The African Lion vs. The Spanish Fighting Bull

The African Lion:

Both animals face a bloody duel in which one will live. Both animals are males and are in its peak and will be faced with a distance of 10 meters.

Who will win this battle?

The Spanish Fighting Bull:

Lion eats the bull.

Mismatch. Lions go toe to toe with buffaloes... come on.

This is not a battle between comic characters, so it belongs in the Off-Topic Forum.

There have been countless non-comic battles here...Samurai, Spartan, Jason, Freddy, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc

There's supposed to be at least one comic character in each battle. Battles between two animals clearly don't belong in this forum.

Posts like this are reminiscent of the classroom pet, "Professor, you forgot to give us homework". Quit crying about it, there are countless battles on here that aren't comic-related, just don't open the thread if you don't want to comment. /Thread

@fannybuster: well said man .

While this is true, it is still frowned upon and against the rules.

If you insist. But come on, that's not the point of this website. Go to animalbattles.com if you want to know who'd win between a lion and bull.

bull would win these guys are stronger than a small pick up truck and are crazy mad one hit from the horns or kick the liuon would die these are also the fastest and strongest of bulls, very athletic lions die from buffalo who arent as strong or mean as these guys

@johnnyz256 On the page there are countless battles that are not related to the comics, in this case, yes it were strictly comics, most of the battles would be greatly reduced because the majority is not attached to the rules. This is one of the posts I have made no attempt to comics.

@coolcat4: @alternative_backup: @johnnyz256: animal battles.com sounded cool so I looked it up. http://www.maniacworld.com/Animal_Fights.htm

Lion would win 7/10 .

WTF??? I cant believe people are serious in this thread. A Spaniard Bull would destroy the Lion

I dont know what people on here are smoking thinking a Lion can take down a Bull. Ill just leave this here.

Lol that Bull just made that Lion his (You know). Those Cattle from Lidia aint no joke. They would destroy any Big Cat

Obviosuly the Bull wins here.

Bull stomps.

I do want to see this battle occur.. my money is on Lion.

Bull shitstomps. Lion has way to many Wankers on here. Great animal but too many bias followers.

Yea the Bull wins.

@proteusxmanrxis: Lion gets fodderized

According to the professional bull riders association, the average bull they use is 725 to 771 kg and according to Animal Planet, the average adult male african lion is "average between 149 and 249 kg in weight with most weighing around 185 kg". In the wild, an african buffalo (around 589 kg) is a formidable foe for lions and they usually require a pride to take one down already. Taking all this into account, I think this fight is both a literal and figurative stomp for the rodeo bull. As much as I love lions, there is misconception here on people thinking buffaloes are bigger than bulls. It's just misconception. The spanish bull will gore the lion. As much as I love the king of the jungle, to say he would win from an bull like that is massive wanking already.

An angry spanish bull is a perfect opponent to beat a lion. A lion's hunting style is to sprint after an animal, catch up and bring it down by clawing and biting into its sides. Alternatively, jumping on the animal and going for a neck bite. The angry bull won't be running away and the spanish bull will buck the lion off its back easily (a lion is heavier than a person but completely unprepared for that maneuver). The bull's neck is so thick with muscle that the first bite might not even kill it. Meanwhile while one kick, a stomp or a charge from the bull will severely injure the lion that if not instantly kill it. Bull gets dominated unless it's a sick individual. Bull wins like I've said in a quantity of 9/10 from the lion.

@proteusxmanrxis: lmfao... a 1930 hitler footage with a lion who had apparently been mistreated to be a p*ssycat before. why don't y'all guys throw a spanish bull into The Delta Okavango savannah and see how long he survives?

@krypticwarbeast: Don't go by the 1930 Hitler footage. The lion looks very malnourished, saw lions already (for real) and they are way bigger than that and robust too. Also, look at the mane... in my opinion, both can win. The lion got an more efficient weaponry, is an stealth master basically and its faster but the bull is bigger, more durable and more aggressive.

Assuming they're both at peak physical strength, the bull will likely be nearly three times the lion's weight (635 kg to 725 kg vs 210 kg to 220 kg) much, much more aggressive, and can kill the lion whether the lion is in front, behind or underneath. Legitimately, the only place the lion would be remotely safe would be in a tree, where it won't be able to attack the bull at all or on the bull's back, where it really won't be able to attack anything vital and is very likely to be bucked off and subsequently gored/trampled/kicked in the face repeatedly. The lion also isn't particularly capable of killing the bull; it could try to bite into the bull's throat, but this isn't necessarily an instant kill, and requires the lion to get around the bull's horns and front hooves, which is very likely to get the lion killed in the proccess. It could potentially disembowel the bull, but this will be an even slower death and puts the lion in an even more dangerous position than trying to go for the neck; namely, underneath a ton and a half brute with hooves that will cave in its skull. Sure, the lion will be much better at evading or otherwise outmaneuvering the bull, but what's the point to that in a straight up fight when you can't really kill your opponent without dying? Even if we go with the largest known feline species that ever existed (the smilodon) we're still looking at about double the weight when looking at the upper ranges, and while the smilodon is definitely more robust and therefore will put up more of a fight, I'd still put my money on the bull. But this, at least, would be much more of a stand up fight

@goldpool: Horrible take and Incorrect. Solo male lions take down bulls all the time Big ones. Now certainly The Bull has a chance but to say what you said is kinda ridiculous Considering Lions kill Bulls everyday that outweigh them by a lot. That doesn't matter to Lions who feed on them amd take them down. However again Bull certainly has a chance. Lion makes a mistake Bull can certainly Take advantage and kill the lion also

The Bull stomps.

@destinyman75: Lol. Where? get out of your fantasy realm, then see reality. That wildebeest has no front facing horns. Basically, not equipped to defend itself very well. Not something, let's say, a bull. The other photo is 2 full adult lions killing one young elephant that doesn't even have full length defenses yet. So, those two examples are not any kind of proof, I'd think. Historically, there has been lots of animal fights "to the death" like OP said (mainly for fun & gambling). Bulls and bears were about evenly matched, and both of them easily won over lions almost all the time. Lions are great predators, sure. But not ultimate. Those bull thrusts kicks can almost literally explode bones, and fighting is in their blood and gene. While their mane is very good defense for their neck, their face remains a weak spot. So, in theory, lion is better in many ways except where it can make a huge difference; Bull much more bigger than lion. Bull has extra muscle too. Bull kick is strong enough to break lion bones and one-shot puny humans. Lions have a weaker skull in the facial area. Basically, it is like in a hex based battle sim, where you have one unit that seems weaker, but is specialized to take out another unit. I'd put my money on the bull. However, in a battle between a big bull vs a big bear, I'd bet on the bear. Gorilla vs bull, not sure. It could go either one.

@goldpool: who said anything about a wildebeast ? I'm not the one living in a fantasy. Talking about much bigger Buffalo who are just as big and powerful as Bulls. They also are very aggressive and Have huge horns that do lots of damage. Yet that doesn't stop lone males from taking them down. Yes sometimes a Buffalo can Injure and kill a Lion also which I already stated but more often then not A male lion is taking them down. So don't know what your argument is really.

Bulls are bigger and can win I already stated check but my point is correct so.

..

@destinyman75: Bro. A lion is not messing with a bull, you must have smoked some bad things, lol.

Elephants, rhinos and especially hippos are known to fuck shit up and none of them are predators.

My money is on the bull if it's one of the larger species of bull. For a number of reasons. 1. Male bull are roughly the same size as male lions on average. A bull is somewhat larger than an average male which would make it in all likelihood larger than the lion. 2. Horns. A lion's main method of attack is biting and it's normally fighting against animals that require all four legs to stand. A bull can charge the lions face or neck when it goes in for the bite. It can similarly defend itself from the claws. 3. The lion, on the other hand, has no way to block a bull kick right to its face. It can rear back on it's hind legs and swat at the attacks that way but it will be unbalanced and it won't be feasible immediately after it lands from pouncing. 4. Also, if the bull manages to trample the lion from behind, there isn't a lot the lion can do about it. It insta-death. Scratches towards its back will be ineffective and it's well within the bull's power to crush it with a severe stampede trampling. 5. Biting. A lion's bite is fierce but if it messes up and land's in the bull's radius it's fucked. Bullls don't bite or similar shit but they rush with a insurmountable force towards you

@goldpool: What are you talking about????? I've already myself given/stated Buffalo/Bull can win If the very examples you Just repeated why are you saying what I already said,?

Plus Again I'm right 200% African Buffalo are on average Even larger and more powerful then Bulls. At worst equal. And Lions on frsakjng camera take the down all the time how do you NOT know this. Just go watch tons of tube videos have it for years now. If you don't believe What's common knowledge or what you can see in front of you don't know what to tell ya...

@goldpool: Here saved you the trouble Here's also a counter to that charge thing.(even though I already said that is possible). Very easy to find tons of these

Your welcome Good day

https://youtu.be/wKWq-WQb0nw

@destinyman75: You must look like Manuel Uribe with an gun.... LOL

@destinyman75: Bulls > Lions and buffaloes. Bulls will beat many animals you ever mention. except rhino hippo elephant etc.

@goldpool: What? Yeah you Just lost all credibility ...Literally a video I sent you shows different. Let me Guess You don't belive even what you see...Yeah ...No credibility at all

Agree to disagree not wasting my time on something that is common knowledge

Male lions take down African buffalo which are factually bigger than bulls so I don’t see why the outcome isn’t clear here even though it won’t be easy for the lion and it will still have to be careful as it could still get gored.

But yeah, lions literally take down stronger versions of bulls.

@destinyman75: First; for those ignorant on duty, if there is a "king of the jungle" it is the tiger, who lives in the jungle is the tiger, lion lives in the savanna... Not to mention that it is more than obvious that in addition to being a more skilled hunter the tiger would beat the lion in a fight (it is also the best fighter) that the bengal tiger, the siberian would play shuttlecock with the lion. Bull and tiger > lion but go on, if you have a little pick me up on the lion... Who's me to blame..

@goldpool: Actually they both beat each other well documented For centuries depends on the Individual Cat But I'm not entertaining Ignorant Pointless arguments believe what you will Makes little Difference to me we can end it now nothing to be gained

@destinyman75: Bro, as soon as possible lean an gun to your head and do the world a favor^

@goldpool: Grow up kid

In a scenario where the Lion is hunting a somewhat unsuspecting Bull. The Lion is getting dinner more often than not.

But if you set up a scenario where the Bull has been trained to fight and kill. Then it has a much greater shot at killing the Lion.

Just FYI it’s pretty rare for a Male Lion to take on a fully grown male buffalo by itself. The lions will often go after the older, injured or younger members of a pack.

1 on 1 A male lion vs a full grown male buffalo can go either way in the wild, both are perfectly capable of killing each other.

To grow? I'm a college graduate, 27 years living in a practically mansion and with a girlfriend in a totally stable and good relationship without jealousy, etc. Not you, you're the one who mentioned me, you started a debate with me and you're giving up? Because you can't take it, sensitive. You are not built for this. You must be an old Viagra addict with a bald head. The video of a bull annihilating a lion posted here by Destiny you ignored because you are biased towards cats. You can take your other black box medicine there, I'll let you.

Lions are one of my favorite animals but Bull > Lion

Spanish Bull. Been done in history many times. Against lions and tigers. Bull guts the feline within 2-3 minutes. Too large and powerful.

The scenario needs to favor the lion to have a chance. An ambush scenario and the Lion has to be abnormally large for its species against a rather small or maybe average sized spanish fighting bull.

A fully grown healthy male lion when really hungry can take down any bull on this planet.

If it is in an open field the lion has a very small edge, if it's in a cage the bull wins.

Buffalos are bigger than the spanish bull but not as quick and it isn't like the lion doesn't have a very tough job against the buffalo already.

@proteusxmanrxis: This is a cage fight with a domestic lion who had his canines removed.

Far from what would happen in an open field against a prime wild lion.
