"Only a fully conscious being can think in such a way....*elephant puts bone in its mouth* O_O

@SuperGuerreroXY Wow. You are so dumb.

"Lions hunting in groups are capable of taking down most animals, even healthy adults, but in most parts of their range they rarely attack very large prey such as fully grown male giraffes due to the danger of injury."

Got that form Wikipedia. Now where's your source telling me that lions are super-powered godlike creatures who can take down anything? I'm waiting.

@SuperGuerreroXY You're the naive one. Lions have limits like all other animals. No expert is going to tell you that a lion could kill any animal he wanted in seconds. You find me one expert who holds your whacko-absurd view, you can't, so shut up.

[davidspade200]

@SuperGuerreroXY No it's the opposite, elephants are known to kill lions. Stop pulling "scientifc data" out of your ass.

@dragonkeeper19600 You are naive.Lion destroys all those animals in seconds.

[dragonkeeper19600]

@SuperGuerreroXY Elephants have plenty of strength and vigor. And just because something is a vegetarian doesn't mean it's not deadly. Tons of species, like hippos, giraffes, water buffalo, kill tons of people every year, and lions are smart enough to avoid them if they can.

[dragonkeeper19600]

@SuperGuerreroXY Lions know to pick off sick or young elephants. They'd have to be pretty desperate to take on a healthy adult.

[SuperGuerreroXY]

@PFCAhammed sometimes lions are stupids,but always win the battles,elephants are downed by lions everyday in africa.

[SuperGuerreroXY]

@dragonkeeper19600 you are scareda bout its size,this is fool...size is not the same as strength and danger.Lion is strongest and more dangerous,so lion eat meat,and elephants are vegetarians,it emans the lion owuld kill the elephant instantly.

[PFCAhammed]

@SuperGuerreroXY no, an elephant would destroy a lion which was stupid enough to attack it

[dragonkeeper19600]

@SuperGuerreroXY Yeah. That was a pretty stupid content. Lions know not to hunt elephants because they're too big and strong and dangerous.
