The lions together can outweigh Daeodon, and have precision to utilize with their claws and teeth. Therefore the lions win the battle.

[dinosauria101]

I back the American lions here as well. The numerical advantage would be a big help, as would Daeodon's inability for backward retaliation. Would be hard and close but I think the lions can slightly win.

[DonaldCengXiongAzuma]

Two American lions are enough to kill a deadon.

[dinosauria101]

What would be the reason? Probably not a mismatch but I'd favor Daeodon over 2 lions due to size and the ability to kill one quickly.

[DonaldCengXiongAzuma]

One on one the Daedon will win as it is much heavier. However, two American lions can probably take down a daedon if the corporate well. Once the American lions get on the Dawson’s back, there is little the wild pig can do. The suides does not have flexible forearms.

[dinosauria101]

^Yes, that's true.
The Daeodon is still about 3 times larger than a single lion however, and I feel just slightly more often than not, it'd be able to fling a lion off its back, kill it, and go for the next. The lions would have a chance however.
