Best Answer

Animals have various defense mechanisms. Most have teeth, so they can bite. Others have claws or horns to scratch and gore. Long-legged animals can kick with their hooves. A distasteful scent, like one used by a skunk, is another method. Alligators use their tails, and large animals, like elephants, have sheer bulk.
