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.
