The lion's claws will dig into a man's flesh. For animals it is different. The animals' flesh will tear away and then they can escape. But a man's flesh does not tear. The lion's claws hold fast and the lion pulls you in.
Some lions are brave, some are cowardly.
Usually the big lions are the brave ones. They will fight. But even the cowardly lions will not run for long. You must test the lion's heart. You must challenge him.
