Head-to-head comparison using the same scoring engine as the interactive analysis below: size, mobility, weapons, durability, endurance, aggression, and intelligence — starting on land.

African Buffalo's movement advantage (60 km/h versus 24 km/h) gives it first-strike control and the ability to dictate range against Nile Crocodile. Nile Crocodile's bite can pose a real threat at close quarters, but closing that gap is the central tactical problem.
