Could 40 midgets defeat a lion?

[X]

I still think minus any tools no hope. If they could fashion a rope to strangle or restrain the lion with .

How about killing just 2 midgets and making a rope out of their intestines ? Admittedly, you may not get as much intestine out of one of them as you would out of Valuev, but 2 should suffice.

What do they use to get the intestines out fast enough to make a rope with them within 5 minutes? Is that possible without a knife?

Good point .... how about if they just sent two midgets out to kill the lion on their own? They would most certainly be killed and lions do disembowel their prey ..... perhaps they could get at the intestines after that?

Actually, I would just kill kill a couple of midgets anyway, regardless of whether they could be harvested.
