and a killer whale got into a fight, who would win and why?

Assume the croc is a 20 foot 3000 lbs monster, and the killer whale is also 20 foot and about 5000 lbs and the fight takes place in Seaworld.

Could the killer whale survive a bite from the monstrously powerful jaws of a croc (which has the strongest bite force of any animal in the world)?

  1. I think the croc would win too

    because it has the armor and the orca doesnt

    but thats just my guess=]


  2. Watch this

  3. hmm im not sure.

    i suppose the croc would win... unless the whale was alot faster under water and pulled some moves on it.

  4. I'd totally be rooting for the Killer Whale.

    By Seaword, what do you mean? Like the big, deep tanks? If so, all the Orca has to do is tier the Croc out. Because the Crocodile has nowhere to go and rest that the Orca cannot get to. (Score 1:0 Orca)

    Also, if the Crocodile tries to pull a 'Death roll' on the Orca and drag it down, the Orca can last longer underwater than the Croc.  Meaning the Crocodile will have to surface to get air sooner, therefore letting go. (Score 2:0 Orca)

    Orcas have readily go after reptiles as food, Crocodiles would not be as shocking to a Killer whale as a Killer whale would be to the Crocodile. (Score 3:0 Orca)

    Orcas have been know to use their own powerful jaws to crush Sea turtle shells- tough stuff. (Score 4:0 Orca)

    Finally, while Crocodiles mainly use their teeth to kill their prey Orcas often use complex hunting strategies to find and subdue their prey. Prey is killed by head-butting or by being slapped and stunned by a tail fluke also. They occasionally throw prey into the air in order to stun and kill them. Often, to avoid injury, they disable their prey before killing and eating it. This may involve throwing it in the air, slapping it with their tails, ramming it, or breaching and landing on it. (5:0 Orca)

    Yep, Orca wins.
