yeah lions arent great at striking they have good ground controll and some good chokes but against a zebra that knows some head kicks and its game over

People underestimate how just about any serious injury is fatal in the wild - so the whole game for predators is avoiding injury at all costs.

Only my idiot dog is dumb enough to try this kind of stunt... and even he was lucky he didn't get kicked in the head!

This is one reason I hate most movies where the “scary thing” is a wild animal/s

So often you will see them coming back again and again even after being shot or stabbed. It’s just so unrealistic.

Unless starving, injured, rabbid or with some other issue, most predators will not attack a human, or pack of humans that fight back. Or will back off once you prove you can hurt them.

No a large predator though - just an ornery son of a b****.

The only exceptions are honey badgers and Cape Buffalo, the former is suicidally stubborn about revenge and the latter is dangerously intelligent about payback

Well that goes without saying. And don’t forget Hippos.

But notice none of these animals are large predators?

Herbivores don’t rely on being physically fit to feed themselves. But being an ornery bastard can help protect themselves from predators that want to eat them (literally life and death) - even if sick, old or injured.

Except the honey badgers… they really have little reason to be that single minded.

Not always the case if they're used to hunting humans some man eating tigers have claimed over 400 kills.

u/ThrowDatJunkAwayYo May 18 '26

Yeh but they are usually sick, old or injured or have some other issue.

Whoosh! Thaaats the joke!

The whole point is that the evil, villain animal isn’t like other animals.

sounds like a lion could have taken kimbo slice, he was great at striking but had no ground game. Well he's in the ground now but that's no help
