00:02 The horse evolved millions of years ago

00:07 surrounded by hungry predators,

00:09 mainly from the dog and cat family,

00:13 and he managed to survive to the present day.

00:15 But could a horse kill a lion?

00:19 Or would he be easy prey for such a powerful feline?

00:28 First, horses are directly related to zebras,

00:33 which are constant prey for lions in Africa.

00:38 However, horses are bigger than zebras.

00:42 Because of this, he may have a slight advantage

00:44 due to his size.

00:45 On the other hand, most domestic horses

00:51 are not used to fighting predators to survive,

00:54 so they may be at a disadvantage.

00:57 (dramatic music)

00:59 A horse of average size would hardly stand a chance

01:02 against a lion.

01:02 Now, have you seen the size of a draft horse?

01:08 Draft horses are large and robust animals

01:11 that can exceed two meters in height

01:13 and weigh over 1,000 kilograms.

01:16 A kick from a horse of that size

01:20 could seriously injure a lion.

01:23 (dramatic music)

01:25 And even kill him if he hits him on the head, for example.

01:30 Just like zebras, horses also attack with bites.

01:35 They are not deadly,

01:38 but they can hurt even big cat-like lions.

01:42 So yes, a horse can kill a lion,

01:46 but that would depend on which horse is facing a lion.

01:51 And in what situation.

01:53 Besides, the horse would have to be lucky to hit the lion

02:00 before he managed to bite its throat.
