On two occasions I've seen lions who were seriously practicing being elsewhere. I'm quite willing to believe that a lion can do the 100-yard dash in some four seconds.
A rich oilman decided that he oughta have some elk on his south Texas brush-country ranch. The lions agreed that it would be a great idea. The father of a close friend of mine was the ranch foreman. He tracked and wound up killing an 80-pound female who had dragged a 500-pound cow elk some 100 yards from the kill site to some brushy cover.
But lions are far more likely to track out of curiosity, and leave if disturbed by a human.
