10% of US men think they can do this!

[Bobby Mahogany]

I was at the zoo one day and trailed behind my family looking at something.
Then I tried to see them in the distance and started to catch up.
I crossed a little bridge, unaware it was going over the big cats enclosure.
It was feeding time.
A tiger just roared for a second and my blood stopped running in my body.
The sound was so loud I really thought the tiger was right behind me.
He would have come up and I wouldn't have been able to move.
I was frozen still.

So we can imagine all we want, we never know how it's gonna go down.

I saw Lions lose to men eleven times last year.

That was a adolescent puma. If that was a full grown puma that dude would have been Puma scat.

All this time I thought pumas were just big, dumb easily duped cats!

I've seen video of how fast a lion can move when going after dinner, and there is nothing any of us could do to stop it.

I know someone who's come face to face with a full grown tiger once, and they're larger than lions

 

[DavGrape]

I've seen video of a male lion getting hold of a hyena.
Hoo, man.
And they just leave it, like a scarecrow.

 

[DavGrape]

tiger just roared

Saw some outdoor show once; tiger roar hurt your ears, fight or flee response kicks in, big-time.

About as close as it gets...
Before African-born players such as Dikembe Mutombo and Serge Ibaka became NBA stars, there was Manute Bol. Born in South Sudan to cattle farmers, his life was far different growing up than most NBA players, claiming that at 15 years old he killed a lion with a spear because it had attacked his family's cows.

I think those 10% of men who believe they could beat a full grown lion in unarmed combat are 100%delusional.

10% Of Blokes Believe They Can Beat A Lion In A Fist Fight

A new survey reveals close to 10% of men actually believe they could beat a living, breathing lion in a fist fight - find out more here.

www.bosshunting.com.au

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.

Man, I'd fucking love to see a lion fist fight someone. Maybe a roo? The roo would grab the lion and try to kick him while the lion uppercuts the hell out of that kangaroo. We're talking cartoon-style, lift him 5 feet in the air-type uppercut man, that'd be friggin hilarious!

This reminds me of a thread from another forum, wayyyy back. It was something about fighting a velociraptor and having your choice of one tool from Home Depot or something lmfao. The replies that thread got were epic.

 

[edro]

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.

Or was carrying a Henry Casull .454 AND got lucky...

When I was growing up, there was a stupid human trick that folks laughed about for years.... Some guys had been deer hunting, and were riding out in the back of a pickup on a dirt road... A buck jumped the road behind em and got tangles up in the fence. One certified dumbass whipped out his buck knife, screamed, jumped out of the truck, and proceeded to Tarzan that buck. A pissed off buck is one of the last things on this planet you want to fuck with. Long story short, They beat a couple of fancy high dollar shotguns almost apart beating that buck off of that guy so they could take him to the hospital to get sewed back together...

I've broad jumped a fence and climbed a damn tree to get away from a wild boar hog when out squirrel hunting as a young teen... They can kill your dumb ass too.... I could have shot it with the shotgun but I am positive that would have pissed it off worse....

Deer and a wild hog ain't shit compared to big cats, big bears, and such.... Anything folks hunt with .300WinMag & up, .45-70 Heavy, and any damn thing that ends in Nitro or H&H, about all you're going to do is make a grease spot..... If you look at the end of your barrel and there ain't no steel band completely around it holding the front sight on, you probably ain't got enough gun....

When I read the OP title I had to wonder....did it mean American men or us men as a collective?

That is the truth.

A pissed off buck will kill you 5 times before you hit the ground.
They ain't Bambi.

Even when well armed in bear country, I still feel like the bear has an unfair advantage...

 

[pmonk]

I wonder what the % of men believe they can win a firefight against 30+ well armed soldiers or man-eating aliens with one automatic weapon and 7 magazines?

 

[redcoats1976]

i would never try unarmed combat against a lion,or bear.hell,even a raccoon has bigger teeth than i do.i have taken on angry rottweilers on a couple of occaisions without being bitten.same dog both times.the second time he recognised me when he was about 4 feet away,but it was too late by then.he was lucky his owner came out the 2nd time...then proceeded to bite his owner.
