African Lion: 1. Weight advantage 2. Grappling ability and hooked claws 3. Stamina 4. Stronger bite 5. Aggression (?) and competitive drive- The lion lives alongside more large competitors than a dragon does and has an arguably tougher life. 6. agility Komodo dragon: 1. Slicing teeth and bacteria bite 2. tough scales 3. low center of gravity making it hard to grapple with 4. Psychological edge- Lions are very wary of reptiles as a whole. It's more like this: Komodo Dragon: 1. Toughness 2. Could strike fear to it's opponents 3. Sharp and Strong claws, able to rip down trees by accident 4. Extremly strong tail capable of destroying ribcages 5. Slicing teeth 6. Venomous bite 7. Trained in fighting alone. 8. Grappling ability- seen when fighting 9. Low center of gravity African Lion: 1. Ferocity 2. Speed 3. Strong bite 4. Big canines 5. Strong paw 6. Grappling ability-seen when fighting 7. Pack hunter. 8. Size advantage For agility, I think it's a tie, since the dragon pursues deer and lions are capable of doing leaps, the dragon could also leap, but shorter.

This is the stupidest match-up I ever heard of.

I really hate people that say this is a mismatch, the Dragon is smarter and has more weapons, Lion is bigger and faster. But at agility, I think they're equal, well that's my opinion . I think it's 50/50 leaning towards the lizard. If those things were true then maybe, but they are not you see... Lions are smarter, yes dragons are very intelligent as reptiles go, maybe some of the smartest but they are not smarter than the cat. When it comes to weapons the dragon has 1 set jaws, 2 sets of claws and 1 tail. The lion brings 1 set of jaws and 4 claws. That's... Dragon - 4 Lion - 5 .... by my count. The lion is larger, by a great margin, stronger in both jaws and arms, faster, more agile, and has more experience fighting other large carnivores. Don't get me wrong the dragon has some advantages too, first and foremost, the venom thing, they are also very durable and tough animals and can take a beating. Unfortunately these aren't going to cover this fight; the venom is not going have time to take effect before it is out right killed, because despite its durability and defenses a lion is well equipped to tear it apart with tooth and claw.

Komodo dragon isn't a tough task for ferocious adult male lion.even leopards cougar jaguar hyenas and other relevant carnivorous beasts easily kill dragon then tigers and lions are very far matter.lions are capable of killing big crocodiles on land then dragon i think a very easy task for adult male lion.i'm not talking about lioness or tigress.their male counterparts are very dangerous and powerful and no land reptiles have that much power to kill a fully grown adult male lion or tiger.lions or tigers are very intelligent beasts as per preying is concerned.they know how to prey very well without getting hurt from animal on which they are hunting.claws of dragon are not so dangerous type as of lions and tigers have and they are also not so able to use their claws or tails against big cats.no doubt their bite can kill lions but a single bite on lion make lions very ferocious and agile against lizard and tear them apart.

Nightmarish mismatch, the lion is way too big.

On the other hand, you have multiple instances of lions being frightened by tiny monitor lizards.
I think on animal planet, multiple lions growled and backed away from their kill when a monitor lizard approached them. They eventually abandoned the slain buffalo. I spat out my food laughing.

I think it's 50/50 leaning towards the lizard. Actually they don't have venom.... there mouth is just full of bacteria. The bacteria then causes death in anything it bites.... just a bite on the paw of a lion or tail... or anywhere and lion will die.

The dragon has venom. There is a show on Netflix called venom islands. It discussed how the Komodo dragon has venom glands in its mouth.

The lion is bigger, faster, a better grappler, and has a stronger bite force (By FAR). Though, lions seem very wary around reptiles so it may avoid the dragon unless forced to fight.
And yes, the lion is doomed if the dragon manages to bite it.

They would tie the lion would rip the Komodo dragon apart but the lion would die from the Komodo dragons poison

The Komodo dragon has another weapon and that is its flicking tail

if the lion manages to stand on the back of the komodo and place a deadly bite on the neck the lion will win on the other hand if the komodo swvs very fast with the lion on its back it could land a deadly cocktail of its venom and death is assured

Lions are too quick for crocs, & prey on them - so an ora stands very little chance in a head-to-head combat.
The super-accurate, ultra-violent, percussive-penetrative brute-power of a lion paw-stike with its sharp, extended claws..
..will smash the ora, breaking its jaw, & likely - puncture its brain, killing it then & there, this is certainly feasible, since such dagger-hits by lion claws do indeed penetrate croc snouts..
