Feral defence vs general combat defence???

What is the difference between feral defence and general combat defence? Doesn't the later count towards defence against animals? Doesn't the former count towards defence against other player attacks??

This also includes attacks from animals or doesn't it?? Or is Feral defence the sole attack protection when it comes to animals???
