What the fuck True Anus?!!
Lions are magnificent creatures. A large male lion is a force of nature! Have you ever seen a large male lion up close? You'd shit your fucking pants. Weak my ass. What is this fucking feminine shit???!
I've seen both lions and cape buffalo on safari in South Africa, from about 10 feet away. The cape buffalo is every bit as big as a male lion. They are both part of the big 8. And you wouldn't shit your pants if you saw a lion up close. They are very chill animals until they are threatened or hungry. We followed a male in our safari vehicle for a good 20 minutes till he got pissed and roared at us. Magnificent animal, yes, but scary... Elephants are far worse. A bull elephant turned and charged us without provocation. The size of a truck.
The most intimidating animals in Africa are, in no particular order, elephants, baboons, hippos, cheetahs ( they strike in a matter of seconds as I witnessed just outside a breeding enclosure) hyenas and african dogs. But unless these creatures are looking for dinner or cornered they run away. Except the hippos. They are fucking psycho as I witnessed while taking a boat ride on the Zambezi River.
