Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Animal Face-Off was a Discovery Channel & Animal Planet documentary where two animals fight to the death in computer simulated battles at the end of the show. Before the actual fight, scientists test out the abilities of the animals. To avoid controversies of animal testing or the danger of trying to capture wild animals, they instead make molds of a skull of the animal and make it into a steel biting machine. There is usually at least one scientist on each side supporting an animal and, like two sports fans, they sometimes trash talk before the fight begins. The show lasted from March to September 2004 (reruns do occur, but they're extremely rare).

Always Someone Better: Although the lion beats the tiger in Asia, the lion could not beat the crocodile in Africa. Croc vs. Shark makes a brief note that as dangerous as great white sharks are, they are preyed on by killer whales.

Achilles' Heel: In some cases, even ONE weakness means death to the loser.

Animal Motifs: One can note some resemblances in look and attitude between some experts and their animals....is it a casual thing or not? Big cat expert Dave Salmoni acts like a young and rather perky showman; bear trainer Jeff Watson is a big guy with a shaggy beard and calm yet touchy temper; herpetologist Adam Britton is a lean, unflappable man with a bit of Deadpan Snarker when arguing with his rivals; finally, primatologist Tara Stoinski is a pretty woman (remember that apes and ladies are historically associated with each other in media).

Animal Jingoism: Cases in which an herbivore or other possible prey battles a predator, such as in Polar Bear vs. Walrus, Leopard vs. Gorilla and Colossal Squid vs. Sperm Whale. Big cats & crocodilians are often made out to be enemies, which is reflected in Lion vs. Crocodile.
