So widespread is the curiosity about which of two species of animals would prevail in a confrontation that the Discovery Channel has a TV show called Animal Face-Off devoted to addressing just that matter. On the show, experts appear and simulations (computer and physical) are performed before a victor is declared. In reality, though, there is no guarantee that either side prevails. Look at what happened to a Burmese python and an alligator after they got into it.
