What speed can a lion reach when charging?
A lion is deceptively fast over a short distance. Claims of up to 80 km/h have been made but not yet proven. This seems rather fast for an animal the size of a lion with its relatively short legs and bulky body. Shorter sprints of 40 to 60 km/h would be more realistic.
