the rope going through all those guide posts probably didn't help.

 

[Mook]

Likely not..still not convinced this isnt one big troll but lions are strong as fuck so its probably not all smoke and mirrors.

 

[boostedguy05]

animals in general are MUCH stronger than us. no doubt lions are strong AF, and this one has no issues holding its own against 3 men.

It's not really holding it's own, going through that guide on an angle like that drastically reduces the advantage of the 3 meat heads.

Beep beep, here comes the negativity train.

Trains don't beep you noob.

The ones that are never positive do.

What's more impressive is the lion is smart enough to know where to hold the rope so it's easier for it to hold still.

 

[Mook]

Im more surprised they even got the lion to bother. Zoo lions are lazy as fuck.

It looks like a tourist attraction, so the thing probably owns humans all day long thinking it's just playing. If that's the truth that's pretty cool so it's not just there for people to look at.

I mean kudos to the zoo for keeping the animals "entertained' and using their muscles and brains and such. Interactive zoos are the best (by zoo standards at least).

Sayin.

While no lion/lion cub, our big dumb black lab loves to play tug of war.

He'll pull my Wife, My Mother and certainly the kids around all day long. While he doesn't win vs. me, I still have to put some effort in. So yea, I can see this lion cub being strong.

I will throw another caveat in besides the angle of the rope and resistance being pulled through the gate... The way the lion's (cats and dogs also) legs hinge vs. ours in terms of putting power down. Ours will eventually buckle.

I like the concept, fun for all and gave the lion something to do.

Man did this thread get shitted on by the human encyclopedia that no one took off the shelf

[MENTION=517]10sec[/MENTION] is a smart guy. I am sure he can explain and show the amount of extra force needed to overcome that angle on the wall. Lets's see it Mike lol



The lion dug in but he didn't seem to be doing any tugging. I would put my money on the Lion.

You wouldn't understand

nope. You are right.

I only understand vector forces.

exactly.
