Daniel and the lions den tale does not count since it's fiction and it's from the bible which has as much merit as a mass murderer caught in the act swearing he did not do it.
I agree with some of your points Chatpilot but I absolutely hate it when people try to compare a wild animal fighting with man without his tools. If you take away the lion's "tools," i.e his teeth and claws, it would be a much more fair fight. A lion was born with its weapons on its body, man was born with a mind to create weapons to use for defense and offense. Man has learned to build tools and use them effectively and to take them away when in a fight with a cat isn't a fair comparison. If man really was as defenseless as your statement suggests, then we would not have survived this long out in the wilderness. Even before we had the technology of metal knives, guns, and explosives, we had the ingenuity to make a trap from vines and sticks along with spears from sticks sharpened by breaking them or sharpening them with a rock.
