Well we selected his bloodline to be aggressive just like we did for some dog breeds, quiet bull does'nt offer good show in the arenaDude that bull looks so excited. Imagine how much fun he was having just rag dolling everything in site lol
Well to be fair, the first is an entire herd of buffalo and the second was by surprise on what looks to be a lioness.
It is possible for an adult lion to take down a decent-sized buffalo:
A lioness was also present in this case which changed the dynamic a bit but it's pretty clear that an adult lion isn't necessarily terrified of a single buffalo.
A single lion usually won't risk it but that doesn't mean they can't handle themselves. Also, buffalo often make stupid decisions, especially if they are panicking and alone.
It's stupidity really. It's slower than a lion yet chose to run rather than engaging with its horns. Face to face that lion ain't doing shit.
A gamebred Pit would take them both… at the same time
Rescuing them so the pitbull could eat them laterNot if this took place next to a school it wouldn't!!! It would be in there rescuing all the poor kids.......
At the outset, the bear would usually hang back, taking a defensive posture on its hind legs, while the bull was often the first to attack, charging with head down and horns lethal.
It was generally understood by eyewitness accounts that the bear held the advantage in the fray. While the bull had a deadly lunge, the bear could parry the advance and grab the bull by the head, sinking its teeth into the bull’s neck, or on one account, biting the bull’s tongue, which would have undoubtedly released a crowd-pleasing bellow.
At such times, the vaqueros would jump in and break up the fight to save the bull and prolong the drama. “I was present,” stated a spectator named Arnaz in the pages of California Pastoral, “when a bear killed three bulls.” Often, a single grizzly would fight many bulls consecutively until the home team won.
I don't see anything in that story that is far-fetched. One guy says he saw a bear kill 3 bulls one time. Big whoop. That would have definitely happened on occasion if you're saying it's a 50/50 matchup.I've read these old stories too lol
As i said large bear is only carnivore i would not consider the underdog, have the tools and size to probably be more or less 50/50
Said that old stories are old stories lol, don't buy bear killing multiple bulls consecutively (and if he did sure af we're not speaking legit roidrage spanish corrida bulls), just like i find exagerate other stories of lion killing multiple tigers, tiger killing multiple lions, fucking rhino killing multiple elephants (all stuff i've actually read), people just loved these stories back then lol
Plus you have to add these shows ever been rigged as fuck since Rome days, lot of shit was done in animal fights (and even gladiators ones) to obtain gambling profits
I've no problem believe large bear killing corrida bull and if he's lucky even not getting heavy injuried in the process... but do it multiple times in a row you're either using shitty cattle or story itself is probably fake
To give an idea using american bison wikipedia page
"Grizzly bears are known to feed on carcass and may steal wolves' kills. While grizzlies can also pose a threat to calves and sometimes old, injured, or sick adult bison, direct killing of non-calves is rare even when targeting lone and injured young individuals;[86][87][88] attacking healthy bison is risky for bears, who can be killed instead.[89][90]"
Now, american bison and spanish corrida bull are different animals, but still offer perspective
Absolutely mesmerizing aesthetics and attributes.
The Brutal Bull-and-Bear Fights of 19th-Century California
It’s hard to imagine now, but cruel bloodsport was once part of people’s Sunday routines.www.atlasobscura.com

If we speak consecutively is'nt 50/50 anymore thoughI don't see anything in that story that is far-fetched. One guy says he saw a bear kill 3 bulls one time. Big whoop. That would have definitely happened on occasion if you're saying it's a 50/50 matchup.
I don't think there is any other animal on earth that combines beauty with lethality so perfectly as the Tiger.
And if I ever invent Time Travel, I'm going back with a very large gun and forcing all those sick fucks that want to see Bears and Bulls kill each other into the arena with them.
I think also with tiger i would bet my money on spanish bull
Tiger might have slighty better chance as there's a swift accuracy at tackling larger animals that lion seem to lack(on reality "technique" is similar, but tiger seems just more skilled at timing/position itself to close the kill) but to make It a dumb number i would say 25% instead of lion's 20
Like if we speak open arena scenario, most likely outcome is still bull gore and stomp and gore the big cat
Only carnivore i would see have good chance is a big bear, and by good i mean i 50/50
Well we selected his bloodline to be aggressive just like we did for some dog breeds, quiet bull does'nt offer good show in the arena
By that logic a wasp beats a blue whaleI'll put my money on the predator, thanks.
Except that logic entails recognizing that lions do, in fact, routinely prey on bovines, while wasps do not prey on whales.By that logic a wasp beats a blue whale
Not happening
lol a Tiger would tear a Bull to shreds. They have no problems taking down Water Buffalo on their own. Tigers are built to do it and are experienced at doing it. A Bull would stand zero chance.
A Tiger is a completely different problem than a Lion in this arena.
