Thrown to the Lions

[Robert]

Think back to my comment on the chicken coop. A lion will charge a herd of zebra, as they scatter, it will single out a single one and move in for the kill. With a bunch of hysterical humans running around, it is a killing spree. Baboons have fangs as long as the lions (well, the larger males do) and they do attack a preditor, being able to inflict harm, something a terrified condemed victim lacks. So it is not the shape, but the behaviour of the "prey" that governs the respons.
