In a one-on-one fight, an adult elephant would almost always defeat a lion due to its immense size, strength, thick skin, and powerful trunk and tusks, which can easily crush or impale the much smaller feline. While a pride of lions can sometimes take down a young or weak elephant by targeting vulnerable spots, a single lion stands little chance against a healthy adult, as it's roughly 20 times lighter and lacks the means to inflict fatal wounds quickly.
