It's likely that the anaconda would not win since the lion would claw and tear the anaconda with powerful claws and teeth, the elephant would stomp the anaconda to death, while the crocodile would bite and eat the anaconda. Thus, this leaves us with the lion, crocodile, and elephant. Again, the lion would not win because the elephant would trample the lion, and the crocodile would bite the lion with its jaws.

Bison originated in Eurasia. The bison is one of the few members of the bovine family to have crossed the Bering Strait land bridge in prehistoric times to North America, where now there are only two species to survive in North America. The plains bison and the wood bison. There is a species, the wisent, in Europe but that unfortunately is almost extinct and primarily survive in parks and zoos there. There were as many as 60 million bison that lived on the Great Plains from Mexico into Canada and some were found east of the Mississippi River. They were the central existence of the Plains Indians, who used every part of animal, nothing went to waste. From 1830 to 1889,methodical destruction by encroaching white settlers, for sport and hide only, reduced that number to less than 1,000, horrible. Today, about 30,000 bison live in protected areas and on ranches. These are some sad statistics that are far to common for animals that were here before we were.

Can an unsightly buffalo hump be corrected?

Have you talked with your doctor about your hump? This condition is typically associated with very specific causes and is therefore certainly worth getting checked out. Namely, Cushing's (it was described by Harvey Cushing in 1932) syndrome or disease (an excess of cortisol caused by a tumor), overuse of steroid medications (prescribed or not), extreme obesity, and use of certain medications to treat HIV.

If any of these are the culprit, treating the underlying condition is your best option.

Your doctor can perform a variety of tests in order to determine the source of the problem. However, there are plastic surgeons who can surgically reduce the size of the hump if it is truly bothersome - another reason to see your doctor, for a referral.

In addition to treating a hump, if it is Cushing's sydrome, the majority of Cushing's syndrome cases are caused by steroids. Therefore, the majority of cases are successfully treated by carefully tapering off the steroids that cause the symptoms. In cases of Cushing's disease, which is caused by a tumor, the disease can be successfully treated by surgery. Please see your own physician or medical adviser for effective treatment.
