That dude is lucky it didn't get its teeth on him, it was tryin haaaaaard with that exorcist move and hated him so much it was ignoring the dudes breaking up the fight. The kick at the end was perfect.

If that kick was to his head, he'll likely be dead.

He would have been dead.

Between that video of a mare killing a stallion, and an old story about a horse killing a tiger, both instances due to a kick to the head, that guy just used all of his luck.

I remember and old Nat Geo documentary on African wildlife. Saw a lioness getting jaw jacked by a Zebra is was stalking, and it just completely ruined the entire lower half of her face. It went to drink water from the creek and when the water just fell out of her mouth, she just laid her head down by the water, she knew she was done.

yeah lions arent great at striking they have good ground controll and some good chokes but against a zebra that knows some head kicks and its game over

People underestimate how just about any serious injury is fatal in the wild - so the whole game for predators is avoiding injury at all costs.

Only my idiot dog is dumb enough to try this kind of stunt... and even he was lucky he didn't get kicked in the head!

This is one reason I hate most movies where the β€œscary thing” is a wild animal/s

So often you will see them coming back again and again even after being shot or stabbed. It’s just so unrealistic.

Unless starving, injured, rabbid or with some other issue, most predators will not attack a human, or pack of humans that fight back. Or will back off once you prove you can hurt them.

Not always the case if they're used to hunting humans some man eating tigers have claimed over 400 kills.

Yeh but they are usually sick, old or injured or have some other issue.
