Lion definately - It will sneak up on you and attack from behind going for the neck.. Bears will usually confront you first prior to the attack, so at least you have a chance to react.
Now......we haven't talked about Grizzley bears. There is no way in hell that I would camp, hike, hunt, fish or otherwise be in Grizzley country for any reason other than by accident. These MoFos are virtually unstoppable by Joe Blow hunter unless he's got his entire posse with him. And, then MAYBE. If I found myself in Grizzley country, I would want to have the biggest caliber semi-auto longgun that I could get my hands on and a backup 6" barreled .44mag Smith revolver. And, my Randall knife, of course. That way I could cut my own throat if I ran out of shells.
You want to look behind you every now and again to see if you are being stalked, in heavy lion country - or so I've read.
