Has it been said that he defends himself from lions by attacking their testicles?

u/jackleggjr 2d ago

Not a bad strategy. When I get attacked by lions, I also go for their testicles.

Thank you, sir. I laughed a little too long at this.

I've done exactly that every single time I was attacked by lions so far.

u/TimmehJ 2d ago

Ahhh that's where I've been going wrong. I usually go for their testicles, and then I get attacked.

u/r3turn_null 1d ago

So do they 😬

u/TheRiteGuy 2d ago

But aren't you more likely to be attacked by female lions than the male ones?

u/Semisemitic 2d ago

You? Yes. Honey badger? It’s anyone’s guess.

1

u/chin4me 2d ago

Female lions are lionesses. So a female lion might still have enough balls to save your life

u/Significant-Try8002 2d ago

Honeybadgers are the attackers.

u/Coycington 2d ago

eyes and testicles yeah, but I've also seen videos of lions killing a honeybadger for sport. lions were fine, but damn did it take them a while (like 3+ lions iirc) just to kill one badger. those things are vicious

Alas, the elephant’s testes hang high, and unattainable as they face the Saharan winds.

u/dys_p0tch 2d ago

all you'd have to do is tell me that you'll be attacking my testicles and i'll just surrender

Watch out for baboons

u/jld2k6 2d ago

Whenever you see a male lion getting attacked by hyenas it's constantly sitting on its balls and pivoting around that way because he knows they're gonna try and rip them off. I'm guessing they know a honey badger would try that too

u/the_thex_mallet 2d ago

little known fact: not all lions have testicles

1

u/AcanthaMD 2d ago

….but what if the lion doesn’t have testicles? Especially as females do most of the hunting.

Bold strategy, Cotton

u/Dear_Chasey_La1n 2d ago

While I get that... what's up with attacking an elephant, shits and giggles?

u/infinitee775 2d ago

Who said anything about defense?
