Lion any day, unless there was a large pack of wild dogs, and even then the lion would probably win.

It has happened that large packs of ten or more wild dogs have overcome lions, although not without huge numbers of them being killed. Keeping the lion busy by making rushes from one side then the other, wearing it down, and inflicting wounds that bleed and weaken the cat.

There have been documented records also of dholes, the Asian wild dogs, killing tigers in this fashion. One pack of 33 dogs killed a large male tiger in Uttar Pradesh in 1981, although losing 15 of their numbers to the tiger's strength.

In another instance, 23 dogs had a tigress surrounded, and were wearing her down, despite her killing three of the pack. Suddenly a large male tiger appeared, and scattered the dogs, killing two before the dogs ran off.
