Endurance and Stamina
While lions possess great short-burst strength, humans excel in endurance and stamina, capable of long-distance running and sustained physical activity.
Strength in Hunting and Survival
Lions use their strength primarily for hunting and survival, showcasing their ability to take down large prey. Humans, on the other hand, rely more on intelligence and tools for survival.
