No one knows it all. What you thought was true today may just become false tomorrow. There are a few things we know about a few animals but we don't really know if they're true or not. Read this article to learn 5 wrong animal stereotypes we've been using to judge animals

5 wrong animal stereotypes

Lions are the king of the jungle
Lions to many people, represent pride. Pride literally a group of lions. Here are some facts about lions:
*Male lions, when in a pride, mostly relies on the females for food. The females mostly do the hunting
*When male lions become the alpha male of a pride, they kill and (sometimes) eat the cubs of the females impregnated by other males
*Lions don't come first in anything; not in size, strength, speed, niche, etc.
*Most lions aren't found in the jungle or forest. They can be found in grasslands, wildernesses, savannas, etc.
*Other animals fear lions because lions are social animals (strength in numbers), predators and scary

How can lions be the kings of the king of the jungle if they mostly aren't found in the jungle? How can lions represent pride when all they do is sleep, hunt for food and eat? Why don't lions come first in anything? Such kings they are.

Let's talk a little about tigers:
*Tigers are mostly solitary. They only meet each other accidentally or when it's mating time. Although they're solitary, they still hunt successfully and dominate
*They're mostly found in the jungle/forest. In other words, they dominate the forest
*Tigers are the biggest cats
*Their limbs are so strong that if they die standing, they still won't fall

Now, who should be the king of the jungle?

Only in a Sprint fight, tigers lack energy to fight for long.they're master strategists!
Tapout:


Lol... But on a more serious note, the lion doesn't really do much to be given that title. Thier strength lies in the pride which consists of mostly lionesses. Unlike other cats that are solitary. A full grown tiger will kill a full grown lion in single combat.

Thats wrong tho. The lionesses do protect their cubs from the alpha males. The killing is usually done when the lioness isn't near or watching.

Lion is exactly like the human kings and queens.
He don't fight unless situation calls for it as the last option and he is fearless.

Als cos he lead a pack in the pride. what other big cats can't do as they live solitary lives.
What makes one a king? Cos you have people u lead. He leads the rest.



So does Lion lead or rule over Tiger?

lazy or not lions still got the respect and fear of other animals not because of it's kingship but because of its courage to face obstacles expecially alpha lions. And even the tiger runs when he fights a lion.

Point of correction. Tigers are the strongest big cat..
There are documentaries on a fight between both males, tiger won

....it might look as if they are lazy but they are not, just like the way the lion depends on the lioness for food, the lioness depends on the lion for protection against lions from other pride that might want to kill the lioness and it's cub and moreover before a lion is accepted to a pride you must show you capable of protecting the pride so it is all just division of labour .The lion in a pride work is even riskier to me because attack from another pride might kill him
Thank you,it's more of a division of labor and protection from other lions is very important,also they partake in taking on big preys.

I still fear the Jaguar . Very sharp teeth, claws, limb, and very ebullient.

Only Jaguars can combat bigger snakes such as large python and Anacondas.


I bet you, Jaguar will finish a lion in no time.


It's just a battle between a Jaguar vs Tiger .

Jaguars bite is stronger then a lions and a tigers. “Jaguars have the strongest bite of any cat on the planet. Their 1,350–2,000 psi beats out lions and tigers substantially.” Hyenas, lions, and tigers generate around 1,000 psi. Therefore jaguars win there as well.

There was this time SOO many hyenas were attacking two lioness, and they were scared. Running up and down . They even stayed gentle as if they aren't lioness anymore. As Soon one Lion run towards there here caught one hyena, and the others ran away. THEY ARE FOR COMBATS AND PROTECTION, NO MOSTLY FOR HUNTING.

Birds are much more developed than octopuses. An octopus is an invertebrate. Can you compare the brain of the snail to the brain of the bird? Octopus and snail are in the same phylum mullosca

There was also a time a tiger was attacking a lioness, thou the lion can not or may not defeat the tiger, yet he ran down and took over the fight. Don't call them weak/lazy

Totally disagree with you on Lion . Lion is always a king of jungle, it can hunt only when the prey is too powerful for lioness that is where the king would come in.
About fast, speed, etc you mentioned,these are not a quality of a king. If you know about lion very well every great lion has a territory under it control.
Mere looking you know that lion has a good quality of being a king. Lion is a king of jungle.



Get this fact into your skull.

LIONS DON'T LIVE/OPERATE IN THE JUNGLES.

In my own view... Lions are the kings of beasts while a tigers are the kings of the jungle... Tigers are the biggest of all big cats and have been recorded to win more in duels with lions... They are more aggressive and can use their two front paws to battle unlike lions... Jaguars are formidable too and can hold their own against lions and tigers but they're still no match

a Tiger can never run away from a lion. battles between these two has been staged too many times in ancient Rome and Tiger has always won. at the end of the 19th century the Gaekwad of Baroda arranged a fight between the big cats before an audience of thousands. the Gaekwad placed a bet on the Lion and lost 37,000 rupees because the Tiger won. most times the Tiger won these fight with just a swipe of paw

Tigers avoid lions in the jungle?? How is that so when Lions are found in Africa and Tigers in Asia?? You are mistaking Leopards for Tigers. Lol.

The lion biggest enemy is the Hyena and that's because they are known to hunt for the same food and live in the same habitat. There are always clashes between these two animals.

Lol, huncle Lions are still the kings o. The furs on their big head is enough to scare away any animal on this planet. Plus they are scared of nothing except the sound of guns and maybe respect for big rhinos and elephants. Other than that Lions are ready to attack anything whether with their pride or solo. They're fierce, robust and very strong.
