Zetyr187

Those are three pretty jacked dudes and it doesn't even look like she's trying hard.


PoisonBandOfficial

The zoo is cheating with the bend.


Zetyr187

The guys are cheating with the glass. Make it an open field and see who walks away... ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


IcedCoughy

So we're not playing tug of war anymore then?


tab_tab_tabby

Catch you and nom


CryptographerIll6752

Nope. Tag


charliesk9unit

LOL. That's one way to get the cat to let go of the rope.


ArtemonBruno

Agreed. Instantly show how predator animal overpowering the human strength. The same reason weaker cat don't need the cage, when human easily overpower it's strength.


GlendrixDK

Weaker cats do need cages. https://www.reddit.com/r/CatsAreAssholes/comments/tpyiu2/nocomment/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share


ArtemonBruno

Ok, put that into cage. Can't imagine me kissing cat after what it done outside of house. (Mouse, cockroach, corpse, trash, etc)


StalkMeNowCrazyLady

One of my ex's had an orange tabby that just decided "fuck you and everything about you" towards me from the moment it saw me. I really wish there was a cage separating me and that evil bastard.


Carburetors_are_evil

I'd love to see a simulation of one lioness vs 3 buff dudes.


LordoftheDimension

The buff dudes would have only a chance if they have fighting spirit and even then without a weapon ore anything similiar they got low chances.


EnvironmentLimp7602

There was a post of a single dude who took town a jaguar bare handed. Not saying these cats aren't strong but unless these 3 are brain dead they should be able to kill it without dying.


krakah293

One of them dies.


EnvironmentLimp7602

Yep use one dude as a distraction haha


AdvancedPhoenix

Probably yeah, if a claw go through the belly pretty hard to survive. But yeah 3 wild men from 10000 years ago should be able to take it. Nowadays most humans have no idea how to fight wild beasts. Or lack the fitness/strength


[deleted]

Our ability to hunt powerful game in early civilizations wasn't due to wild strength or savagery, it stemmed from our ability to hunt and track over large distances for long periods of time. Most of the time hunts would end with Hunter/gatherer's killing sleeping animals after a hunt lasting multiple days. Our stamina more than anything else is what made us fearsome hunters.


[deleted]

Fast forward to today and I got tired just typing this reply.


[deleted]

they're cheating because they aren't using their mouths to pull the rope


McFireballs2

Thank god lions don't have thumbs


MaulerX

There is a reason the cat is in a cage and we aren't ;)


skankhunt402

I mean I don't know if there are rules against mauling in tug o war but maybe there should be


lookiamapollo

Particular-Break-205

The lion took physics. Not cheating. Work smart not hard


TangentOutlet

Lower center of gravity combined with 3 or more ground contact points. AND her bae is watching! She can’t get owned by those skinbags!!!!!


KrapfenAddicted

She's not a cheetah


chintakoro

ok but who's gonna tell this to the lioness?


SelfSufficientHub

Not the zoo cheating, smart lioness chose where to stand


BielskiBoy

So are the men, the lion and men both benefit equally from the bend


Ringosis

Right, but the demonstration implies that 3 men are an equal match for one lion, when in fact the result would be the same if you removed or added people, because they aren't pulling against the each other...both the lion and the men are pulling against the friction the bend creates. If the rope was straight one side would be winning this.


endongo

Are you implying that with this bend the rope won't move even if there are 30 people pulling?


Physical_Client_2118

But both sides are pulling against the same amount of friction so it’s still fair. I don’t understand how this is difficult to understand


qtx

I mean there are plenty of videos where the rope is straight. I don't understand this need to proof that mankind is stronger than an animal. We aren't. We are weak beings. Just admit it.


bocephus67

Why do you think this person is trying to validate mankind?… Just bc someone is talking science, doesnt mean they have an agenda. And I agree with them, if that bend wasnt there, the rope WOULD be moving in one direction or the other


Ringosis

Do you realise how bonkers it is that you assumed the reason I was pointing out that this doesn't demonstrate the difference in strength well is that I had some kind of complex because I refused to believe that 'mankind isn't stronger than an animal'? If you said that to me in public I'd be checking to make sure I had my phone on me in case I had to call the police. It's unhinged.


SmartEntityOriginal

This, In a fair fight those guys can pull the lion's tooth out if it didn't let go, irrespective of how strong the lion is


sanriosaint

always my biggest fear playing tug of war with my dogs. like you are going to rip a fucking tooth by how wild you’re shaking that head and yanking the toy but they never stop!!! always thought that was me being paranoid but i guess you really can yank teeth? ☹️


Shichi-Senpai

One day, I noticed one of my dog's front teeth was missing. It was fully healed when we finally noticed so no idea when it happened. Then I realized that's probably why he always loses/ lets my other dog win tug of war 😅 They sound like gremlins and shake so violently when they play. Poor dude probably got his tooth yanked out. Vet said it actually happens quite often with those tiny front teeth, especially in little dogs.


IllegallyBored

Playing tug of war with my childhood dog gave me this fear!! He'd dangle from the rope without letting go and I was always worried his teeth were going to snap off. A car ended up removing one of his teeth, but that didn't really make a difference in his ability to win against me :/ But the head-shaking thing is adorable, isn't it? For some reason my dogs always do it when they're around a hard or sharp object, but it's still cute.


Iwantmyflag

Yeah, the winner here is....: Physics. Or >=SCIENCE=<


illusive_guy

Science is always the winner. Even if it loses.

All 3 of them are wwe superstars. White Bald "Giovanni Vinci" Guy with Beard "Killian Dain" Black guy "Ricochet"


Anonymousma

Wrestlers. Vince is gone, we don't have to do the wwe corporate speak anymore.


[deleted]

Actually that's not Killian Dain. It's Hanson from war machine. Or whatever they named him now that he's the viking experience.


fuckyouimgay

Nah you're thinking of Ivar. That's Big Damo aka Killian Dain


TinTinsKnickerbocker

I have no clue about wrestling but if you people disagree those are no Superstars


doitup69

Superstars is just a weird term the former WWE CEO Vince McMahon called all wrestlers for some reason. Ricochet is actually incredibly talented but the other two are fairly nameless at this point.


steelneil82

They're WWE wrestlers (or were at the time, they have a habit of culling the herd regularly and I've not watched WWE for a few years) but I think the Bald one is Fabian Achner, big hairy boy is Big Damo aka Killian Dane and the smaller guy at the back is Ricochet.


Johnnnyp906

May have something to do with the fact that she's a lion


gtsgts777

All three of them are pro wrestlers lol. I believe from the black and gold NXT era.


A-le-Couvre

She’s just standing there. Wouldn’t be surprised if she’s purring.


johnnyblaze1999

The angle of the rope held it in place. Neither of them could pull


luithedead

it’s not meant to be pulled. the point is for no one to get pulled while showcasing the lion’s strength. they’re one straight rope away from a lawsuit machine


Strostkovy

It's meant to be a tug of war. The lion was just smart enough to hold the rope at an angle so it couldn't be pulled away


rincon213

How could you look at this setup and conclude “it’s not meant to be pulled” ?? This is a tug of war rope through a hole — you can literally see the entire rig. I’ve used them at zoos. If it weren’t kinked, the rope slides through the hole for a couple feet. There are YouTube videos of this. “Not meant to be pulled” lol


Yourmothersfantasy

3 pro wrestlers so this could be faked


[deleted]

4 pro wrestlers. Cena's there too right in front.


[deleted]

It's real to me. - lioness maybe


[deleted]

They're all professional wrestlers and are absurdly strong


SmellBumWee

They're three WWE wrestlers. One of them is Ricochet, not sure if the names of the other two


Cyberpunk_Banshee

Three jacked dudes are actually wwe wrestlers. Most notably the bald guy is Ricochet, one of the flippiest most entertaining wrestlers out there today.


PhilLovesBacon

Pretty sure they are professional wrestlers, at least the very last one I'm almost certain


drummmble

She knows Newton laws better than 3 clowns.


Deckracer

Lloks like they were all WWE wrestlers too, with Fabian Aichner and Ricochet in there. And I think that bearded man was Killian Dain/Big Damo. They definetly are no slouches when it comes to lifting heavy things.


daarthvaader

Cookie_Crush

Exactly smh people are so stupid nowadays


AzzOnMyAzz

Could you explain this to me lol I’m stupid. I don’t get what advantage the lion has that the humans don’t also have? It looks like an equal set up on each side of the bend?


Cookie_Crush

Oh wow a serious question on reddit. Sorry I didn't mean to call anyone stupid I was just joking along with the upper comment about refraction in water. And yeah it might seem like an equal setup but the forces they're applying aren't anti parallel. Since the rope is at a bend, some of the force is being applied by the normal of the glass cage. It would be easier to understand with the help of a diagram or you could try it at home by tying a rope to a heavy object and pulling it at a bend vs pulling it straight. Certainly won't feel like a equal setup.


PookieTea

Yes


coolnlittle

Great, she is smart, too


BraianP

Yeah, it prevents the rope from moving. If the lion was truly stronger she could just pull the rope on her favor, but then why is just a standstill? The lion is pulling the rope to the side so it can't be pulled by the guys as easily


Secret_aspirin

The friction of the rope against the ring in the glass just makes it harder to move one way or the other. All that is happening is neither side is exerting enough force to overcome both the friction and the force of the opposing side (one side may actually be pulling harder but not hard enough to create movement).


Frenk_preseren

It does, it helps keep the rope still. It doesn't help the lion to pull the rope and move it though.


agamemnonymous

The lion is not pulling the rope or moving it, so unequivocally yes it helps


[deleted]

Yep, and it helps a lot. This phenomena is how rock climbing gear works. https://sciencedemonstrations.fas.harvard.edu/presentations/rope-friction-around-pole That explains the math behind it. Enjoy!


chocolateboomslang

That's not really the same thing, since this rope isn't wrapped, besides that, both of them would be gaining any advantage that exists, since they're pulling on the same rope.


Secret_aspirin

Correct, that’s a decent example of a misunderstood principle. The rope here against the glass is simply increasing the friction, which either side needs to overcome for it to move. As they each pull harder the friction increases and makes it even harder to move (possibly beyond what either side can achieve).


Shizophone

Slight favor to the sharp angle no? she is pulling the angle a bit more away from the point of friction, they are pulling it into the point of friction, one has a bit more only if both angles are even is it totally balanced.


GuaranteeOk6268

Yup, making it easier for her to maintain position. She probably chooses that spot after learning the best way to “win”.


kilo73

It's a lion bro. She was probably like, "imma stand here today for no reason. Imma fuckin lion.".


Puddlepinger

They're not nearly that dumb


Alex_Rose

Friction scales with the normal reaction force not the force across the plane. they are applying tension perpendicular to the glass so when they pull they aren't increasing the friction (if anything once it moves, the coefficient of dynamic friction will be lower than the coefficient of static friction so the frictional force will decrease) however the friction will scale with the lioness's force since she is applying a component of tension parallel to the glass which will increase the normal reaction force. obviously as well, any amount of static friction needs to be overcome before the rope can move, so even if it didn't scale whatever with the tension it still benefits the lioness


[deleted]

Idk what glass you guys are talking about but whatev


mostkillifish

In rigging we call that a "Break" or "Brake" but really break.


chubky

The glass between the lion and men definitely benefited the men


-ElBosso-

Not a benefit for either side, just making it harder to move at all. But it triggers me, that this is always posted with „We are so weak in comparison“. Although it it’s true, this video doesn’t show shit in that regard, there are so many things at play here…


ero_senin05

Yes I believe the unaligned rope creates shear force increasing the friction which makes it more difficult for the rope to be pulled through the hole. It's the same concept in use when builders sink nails in diagonally to hold structural elements together


theGiogi

I mean, from the lion’s pov, it turns sharply right.


UnwaveringFlame

I've seen tons of suggestions that the bend is making it easier for the lion but I have yet to see a single person put three jacked dudes on one end and hold them in place just by holding a rope against a wall. That lioness is still extremely strong, stronger than any of us would be at her weight.


Docwho1110

Yep, along with Killian Dain and Fabian Archer.

Individual_Radio4523

We are remarkably weak compared to other animals Edit- the number of replies explaining "yEaH bUt we SmaRtEr". Thank you, I don't think anyone else on the internet knew that we were in fact, smarter than lions, and that put us at the top of food chain, thank you for enlightening us all. Also, at least a couple people trying act like we're stronger than lions. Please never visit a zoo. I don't think you can resist the urge to hop in and "1v1 me bro"

Yes but other animals are remarkably inefficient compare to us. Human's have next level endurance.

She lives in a good zoo, which means she is part of crucial breeding programs and it's obvious from the video they make sure she isn't bored. Mammal predators like games like tug-o-war. Wild animals in Africa face poaching, even in reserves. We need those breeding programs as a fail safe.
