Midgets lose unless they have tools they can get and/or some of them have experience surviving/fighting. Also, I got a new quote from this! :D

hmmm... interesting.

1 apex predator that relies on size, speed and strength against 40 (albeit very small) apex predators that rely on brains and tools.

Give the midgets weapons, they win no probs but without weapons? Humans SUCK at fighting without our trusty weapons, a Lion has built in weapons. A Lion can cave in a fully grown humans chest with one flick of its paw, it has teeth that can rip through flesh and retractable claws that do the same.

Unless all the midgets managed to jump on its back at the same time and thats frankly near impossible since the midgets would barely be tall enough to jump that high (a fully grown male Lion is about 4 feet tall at the shoulder, and can be up to 9 feet tall when standing on hind legs) especially when you consider that they would have to pile up on top, a highly unlikely feat. The Lion is much much much stronger than the strongest human while midgets are weaker than an average human. Lions have a much higher pain tolerance and tougher skin. I could carry on but i digress....

The Lion could easily kill 5-10 midgets with a few of swipes of its paws, or at least incapacitate them. A few more swipes and theres another 5 gone, and another 5. Lion wins nearly every time.... its simply better built for killing than humans.

You could probably put a Lion in a room with 40 fully grown average Humans and it would still come out on top if it could avoid being jumped on by too many at once.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

Midgets win if they have the right mentality and strategy.

They have to go for it, immediately without any second thoughts. If they don't act quickly their numbers will dwindle and they lose their pack advantage, then the rest would get torn to shreds.

I reckon though if 40 of them just went straight for it they would win, though it's definitely a close call.

Lion, hands down. Not even close.
Sure the midgets can surround and maybe even grab/touch the lion; but the sheer power of the animal can/will move any tiny object from it's desired path.
Plus a lion can survive kicks from a zebra, gazelle, etc. Most humans will sustain incredible injuries from an incident like that.
Sure you start off with 40, but that number will get quickly twiddled down as the lion does what a Lion does.
Also it depends on the kind of lion we are talking about. A lion that fears humans or a lion that doesn't fear anything are two drastically different animals.
Seriously read Death in the Long Grass by Peter Chapstick if you want to read some crazy lion stories from a man who lived them.

I bet the lion would win even if it had it's claws and teeth removed.

How are midgets supposed to hurt a lion? They are nature's ultimate killing machine.

If the midgets fight "selflessly with one mind like zealots in a deathball" then they could do it. But there is a huge difference between that and what would actually happen: 40 incredibly weak humans fighting to survive against a lion.
I don't think many people in this thread realise just how pathetic we human beings are. We really are the weakest sacks of shit mother nature has ever produced. Our strength, pound for pound, is so horrible it is unbelievable.

This is something that really needs to be pounded home here.

We humans, pound for pound, are so incredibly weak compared to our animal counterparts it is beyond absurd.

Against even mid-size creatures not known for fighting prowess such as the larger monkeys, there is literally nothing you can do. They are above and beyond what you could ever hope to fight against successfully. All you can do is pray to your god that they leave enough of you attached to your bones so that you can at least breath without a machine for the rest of your life.
A fully grown lion? A death machine ripped from your darkest nightmares here to deliver you to your maker? Not in your wildest dreams.

Humans have teeth too you know. Latch on and start biting its neck, face, genitals. Jab fingers into eyes, etc. Keep in mind that these are extremely desperate midgets who'll pretty much do anything to survive. A mouthful of blood is a small price to pay for denting the lion.

if they just bum rushed the tiger, midgets would win. They can grab, bite, jump on top, etc. They would have to be fearless to accomplish this though. Even if they knew the stakes, i don't think they can muster up enough courage to make it work.

I don't even think the lion would easily be able to kill all the midgets without being tired even if the midgets didn't even harm the lion. 40 is large number and predators like lions aren't build for long drawn out struggle the way humans are.

The lion would win. A 200kilo beast, pure muscle and bones, with paws bigger than a midgets head. One bite can easily crack a midget neck inhalf. It wouldn't even be close at all. Even if all the migdets attacked at the same time, the lion would fall on the ground and stomp all midgets beneath him.

Depends on the midgets as well? Midget =/= Pussies. A bunch of clones of Mike Kuhns would rape the lion and make a coat with it.

Why does the lion get no time to strategize? WHY?

THIS BLOG IS RACIST AGAINST LIONS.

Wow, way to be all cynical. Just to prove you wrong, I am going to fight my cat and we'll see who is superior.

If they have no fear of death they will win easily, but the lion would win against people in their right minds.

5 minutes? The midgets are so fucked. 40 random people would be hard pressed to form ranks properly in 5 minutes, let alone organizationally equip themselves to fight anything that can easily kill them in seconds.


Organization yes, but they don't get to gear themselves up.

According to recent studies, it would appear lions spend a lot of time thinking about that kind of situations in order to be always prepared. Yeah, that's what occurs when you have nothing to do because females do all the work.
