Who do you would win, 30ft python vs lion?

Question

Lay out all the possible strategies!

Answer 1

First of all, these animals would never meet in the wild - the only python that reaches 30 feet in length is the reticulated python, which is found in south-east Asia where there are no lions (the only lions outside Africa are those in the Gir Forest of India). However, if such a fight was arranged in captivity, the lion would undoubtedly win. Whilst a reticulated python is certainly strong enough to constrict and kill a lion, it wouldn't be given the chance - one bite from a lion could sever the snake's head from its body. The moment a python attempted to coil around a lion, the lion's huge teeth and claws would tear it to pieces. Also, there is no snake on Earth big enough to swallow an adult lion. Some people have a greatly exaggerated idea of the size of prey a snake can swallow.

Answer 2

Lion Vs Python

Answer 3

The African rock python is the largest snake in Africa can grow to 25 feet and weigh over 250 lbs. the male African lion can reach 550 lbs.



Now it depends on how many lions are present, If there are more then one lion then the snake looses. However if there is one lion vs one snake. The snake is very powerful and if it gets one coil around the lion which can be as easily be done by biting the lion then throwing a coil aroung or the lion stepping in the wrong spot. It would take one coil to subdue the lion.



The lion if it bit the snake in the right spot could kill the snake though that would have to be around the head. If the lion bit further down the snake would strike and if it got a good hit, what i said in the last paragraph would occur.



It comes down to who gets the first bite. But because lions are almost often in a group the snake would loose. On the rare occasion though it does occur there will be a single lion.



The snake wouldn't be able to eat the lion either. There are bigger snakes like the reticulated python. Because of This it is doubtful the snake would even try. The biggest prey it's seen been eating is 120 lb gazelle.



Unlike most fights people put two animals in, the African Rock Python and African Lion would actually run into each other. So that's why I chose the African Rock Python, instead of the larger Reticulated Python.



The Reticulated Python is found in south east Asia in such places like Burma, Thailand, Laos, Indonesia, and the Philippines just to name a few places, but will never cross paths with a Lion.



Although The reticulated Python will cross paths with Tigers like the Sumatran Tiger, Malayan Tiger, Bengal tiger, and Indochinese Tiger.



Also some people below said That if the Snake got a coil around the lion, the lion would still be able to tear it to shreads. Well Baboons have the same size teeth as a lion and get killed by these snakes allot. There has even been cases of large pythons killing crocodiles. The python strikes fast And can open its mouth 180 degrees large enough to put its mouth around the lions head, which the head this where they always try to bite down on, then throw coils around the lion.



single lion snake wins



more then one lion lions win

Answer 4

First of all...I've actually seen a regular house cat kill a snake many times. Venomous & non venomous it didn't matter. Point being. Although the rock python is strong and would make a good adversary at first. Once the snake realized it has encountered a lion....it would be too late. Lions take down every animal in the animal kingdom whether it's a squirrel or an elephant. Although they hunt as a group to bring down bigger animals. A full grown male lion can take down a full grown Cape buffalo by himself so a 25 ft python of ANY KIND would be at his mercy. Jaguars kill anacondas frequently in the Amazon & eat them so a lion would have no problem. The only way the python could win is if the lion is sick, dying or already severely wounded.

Answer 5

The lion s speed gives it a big advantage. When the fight starts, the lion can strike the python with several blows to the python s head before delivering its awesome bite. The python cannot be under estimated though. If it gets hold of the lion, there maybe no way for the lion to escape. I give it to the lion a winning favor of 3 to 2.

Answer 6

Suppose the lion is walking through grass. The lion is a male, and it middle-aged. He has also just woken up from a nap. It is about 1300 hours. The python is sitting in a tall grassy field. The unwary lion is heading for the water hole. He doesn't notice the python. WHAM!! The python is under him. The python was nearly stepped on. The python, which has not eaten for at least a week, quickly coils around the lion. The lion is taken by surprise, and by the time he figures out what is going on, the python is wrapped around him, out of the reach of his claws or his mouth. There are no other lions within saving distance; the lion has been had.



Or how about this one?:



The python has been relaxing under a tree. It is about 1500 hours, and the hot sun has now cooled off. The python can now leave its safety in the shade. The lion, who has not eaten for a while, is looking for some chow. Again, a middle-aged male. There are no gazelles around, and the conspicuous lack of hyenas suggests that there are no big prey left to tackle. The lion decides to go looking for smaller prey, to subsidise his own hunger. He sees in the distance, the huge python slithering along. It is a fairly dry year, and the river has gone down; only negligible blades of grass surround the python; it has no cover. The lion comes at the python from behind. It runs quickly, giving the python little reaction time. Even so, the reflexes of the snake allow it to turn around in time to land a bite on the front leg of the lion. However, the lack of venom prevents any significant damage to the lion. The lion bites the back of the head of the python, killing it before it can coil around him.



So as you can see, both creatures have their advantages. The snake has the advantage of reflex speed, and the advantage of ambush. However, the lion has the advantage of faster-working weapons, and the advantage of mammalian intelligence. Oftentimes though, circumstances play a big part in any combat between two creatures. Rarely does nature put them in a ring of equal opportunities.

Answer 8

The Python would win, the Python has not impossible to win against the lion, in that case the lion has impossible to win against the Python. The Python can open his mouth so it can be big. But I have never seen a lion win or eat a Python. Python wins.

Answer 9

It is conditional. Lions are one of the strongest cats, very fast and very ferocious. If it gets hold of the head of the python once, it is going to crush it and probably detach it from its body with a single bite of its heavy jaws. Even a powerful blow from its front paws can crush its head. I myself have seen kittens (not even fully grown domestic cats) kill a poisonous cobra (almost 7 feet long) alone. The way it dodged the cobra's attack was remarkable. Let me tell you here, such a big python is pretty slower than a slender cobra.

But, if somehow the python's head escapes lion's blows and it can bite it anywhere in the face (just to get a hold), it can coil it in almost no time and crush it to death and can even swallow it whole. Pythons have been seen swallowing even powerful animals like crocodiles.



Pythons as a whole and as heavy as that, are never good at running after their enemies to kill or following their swift movements. Rather, they just wait motionlessly and jump on their preys. So, it is very unlikely that such a big python can match the swiftness of a lion. Neither it can run away from it fast.

So, in view of the above, I go with the lion's side.

Answer 10

A 30feet reticulated python would most certainly win. First, it doesn't care about a few minor cuts inflicted by a lion and would certainly get into the lion's neck in no time. Imagine wrapping an 8-inch thick rubber band around your neck and you will know the idea. Oh wait, I remember one eating an adult carabao (a water buffalo) in our country. Remember, it needs a pack or lions to bring down one buffalo, yet a single snake can make it a meal for itself alone.

Answer 11

Snake Versus Lion

Answer 12

my first thought was the lion would most likely kill the snake... but a 30ft python would be very strong and would most likely over power the lion and kill it.

I would prefer not to describe a snake strangling a lion.

Answer 13

How thick is this python.



Bigger than 2ft, diameter, maybe snake wins.



otherwise, the lion would slash it and bat it.



Snake could choke and constrict lion to death if lion is in sleep or unawares.

Answer 14

a python





According to a Science Now article, a 5.5-meter python can create a

force of about 1 kilogram per square centimeter on its victim--about

six times as rigorous as a firm handshake.





Scientists have figured out how to monitor the pressure a boa

constrictor exerts while squeezing a rabbit to death.



?Engineers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,

constructed a "constrict-o-meter" at the request of local zookeepers

who wanted a visual measure of the snake's coil power for an episode

of BBC's Animal Planet. The device, a pressure-sensitive,

quarter-sized plate mounted on the end of a 30-centimeter-long probe,

is placed between the snake and its prey, says mechanical engineer

Adnan Akay, who designed the rig with two assistants. Wires carry the

information from the probe to a laptop computer, which plots the

pressure. A 5.5-meter python, for example, can create a force of about

1 kilogram per square centimeter on its victim--about six times as

rigorous as a firm handshake.?





and it can swallow a baby hippo dont beleive me look it up on youtube

Answer 15

Speaking of swallowing a baby hippo---and i am not even trying to be funny this is serious---did anyone know that a hippo swallowed a circus midget not too long ago. I kid you not...he was flying from some trapeze trick and the hippo yawned and his gag reflex caused him to swallow the little guy...no cool lion python stories but this one is cool...

Answer 16

the 30 pound python would swollow the lion whole. because it would take the lion 3 days chewing on the python trying to kill it!
