Battle of the Alphas

The quest for real estate causes a lot of conflict.
Scroungers/Scavengers
S2 E6

Tasmanian devils get into food fights with rivals; how dung beetles roll over the competition; wild boars' fierce mating strategies; hyenas' bone-crushing teeth demolish any meal.

Colors & Patterns
S2 E7

The blonde manes of golden snub-nose monkeys; pink flamingo feathers brought on by an all-crustacean diet; the markings of gemsboks and cheetahs.

The Big Ones
S2 E8

A gorilla wrestling match, pushy moose antlers, long pelican bills that snap at any enemy within range, and a megashark's stereo sniffer.

Power
S2 E9

Sea lions throw their weight around to win a mate, Cape buffalo deliver knockout punches, Canada geese hit hard with their wings, and lionesses rule the Savanna with an iron paw.

Ugly
S2 E10

Warthogs' lumpy armor, giant African bullfrogs' jumping and biting skills, wild turkeys' sharp beaks and razorlike spurs, and Nile crocodiles' powerful jaws.

Loners
S2 E11

A glacial stroll alongside a Galápagos tortoise; dancing with venomous European adders; a battle between Lacerta lizards; leopard seals' stealth attacks.

Chatty/Communicative
S2 E12

Chatty capuchin monkeys; Eurasian river otters' chilling screams; fruit bats' loud complaints; orcas' human-scale speech systems.

Madagascar
S1 E1

Madagascar is home to strange animals not found anywhere else on Earth; when these animals fight for supremacy, their battles are just as strange, from weird neck-wrestling weevils to ring tailed lemur moms that go into battle with baby on board.

Australia
S1 E2

Australia is home to an eclectic array of creatures, and the ways to succeed as an alpha are just as diverse; the beach turns into a dueling ground and the outback becomes a boxing ring, as animals face off with their own kind.

India
S1 E4

Welcome to India - a land of exotic animals and exotic warfare; monkeys stage dusty dust-ups, blackbucks wage open war on the open plains, and peacock dandies swing switchblades: these are colorful battles worthy of a vibrant land.
