+21 A crocodile has a massive advantage over a lion in deep water, but the lion wins on dry land. Therefore, there must exist a depth of water that makes it an even fight. amirite?

I like this one. And I think you could go even further, there should be a level of water for each aquatic animal vs. terrestrial animal fight that makes it an even one. I wonder what it'd be for shark vs. human.

When i lived in Cuba there were stories of people getting snatched by tiger sharks in like 3 feet of water, dont know how accurate that is, lots of stories about them being caught and you would find their stomachs full of cans,knives, human parts etc. I was young and dont know enough about them to say if any of this is accurate, but they were the thing i feared the most when swimming in the sea. In my mind these sharks would just attack anything in sight.

I'm guessing it's right around the point where the shark can breathe without dying.

I feel like up to the hip. Arms for human to punch. Probably just enough for a shark to swim and attack

Are you sure the lion wins on dry land?

There was that one lion who got taken out by a school of tuna. The built breathing apparatus' out of kelp. Figured out where he lived.

I think it might, or at least it can run away faster than a crocodile could chase (although crocs are faster than most people think).

And also faster than most people (unless you are Usain Bolt maybe).

A Jaguar even wins in water. They hunt crocodiles.

Does the lion win on dry land? Crocodiles are intense.

I'm guessing it can sometimes, but it ain't exactly a wash. Tigers kill their native crocodiles, that are smaller than Niles, for food sometimes.

And a tiger would wreck a lion 9 out of 10 times

Years ago I read a novel called Bear v. shark by Chris Bachelder. This is kind of what happens. It's a blood sport that everyone is obsessed with, and takes place in a shallow swimming pool. This book also taught me what an SUV is. Every time I hear SUV, I think of Bear v. Shark.

I'm not even sure the lion consistently wins on land

What is the point at which a swimming moose gets beaten by an orca consistently?

I'm pretty sure the crocodile wins on dry land as well.

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Only takes a few inches to be able to drown, so likely not very deep.

Even on dry land a large crocodile would be dangerous for a lion. Those things are no joke.

by Confident-Cheek7219 1 month ago

No way a Lionel survives a actual bite from a crocodile or keeps their paw after a deathroll. Just no way.

I would assume the moment the crocodile can float, as the weight of the water will slow the lion down scaled to depth, while the croc will go from low effectiveness to full effectiveness in 1 step.
