We often get men from the U.S. that think it would be a great picture moment to have the wife get a shot of them "Riding the Grizzly" in our parks. Every year without fail there are a few more widows. Never heard of them visiting for an actual square off though.

A Canada Goose protecting chics went after my wife years ago while she was biking to work. Left a nasty bruise on her arm. Of course I had a sign on the fence by the time she got home that day:

Dont get me wrong here, i know how to fight, since i am a green belt in juijutsu. (Graduated to green belt with broken rib and broken toe)
could do most things in blue belt too. (yes, we learned black belt techniques even as white belts, you get the point..)


However, i would NOT hesitate to run as fast as i could if i had a lion after me haha! (or at least try to..)
NOT a fight i want to pick!
those things are built to kill lol

Sentiment-wise with you 100%, but.. not much point running from a lion :naughty:
It's akin to covering your head with your hands after jumping off a skyscraper.

Gotta at least try scratching his ears or under his chin or something.
Hail mary, last ditch effort at not getting mauled and eaten.

I watched a vid of an octopus end up in a shark's mouth and it used it's tentacles to block up the shark's gills. When it couldn't breathe it let go of the octopus. That was pretty damn smart. Most of us would have died screaming.

So you never know. If you can poke out an eye or something on the lion you might survive if it runs off.

If I had to go out that way, I'd hope it's romanticized like at the end of Legends of the Fall. I want a wise old Native to be telling the story of how I was mauled to death and he says "It was a good death".

But since it's 2021, someone will probably film it on their cellphone while yelling "Worldstar Hip Hop!!" and post it on Youtube and the whole world will know I died screaming like a bitch. :laugh2:

Ask any man walking on God’s green Earth if they have a mate who severely overestimates their own ability in unarmed combat. They’ll reply by naming a “street-tough” operator before you can even finish the question. Overinflated confidence in this regard is by no means an unexplored phenomenon, especially when it comes to the male species. Although it has just reached all-time highs as a new survey reveals close to 10% of men actually believe they could beat a living, breathing lion in a fist fight.

The YouGov survey conducted in America posed a simple question with 34 different animals alongside humans: if it ever came down to a rumble in the jungle – random match-up, no holds barred, zero weapons involved – who would win? To absolutely no one’s surprise, elephants and rhinoceros’ ranked first with a 74% success rate, following by grizzly bears at 73%, tiger at 70%, hippopotamus’ at 69%, lions at 68%, crocodiles at 67%, alligators at 65% – which is also hilarious given how the crocs and gators are virtually identical killers – then gorillas and polar bears rounding out the top ten with 64% each.

That‘s fucking funny. :laugh2::laugh2:
All those animals would have a 99.9% success rate against humans. The only time the humans would win is if the attacking animal had a heart attack or found something better to do.

Gee, and I thought there were more dumb men than that out there.
I mean based upon the news that comes out of Florida it would be
more like 60% so the average I figure (AND I am bad with numbers)
is about, more like 37%.

See I told you I was bad with numbers.

The last sound you will hear is a crunching sound as your neck is crushed in the jaws of a lion who caught you with breaking a sweat.
