With the highest number of subscribers on YouTube, Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson regularly shares videos showcasing his creative and adventurous challenge ideas.

This past Saturday, the 5th of July, I found myself in an exhilarating spectacle where diverse men faced off against a variety of extraordinary beasts – from a fearsome lion to a grizzled bear, even a fleet-footed cheetah! What a thrilling experience!

In an extraordinary matchup, legendary strongman Brian Shaw faces off against a live lion in a contest of strength – and he’s joined by other renowned figures in this thrilling video.

Brian Shaw wins tug of war against lion

In the spotlight for his remarkable feats such as lifting 1,100 pounds and pulling an entire plane, Shaw stepped into a fenced enclosure, facing off against a lion across the barrier. Ready to engage, they each took hold of a rope and commenced their interaction, or ‘game’.

A few moments passed, and the lion started to wriggle and contort as it tried to emerge victorious in the game. However, the powerful man swiftly yanked the rope nearly completely out of the gate.

In this scenario, YouTube personality MrBeast pitted Darius Clark, the man with the world-record vertical jump, against a tiger. Surprisingly, the tiger leaped an astounding 10 feet into the air, while Darius outdid his own record of 12 feet 2 inches by soaring one inch higher.

Afterwards, one man gathered funds amidst a circular arena inhabited by bulls, whereas another chose to engage in combat with a sumo wrestler rather than confront a massive brown bear.

Or, more casually:
After that, a guy was gathering cash in the middle of a bullpen, and another picked a fight with a sumo wrestler instead of tackling a huge grizzly bear.

Instead of making the video more active, MrBeast teamed comedian Trevor Wallace with what he calls “the best painting elephant on Earth.” Together, they created an artwork in the video.

In the most difficult part of the video, Donaldson personally took part in a race, competing against a golf cart, a minivan, and a Formula E car, as well as a real cheetah. The cheetah outpaced the first two vehicles, but was no contest for the racing car.

Not long after sharing the video, MrBeast posed a question to fellow YouTube personality IShowSpeed, inquiring whether he’d be interested in competing against a cheetah in a footrace.
