Lion Predation

[Spalea]

A male lion kills a wildebeest still in the river... And drags the corpse at the shadow of a tree.

The comment of the video reproduces a stupid clichee (The 650 pounds-bite force...), and asserts that a male lion is seven times stronger than a human... Where does it come from, seven ? Seven men would be able to drag tne wildebeest's corpse (250 kilos) out of the river ? Yes but that doesn't mean that this male lion wouldn't be able to perform even more.

" A male lion is considered very strong, capable of lifting roughly twice its body weight, with an average adult male weighing around 180-250kg and possessing a powerful bite force ranging from 650 to 1000 PSI, making it strong enough to kill large prey with a single bite; compared to humans, a lion is significantly stronger, being around 7 times stronger in terms of overall strength.
