of how the animal kingdom works
The orca are the gangsters of the ocean...size, numbers and intelligency...
Giant or Collossal Squid and Sperm Whales would have been cool to include (Sperm Wheels feeding on the colossal and giant squids which are otherwise apex predators).
i thought caimans were TINY 😭😭
depends entirely on the species. Cuvier's dwarf caiman for example is among the smallest and weigh around 6kg
Don't Forget [ Sperm Whale ]
It's Can Kills Orca Pod
Generally sperms whales don't HUNT orca pods, they just feel threatened by their presence…and this is kinda a video about hunting soooo…
Excellent and fascinating as ever! ❤ The bear vs tiger seems to contradict my assertion that predators rarely take large risks when selecting their prey. I can't help but speculate if the brown bears hunting tigers have had their babies killed by them ...
They usually don’t unless they’re desperate.
ily tsuki
The polar bear!
Eagles preying on wolves is insane and risky
Outro song?😁
… that time when Baloo beat up Sheer Kahn, it just didn’t get the same hype. 😄
Lol tigers don't prey on fully grown large adult brown bears. They'd die in almost every encounter and barely survive to escape in the rest. Tigers are tied with Manatees as my favorite animals, but there isn't a felid on this planet that is successfully preying on large healthy adult brown bears. Maybe on one of the very much smaller sub species they could pull off, but tigers get worked on by Sloth bears, which are black bears, yea tigers hunt and eat them if they need to, but it's usually such a dangerous fight that a tiger will do just about anything to avoid the fight. I love tigers, they are amazing and the best, but nature took its time with bears, and anything short of a Hippo, Rhino, Elephant, etc ain't gonna win that battle without a major handicap in its favor. Some brown bears are nearly the same size as large Polar bears, and yea a tiger is immensely powerful and if they could land a sneak attack specifically with their paw swipe they might be able to concuss or even kill the bear...the problem is trying to sneak up on something that can smell you from an area code away. Any tiger that has ever eaten a brown bear either found a dead carcass and snacked on it, or attacked and killed a way smaller brown bear. When they get full size it's just too much strength, power, and aggression to handle, even for the largest of the big cats. Bears are larger, much heavier, have much stronger jaws, layers of loose skin and fat around their vital organs (particularly their necks which is where tigers mostly go to), and have survived as long as they have fighting other adult brown bears...sorry, tiger is getting absolutely ragdolled and ripped apart unless it gets the fuck outta dodge. Now some unexpected animals have killed large bears before, such as bison, bison have charged and hit a bear going full speed and completely wrecked its internal organs with the smash, but thats super rare. Big brown bears can decapitate a moose with one swing, you think a 500lb cat is going to hold up better against that paw swipe than an extremely dense and muscular moose that is more than twice the cats weight? Not a chance.
A brown bear has about the same jaw pressure as a tiger! Tiger 1100 psi, bear 1200 psi!!
So why in organised fights a lion has killed a grizzly bear?
@@TonyL2567was the grizzly fed/in breeding season/a mother/fully grown? Even if lions know how to fight, a tiger's swipe can crush a bear's skull. Now imagine what a grizzly's swipe would do to a lion.
@@jyotiradityasinghchauhan8865 listen I couldn’t give a shit if a grizzly could beat a lion or vice versa, I’m just telling you what I read,
maybe a video about prey animals that kill apex predator?
Jaguars hate places with big caimans because that can goe wrong. Somtimes the jaguar fail
7:59 I need to debunk this crap. 1st of all jaguars have been seen deliberately avoiding areas with large black camian In them. Secondly jaguars only attack young or small black caimans a jaguar will never hunt a full grown Black caiman. Lastly most of the time they hunt smaller caiman species like yacare or spectacled caimans because those species are much smaller and will pose less of a fight. In reality, jaguars will avoid full grown black caiman because they are much larger and more powerful than a jaguar. I’m tired of people saying that the jaguar is the dominant predator of South America because they “kill black caiman”. Adult male black caiman are the dominant predator of South America only truly rivaled by Orinoco and American crocodiles.
Most of the caimans would never reached adulthood. Jaguars are definitely dominant in these areas
Lol no did you read my comment? Like I said jaguars only hunt small individuals and other species of caimans. Adults are FAR too large for a jaguar to handle. Also there is literally evidence of big cats avoiding areas with large black caimans in them. I think you’re getting confused with the different species of caimans.
Do research bc jaguar fanboys like you think that jaguars can kill black caimans even though black caiman are over 2x the size lol
Speaking of brown bears have you heard of the bears of Kootznoowoo which are some the largest bears on earth?
They are smaller than Kodiak.
@@ngunguyen8560 I didn’t say that they weren’t
Leopard seal. Is an apex predoter hunts other seals and fish and can reach a 800lb of budy weight... Allthough the Orca is the only predtor for them
Humans are predators to everything
I didn't see a recent video on RUclips that claimed that a certain type of whale and I believe they said they were pilot whales that will prey on Orcas
American alligator. Tiger. Bald eagle.
All of the comments are saying the same thing but no one thought of cobra vs mongoose? Pretty much all fish, insects and birds fit this category as well.
There is only animal that can be at the top of the every food chain is human
What about salties vs great white sharks?
In Darwin harbour Australia, there are many accounts of Saltwater Crocodiles biting sharks in half, bull sharks and juvenile white sharks...some of the giant ocean going Saltwater Crocodiles, the 6 or 7 metre ones, eat anything they want!
Hyenas are often hunted by lions
Wild dogs often fight hyena s
It's a predator eat predator world out there
Humans preying on Shark is another example.
What about the leopard seal?
The irony of saying it's not black and white" at the beginning..when the top predator in the ocean is black and white...not hating I love your videos
Polar bears can also kill grizzlies but I feel like that’s a gimme
Number 1 Top predator ever: human
Polar bear vs orca
I don't think a tiger or lion can take a brown bear in a straight fight. It'd have to be an ambush.
What a shock that all these apex species can be killed when sick, injured, greatly outnumbered or to old to defend themselves.
I found out that Pilot whales are rivals of Orcas and will harass and attack Orcas. The two groups avoid each other.
I just saw that a few days ago fr🫡
Wolves will on occasion go after Brown Bear. Usually it's the old sick, but mainly the young. Circling around the mother and harassing her until they can pick off a cub or two.
Are Leopard seals classed as apex predators in there own enviroment
Tigers are the emperor of land and orcas/killer whale are the emperor of ocean
Tigers are my favourite animal. I literally have a tattoo that covers one whole side of my abdomin of a siberian tiger that i got when i was 16. I love the mix of brute strength and agility, the cunning and vengeful nature and how well they can blend in and remain completely undetected...but im a realist. Even the largest most powerful siberian or bengal tiger is not surviving an encounter with a large brown bear such as a kodiak or grizzly. Unless the tiger is able to take that bear by complete surprise while its sick or starving, or in hibernation.
Those bears are just too big and powerful and they can smell a tiger coming from miles away.
Mountain lions
Bengal tigers are the largest mainland population
How is Arnie doing?
3 of the 4 apex of the apex predators mentioned here will happily come after humans except for 1. If Orcas ever decide we're on the menu...good luck.
As i understand it, Polar bears and orca are the only true apex predators but i think sperm whales might also qualify.
A huge caiman which is 6m in size how on earth it gets eaten by a jaguar, perhaps
Smaller caiman or crocodiles, but a male adult fully grown Caiman or crocodile will devour in one moutwhole a jaguar, no match whatsoever and in actual fact it will hunt the Jaguar. So all the pictures they showed there are small caima no longer than 2
Mts, in regards to the other ones you are right.
I’m willing to bet bears are killing tigers more than the other way around
I’m pretty sure a great white shark could defeat a sick or smaller orca
It wouldnt. It would flee
An Siberian Tiger would be an easy meal for a Kodiak Bear
It would be difficulthe tiger could ambush it obviously the bear has the power to kill the tiger
In your opinion,
How dumb you can be
Hippos are also terrifying
But they aren’t apex predators
@@TonyL2567 ya surely not only apex predotors I can think of are a pod of orcas.no matching them.
Not a predator, but are the cocaine hippos hurting the black caiman population? Are do they even share the same river system/lake.
Pilot Whale hunt some clans of killing Whale
Do orcas not attack other types of sharks?
Yes, Orcas eat anything they want, great whites included...seals, penguins and whales too...
Oof, did we forget the Sperm whale? 5:05
Polarbear would’ve been fair
