What is more dangerous, a cheetah or a lion?

Question

speed vs power

Answer 1

BOTH

    IF YOU DONT BELEIVE   GO TO AFRICA

Answer 2

I think a lion would be more dangerous even though both can be pretty dangerous. A lion would have more territorial issues and possibly attack you on site.

Answer 3

Cheetah because speed kills

Answer 4

The Lion.  Either could outrun you, so the fact that the cheetah is much faster than the lion makes no difference.  But the fact that the Lion is several hundred pounds heavier than the cheetah and much much stronger means you have no hope whatsoever of wrestling one, whereas a large strong human could actually fend off a hungry cheetah.

Answer 5

more dangerous to people?

lions.. cheetahs are too small and tinid to even attack a person except out of EXTREME!!! desperation...

and as said they'll both out run you so it doesn't matter at all that the cheetahs faster than the lion

Answer 6

Lion. There are numerous cases of man-eating lions, though these are usually injured in some way and are unable to catch their natural prey, but there is no record of a cheetah ever killing a human. They are lightweight animals that depend on speed for survival - they cannot afford to get injured, as being unable to run means being unable to hunt. This means they will avoid attacking anything that seems too large or is unfamiliar - that includes humans. Only rabid cheetahs are known to have attacked people. Both animals can easily outrun a human, so the fact that a cheetah is faster is neither here nor there. The difference is that if a cheetah did attack you, you'd have some chance of fending it off. If a lion was really determined to attack you, you'd have no chance - lions weigh up to 550lb and can take down buffalo. Cheetahs weigh only around 160lb and stick to small prey like Thomson's gazelles.

Answer 7

Both. the first guy said the correct answers.

Answer 8

Both are dangerous, but I would say that the lion is more dangerous....scary!
