Hi, I have spotted an apparent error in the following verse, which is annoying me. Proverbs 30:30 states, in multiple translations, that the lion does not turn away from other animals... but in fact lions do indeed turn away from other beasts. They usually retreat in the face of a herd of buffalo; they turn and get out of the way of aggressive elephant. Even hyaenas will run them off a kill if they outnumber them.
Can anyone find a way to resolve this apparent discrepancy?

New American Standard Bible (NASB):
30 The lion which is mighty among beasts
And does not retreat before any,
King James Version (KJV):
A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
