    They have sensitive noses but they can’t be stopped mid charge and likely won’t be deterred by peeing in their face. Maintaining eye contact will make them slightly more hesitant but also angry.

    They swipe harder and faster than Mike Tyson in his prime, but if it’s a show lion it might be suffering from lifelong narcotics addiction so at least you’ve got that going for you. The bite force is enough to sever your limbs so never let it grab you.

    TLDR Stay away but don’t run, try to hit it’s nose but never get near its face.
