Animal Face-Off: Wolf vs Cougar

The Discovery Channel is a wonderful thing. You learn such amazing facts whenever you watch it. Like today's episode of Animal Face-Off, where they pit two virtual animals together to see which one would win in a fight. They use animatronics and computer simulations, along with scientific research on behavior, to analyze fighting strategies and strengths and weaknesses. For instance, if a great white shark were to meet a salt-water crocodile, the shark would kick the croc's ass at sea. Or if a rhinocerous were to tangle with an elephant, the elephant would crush the rhino under its weight. But if a tiger goes at it with a lion, the tiger just made a deadly mistake because that big fluffy mane is good for more than just satisfying the lion's vanity. Neat, huh?

Well, today's episode was of particular interest to me. Today, two of North America's top predators met face-to-face (in cyberspace) to battle it out for hunter supremacy: the wolf versus the cougar. I figured I'd share the results with you, my friends... I know that at least a few of you (*cough* redwolfoz and pheral *cough*) will be interested in the findings. >:D

In one corner... ( Here, kitty, kitty! )

But not to be outdone... ( His bite is *way* worse than his bark! )

But how will the lone wolf fare against a roaming cougar? According to all of Animal Face-Off's analyses and data, here's what would happen... ( if cat meets dog! )

Tell me, who would you root for? :D
