Ive heard it said about the movie "The ghost and the darkness" that it is unrealistic to think a male lion could yank a grown man out of a tent. I'd like to label this "exhibit A".

Somewhere I read that a leopard can carry three times its weight into a tree. That'd be like me carrying 675 lbs of dinner up into the branches. Clearly, pound for pound, the big cats are much, much stronger than we.

Impressive, but the cat just held the body builders off. The rope went through a 90' turn and that makes it far more difficult to pull one direction or another. I would think it might be a little different if they were pulling straight. Lionesses are hella tough though and a male like the ones from Tsavo would have been far stronger.

I have seen a male lion pull an eight month old calf through an eight inch opening breaking all the ribs as he did it!

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.
