<P> Animal Face - Off is a television program that aired on the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet in 2004 . </P> <P> This program, produced by NHNZ, centers on hypothetical battles between two animals that could meet in the wild, or, in some cases, have been compared to each other by scientists . CGI replicas and models were used to collect data (such as strength, bite force, etc .) about the animals . Then, in a virtual arena, a brief computer - animated fight scene reveals the results . Some people have declared this show similar to the hit Spike TV show Deadliest Warrior . Since the fights are created artificially, results in real life may vary . Each episode of Animal Face - Off is 1 hour long, with the exception of the 12th episode, which is 2 hours long . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> No. in . series </Th> <Th> Animals </Th> <Th> Location </Th> <Th> Winner </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> "Saltwater Crocodile vs. Great White Shark" </Td> <Td> Australia </Td> <Td> Great White Shark </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="4"> A female great white shark is roaming close to shore, looking for food; A saltwater crocodile swims nearby, looking for a new territory .
