The Amazing World Of Animals
It’s hard to imagine putting any animal up against a lion. They’re king of the jungle, who could be better? They do have some formidable family members, though.
In the natural world’s classification system, both the lion and the mountain lion come from the same family: Felidae, also known as cats.

The lion is known as the King of the Jungle or even the King of Beasts. Yet, could the mighty lion alone overtake the colossal elephant? The lion is one of the few species that can actually hunt and kill an elephant.
So if we put these two face to face on even ground, what would be the result?

At Ned Hardy we love and respect animals, but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy thinking about what might happen if some of the biggest beasts fought each other, tooth and nail. It’s our natural world version of Godzilla versus Kong. For this latest battle of the beasts we are lining up two apex predators in their own environments, the Grizzly Bear of North America versus the Wild Lion of Africa.
Everyone loves a good story about an underdog facing insurmountable odds and overcoming their foe through sheer will and determination.
A honey badger squaring off against a lion is one such match-up. While most people would put their money on the lion, we shouldn’t totally discount the honey badger.
In the past decade, the the honey badger has cemented his reputation as being a fearless badass after ‘The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger‘ video went viral in 2011.
Could the honey badger’s fearless, cunning and crafty nature outsmart the lion in a head to head fight?? Let’s find out!

While we’d never actually throw the two of them into an arena, we can’t help but wonder: who would win? King of the jungle vs. saltwater assailant. Lion vs. crocodile.

Also sometimes referred to as a jaguon, the jaglion is one of many portmanteaus used to define hybrid species of animals. In this case, it’s the blend of two big cats: a lion and a jaguar. Both belonging to the genus Panthera, their genetics aren’t too far off. It’s not surprising that they’re able to mate, but they are extremely rare.

Hear the word “leopon” and you may think it’s a type of Pokémon. It’s a real animal that exists on planet Earth. It’s a crossed-bred big cat. Think of mules (mixes of donkeys and horses) or dog breeds (cockapoos, goldendoodles, etc.). Another group of four-legged friends whose genetics can get crossed, members of the genus Panthera can produce a whole new slew of furry predators, the leopon included.
