    Is a weapon implied?

    If so, the knight. People have killed lions with far less. You know humanity has been in Africa all along, right? (Edit: And they were native elsewhere surprisingly recently, like, some of the ones at Roman gladiatorial games would have been local-ish)

    If not, it’s more of an even match. The knight has to slowly punch or grapple the lion to death, while the lion probably has to manage to get an unshakeable grasp on a limb. I’m kinda liking the lion, but this being a trained knight I might be totally wrong.

          And thus it was, the life-and-death struggle between man and beast. The majestic lion, and the knight wearing full plate mail holding a submachine gun in a bucket of water.
