Yeah but everyone thinks that lions are badass but they fail like 77% of their hunts so they're more like huge failures.

To be fair, what I'm usually hunting I don't eat, but I fail much more than 77% of the time. Probably most men do.

Well, you don't know what you're missing, and it might be part of your problem. Just say'n.

:)

But perhaps not when we actually depended on it, and had all the practice/experience that goes with that.

You are also probably hunting alone. Lions cooperate.

Do you have plans for this evening?

Too hot here right now.

Funnily enough, I am a Leo.

That’s a pretty ridiculous way to measure predator success. Hunting is a high risk high reward endeavor; a predator can fail to kill in most hunts and still be a very successful species.

For the record, it’s estimated that American deer hunters have a success rate between 6-13%, depending on the method and state. So lions are apparently more consistently successful hunters than humans with guns.
