Note that an elephant can even take down 7 attacking lions in a large pride by charging and crushing them to death. One lion cannot kill an elephant due to the elephant's thick skin, muscles, and size. At least 10 lions are good enough to kill an elephant.
No. An elephant has thick hide and would trample the lion to death.

∙ 11y agoI've seen clips of Lion prides attempting to corner a Rhino or chasing a Rhino but nothing more. Rhinos have a thick armor that Lions in all likelyhood would find impossible to penetrate.Besides that a Rhino is about 4tons of armor and a leathal horn and speed which makes it exceedingly dangerous for even for a couple of full grown males to take on.

∙ 12y agono elephants can not kill lions it is elegal
Um... on WHAT PLANET do elephants have to follow the Endangered Species Act? Of course they can kill lions, and quite easily I might add. One swat from an elephant's 400lb trunk is more than enough to break the spine of a lion. It can also gore the lion with its seven-foot tusks, or just throw it off balance and crush it beneath those massive feet. Even an entire pride of lions wouldn't dare attack an adult bull elephant in his prime, and persistent attacks would likely do nothing more than provoke the Goliath-like pachyderm into a rage. An elephant can go completely mad and destroy EVERYTHING in his path. He can charge through walls, crush mighty carnivores, you name it- if it's a life form found on land, chances are an elephant is more than enough to kill it.

Humans are the only predator that a elephant has. ADDENDUM: Humans are not elephants' only predator. Elephants are also hunted by lions, hyenas and wild dogs.
