the claim

Ostriches kick hard enough to kill a lion.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Ostriches kick hard enough to kill a lion?

Unclear. Several sources state that an ostrich's kick is powerful enough to kill a man or a jackal and to repel hyenas and leopards, but none of them addresses whether an ostrich could kill a lion.
