I've wrestled house cats before and lost. I don't think there's any chance against something that weighs 4 times more, carries the equivalent of 25 knives, and has 2 percent body fat.

Poke its eyes, find and bite the jugular, grab the nearest hard object, etc. You've probably got about a 1% chance of doing enough to make it let go of you if you managed to see it coming. No chance if it gets the back of your neck or your head.

I think I'd rather have to fight a Grizzly off than have to fight a tiger/lion. Both things can and will kill you but the big cats are far better at it.

Thanks to big game hunting Lions won't be far behind. I doubt either will exist in another 20 years.

I mean obviously a gun would do the trick but say you had no weapons and was suddenly attacked, not chased, but attacked, what would you do? What could you do?

John belushi grabbed one by the nuts in a movie once.

Its not the big game hunting its the poaching. Big difference. Even Jungle Jack Hanna will tell you that the hunting to cull overpopulation is healthy. What remains of the habitat and unlawful poaching is doing in the Lion not big game hunting.

Read "Death in the Long Grass". Lions and Tigers are high on his list but not at the top. Elephants he said are the most dangerous especially with young calves. He used to have to cull the herds in Africa for the African wildlife commission. He has seen villagers stomped to the consistency of grape jelly, What was left would fill a jelly jar. Also Crocks, Hippos and Cape Buffalo were surprisingly volatile and man killers.

He later guided hunters on Kodiak Island for Grizzly Bear. I found a new respect for this animal and considered it maybe the most dangerous animal anywhere in the world. Mostly because its disposition. It was unpredictable and the slightest thing could set them off on a charge. Once infuriated they don't stop till they have ripped you to shreds and take great pleasure in ripping open chest cavities of animals still alive and eating their inards while they watch with there last dieing breaths.

Hippos kill more people in Africa then any other animal. They are territorial as hell, incredibly aggressive for a herbivore, will actively kill crocodiles when they have young around, and see humans as threats. They are also surprisingly stealthy in water and fast out of water.

You could think to yourself "I'm a ****ing dumbass for being around these beasts with no gun". And then die.

why do you think domestic cats are only bred to certain sizes? Because they are godless killing machines, that's why. Imagine a house cat the size of a german Shepard.

Not much more to see. Looks like he lost some fingers.

I read somewhere that the mahout (elephant driver) lost his arm. They had been stalking the tiger to try to tranquilize and tag it. Tiger got pissed eventually I guess. It's just amazing how the tiger can be completely invisible in that tall grass.
