Artificial intelligence virtual combat determined the toughest animal on the planet
Rosiato/Scientists used advanced artificial intelligence technology to find out which of nature's animals is the true king of the jungle. In a simulated fight involving 256 species of animals, the African elephant, the largest animal on earth, won the final battle with the tiger and won the title of “Toughest Animal”.
The elephant used its tusks, a height of four meters and a weight of 10 tons to defeat a saltwater crocodile, which took third place, a giant squid and an African rock python.
These 13 dog breeds can kill the “King of the Jungle”.
The hippo came fourth in this strange race, followed by the leopard and the tiger shark. The polar bear was also seventh.
Ranking of the strongest animals
1. African elephant
2. Siberian tiger
3. Saltwater crocodile
4. hippopotamus
5. leopard
6. tiger shark
7. polar bear
8. Sarpawar Azim (the largest squid species)
9. Nile crocodile (common crocodile)
10. great white shark
“The elephant's stout physique, combined with its strength and intelligence, has long placed it at the top of the animal kingdom,” wildlife expert Dr. Deere told Science Illustrated.
“Our simulation was carefully engineered and used the chatGPT API to analyze each animal's distinctive characteristics – size, weight, strength, speed, offensive and defensive capabilities,” said Animal Match-up, which organized the 'fights'. . We created a battlefield where these magnificent creatures faced off in the closest possible to real-world scenarios.”
The magazine wrote about the elephant: “Showing unparalleled offensive and defensive capabilities, the elephant won the competition with eight wins and no losses, asserting its dominance over other skilled hunters.”
The Siberian tiger, beaten only by the elephant, was described as “a symbol of ferocity and agility” and the saltwater crocodile as “a blue giant”.
However, Dr. Deere, who is now with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, noted that it is very difficult to know how some animals interact with each other. “Still, it's a plausible study where AI makes logical guesses about how battles are played out,” he said.
