I always knew right 4rm time dat lions are over-hyped. I still bliv d Elephant is d king of d plains.
My fav animal is Cat. I love Cats so so much. They re so cute.

thinkdip:

That's why I said compare, like for like.. same for same, don't compare terrestrial with aquatic. do bird for bird and octopus with other invertebrate.

you get my point.

Then why did owl represent wisdom in the whole animal kingdom? Why not just for the birds?

izombie:
What people don't understand about a tiger and a lion is that, yes the tiger is a little bigger and might be a little stronger than the lion but the lion has that mane. In combat, the lion mane is big shield against attacks. I have seen many lion vs tiger fights and have seen how great the tiger is at fighting. It can hit the lion several times but that lion mane minimises the damage that the lion may have suffered. So usually, whenever the lion lands a well aimed paw with sharp nails on the tiger's neck, the tiger usually backs down.

That system of the Tiger you people call back down is actually the greatest defense style of Tigers and Leopards, the Lion always avoid them when ever they do that because the Lions know it's their best form of Attacking.

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?

Yes the lion are very lazy but very strong. The more reason the females need them for protection.
Their protection service is so important that the lionesses work very hard to keep them.

FYI, d lions too participate in hunting, especially when d pack are going for a big kill like Buffalo, Giraffe, Hippo, Elephant etc

And it will be very hard for the Tiger to come across the lion because they operate on different terrain except incidentally and if they do, i bet you the tiger will work away.

Tiger can't withstand the attack of a lion.

In d wild, they can neva meet. But i dnt think d tiger will walk away 4rm a lion outta fear.

Adakintroy:
All things consider, lions are king of the jungle. No king rule a kingdom by itself. It's usally a group thing. Lions seem to posses that. Even though they are the strongest of the big cats. They still rely on group strength to ensure greater success.

Which is what kings do. The greater there stretch of kingdom the greater their dominance and chances of increase conquest.

Tigers are d strongest of d big cats.

Tapout:

A full grown tiger will kill a full grown lion in single combat.

Brah, when a lion n a tiger re engaged in combat, it's a 50-50 thing. The lion may kill d tiger, or d tiger may kill d lion.

JJOF:

In d wild, they can neva meet. But i dnt think d tiger will walk away 4rm a lion outta fear.

It will, Tigers mostly rely on scaring away their opponent, But lion attacks to kill. Even though they are both territorial, lions tend to kill than scare away

Yambee:
The bears.

They are found in the Jungle and pound for pound can kill any other animal easily, which can include the lion and tiger. The tiger avoids them in the jungle.

And lest i for forget, the lions are very lazy and depends on the lioness for food and everything. They sleep half of day. I liken them to Gigolo's.

You are the first nature smart Nairalander i have come across in years. Usually you find them abundantly dumb or just kids with phones and data donating spam anyhow over in politics section. How i manage to get drawn into arguments with them all the time i have no idea.

Bears are not all the same though. Some are mild in nature. If you want to see the real king of all animals in all its strength and size go north. The cold lands of North America is home to the Grizzly bear. Those bears will attack and destroy anything from a man on a horse to a truck that blasts its horn in its territory.

Have you got a gun? Grizzlies have been known to take five bullets from a rifle and still keep coming. I believe this bear, a full grown female with cubs or male in prime, will kill an elephant or lion if angered.

Kudus to your wisdom and knowledge fill mind.

sassysure:
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.

Lions are scared of Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos, n Snakes.
Then they shld b titld 'Kings of the Pride'.

God bless you Sir.

Akuruoulo:


Lions are designed for combat. They are always combating for superiority unlike the Tigers.
Sometimes lions do hurt. I have watched it so many times

I've watched a Tiger, dragging its prey with a croc in a river, even though it knws d croc can end its life in a matter of secs. Do u knw Tigers also hunt n kill Caimans?

germaphobe:
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.

Lyk criously? Wia did u here dat 1?

JFT24:


It will, Tigers mostly rely on scaring away their opponent, But lion attacks to kill. Even though they are both territorial, lions tend to kill than scare away

Lions n Tigers ve b made 2 combat each other many times, n d Tigers do not shrink back or look scared. Though it's true dat d Lion is more resilient dan d Tiger.

Kylekent59:
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.

In terms of jaw force... Jaguar > Hyena > Tiger > Lion.

lions because like u said their strength comes in numbers


just like humans , we are individually weak but together we rule the world

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

That's true. Lions are more resilient than Tigers.

I even 4got there was another big cat, the Jaguar, though I ve'nt done any research on them. Do dey really hunt down pythons n anacondas? Then dey must b fucking fearless.

Xkalaban:
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.

Almost all big cats(tigers, jaguars, cougars, leopards) are fierce, robust and very strong �

Akuruoulo:
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

How come lion n tiger meet?

Lions depend on the lionesses for food because they are too heavy to hunt.

Crysthaniel:
Pigs � are still stronger than horse..

Just as goats are stronger than cattles.

JJOF:

Tigers are d strongest of d big cats.

Debatable

tunjidachosen:


So where does it stay o? It doesn't stay in the jungle yet it kills giraffe, kills Buffalo, kills elephants, kills hyenas and even lesser cats for fun. So it comes from the city to do those killings abi? People will just type sha

oga, Lions live in Savanna while Tigers live in jungle. please be informed we'all here to learn

Akuruoulo:


U are wrong. TIGERS ARE THE STRONGEST AND HEAVIEST CAT. Do ur research properly. Tigers gat stronger claws, has biting force than the Lion.
Lion advantage in a fight is just that it's mane protects his neck from been biten.

TIGERS ARE STRONGEST CAT

Arguably. Add that.

Afonjas:



Lion is not the strongest of the big cat thats why the OP told you that they don't come first in anything.

TIGERS ARE THE STRONGESTS IN THE BIG CAT.

The Siberian tigers are the strongest

Subject to debate

freshngwaboy:
first, Lions don't stay in the Jungle and they aren't the strongest big cats.
there are factors to consider when laying such claims.
Tigers are the strongest big cats

it likely debatable. All the same point I look up the points.

eazriel09:


Just like the Lion you definitely know what you are writing that tiger and other animal hunt alone doesn't make them superior the fear of Dog like hyena is what makes tiger drags their kill to the top of the tree they even run away site of a lion. None of those cat can hunt big prey like bufallo, giraffe, zebra wild beast e.t.c. the hyena always threaten the lioness and engage them at any given opportunity but will take to their heels at the sight of a lion. The op is definitely not an animal enthusiasts and may have read those things from a book because if he sees animal documentary very often he won't arrive at that conclusion about King Lion

Tigers n Leopards are diff. U re referring to Leopards. Tigers n Lions, Hyenas, Cheetahs, Leopards, Buffalos, Zebras, Wilde beasts don't stay in d same area. The later stay in savannah regions.

Adakintroy:


it likely debatable. All the same point I look up the points.

Tiger beats lion in every aspect apart from bin social.
they are more Athletic, faster, better bite force, better swimmers, better climbers, more smarter e.t.c

JJOF:

How come lion n tiger meet?

I know they don't exist in the same environment. Check on YouTube for more info

toobusy:
but when the two meets on a single combat either in the jungle or anywhere else..... the tiger either runs for her life or ends up dead....op how do you react to that

U knw very little abt Lions and Tigers.
