    What percentage of people will deliberately choose the most ridiculous option in a survey to mess with the survey people though?

      What’s weird is that I would have guessed way higher than 8%

        I suspect the 8% is only before the lion jumps over the fence 😂 once it charges you it’s 0% across the board https://youtu.be/T0kzdu_wTM0 https://youtu.be/U-WdLv8Es6g

    Fistfight, sure, maybe. But what about a claw-and-fang fight?

        Lion would just have to stand there and take it, or the ref would dq him. EZ win.

        Don’t they? My housecat has been known to curl his insanely large paws up into fists when he hits people. I’ve tried to teach him the ways of peace, but he is a cat, and also it is sort of funny when someone comes to me and says “um, so your cat just punched me”

    The fraction is probably higher. But only because Lions are absolutely abysmal boxers.

      I think the reason is that very few people have ever run into a lion in the wild. I think one encounter would probably change the a lot of people’s mind in that regard. Considering what a pitbull can do to a human being, imagine what 750 lbs of pure muscle and teeth will do?

        Sure, if the lion fights lion-style we stand little chance barehanded.

    In a fist fight of course, lions don’t have fists, but good luck telling them the rules

    If an animal was trying to kill me, I wouldn’t mess with anything larger than a chicken. Even then their feet knives have a good chance of sending me to the emergency room.

    I saw a lion at the local zoo a few years ago. I made the mistake of looking at his eyes. He got mad and slammed against the glass. I’m confident I could not win in a fight against a lion.

      About 6 years ago I took one of my kids to the zoo and we were at the lion enclosure, all the lions just chilling and right as we started walking away one of them stood up and roared. Holy fuck are they loud, like a concert speaker just as loud and could feel it on my insides. My son absolutely shit himself and just laid down on the ground crying.

    Why is percent written out as 2 words? It’s infuriating…

      Apparently both are correct, but writing as 2 separate words is more common if you’re British or Canadian than if you’re from the US.

      I know I see “per cent” in lots of old books.

      AP style for publishing has different rules for all sorts of things, but headlines get even more specialized rules.

    how old/mature is the lion? I think I could take a 2-month old cub bare knuckle. An adult? No I cannot win a fistfight with a 500 pound cat.

    Are they scoring by boxing rules? I don’t think a lion would fight by the rules.
