When you think about it a Lion has to have Avery strong and dense jaw bone and teeth. For them to be able to break a Buffalo's neck with their teeth makes this mandatory.

The Lion in question did receive a broken jaw and lost most of the teeth on the right side but the bullet failed to penetrate beyond and exited out the lower cheek. It must have been a scary time as Kurt was on his hands and knees in thick thorn when the Lion came. The tracker couldn't even move out of the way and just sunk straight into the earth..

He was shooting A Square Lion Loads which also probalbly contributed to the story.
