Just like we have the cat family(Felidae) that's how we have the dog family(Canidae) so calling a Hyena dog is not wrong
hyenas belongs to the family Hyaenidae so it's not a dog or classified under dog family

Nice piece of work. But believe it or not, Lion is still the king of most terrestrial habitat... Lion vs Tiger one on one in the 'so called jungle', lion will still win. Staying in the Savannah/grassland doesn't make it less of a king in a jungle if it enters there.
Again, lions might really seem lazy but the intensity and power of their strength and bravery over their prey and competitors in time of action are second to none.

Lion is still Lion forget... Argue with your Nat Geo Wild channel.

Lions depend on the lionesses for food because they are too heavy to hunt.
Thats not accurate ,male lions have a mane,and that does not help with active camouflaging,this favours the females ,but once the females engage a powerful prey lets say a male savanna buffalo,or giraffes ,basically any thing too strong for the female lioness to take down he uses his raw power to bring it down ..PS even with the mane Lil s have been known to hunt thou its not often...

Point is that female Lions do the job and other big cats also hunt large predators.

All science topics are by opinions though so you're doing a great job by airing yours
Lol

Without the Lion in the pride then the job of the lionesses sometimes doesn't bring enough food for everyone. I mean, they will kill but try to eat as much as they can before the hyenas and their kind show up. The lionesses get bullied and their kill taken because of the number of the hyenas and their fearlessness. And the other big cats you talk about may get big kills but also get bullied too and some even get bullied by a lion pride.

Now, a pride with a Lion doesn't need to rush; they eat to their satisfaction. A pride with a Lion is fearless. The Lion may sleep for most parts but that's the point; to conserve energy. The Lion, almost twice the size of a lioness, secures the kills and only gets involved when they go after a large prey. The Lion is a bully and the hyenas never dare go close to a pride with a king.

Even the hyenas in The Lions King shivered at the sight of Mufasa grin grin

So just chill with it

Pigs are very dirty

You'd definitely feel insulted if someone calls you a pig. We all know pigs to be very dirty. Let's study the pigs:
*If given the chance, pigs don't poop close to where they sleep or eat.
*Pigs don't have sweat pores so they rely on the coolness of the ground to keep their body from over heating. This means that they love the mud, not because they just want to play or become dirty but because it's their natural instinct of survival.
*Pigs are smarter than our household pets so they're more easily trained than cats and dogs

Well, pigs need the dirt to survive. Why does your dog like to roll in the dirt?


The poop thing na lie.
U definitely dont rear them

Lions are not worthy to be called "the King of their jungle " becoz they can't stand a fierce hungry tiger in a fight, not to talk an elephant
I don't know about one on one combat but with their social structure they can take on anything. Their social structure is their greatest strength.

Besides why will one lion want to take down an elephant? Thor is badass but won't go hunting for Thanos all by himself wink Does that make him less of a god?

What sort of fnckd up comparison is dat? One mature bull elephant will scare away a pride of lions. Lions only hunt elephant calves, n d success rate is low, due 2 d fact dat elephant calves most of d time stay with d herd.

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



The places you can find Lion is motor-able, you can ride your car close to lion,

but in Jungle where Tigers live/operate, it's always forest, you hardly move with leg in the bush let alone driving a car.


1. picture is the type of place Lions live.
2. picture is the type of place where Tigers live

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.


Even though the experiment is inhumane, i will comment. Do you even know that these carnivores mostly aim at the jugular when attacking so as to cause maximum damage and death to their enemy. You will observe that the lion's mane gave it an advantage over the Tiger.

If they are put together in a fight to death, the Lion will definitely win but with severe body injury.

One thing you must understand is that Tigers are not just good hunters, they are better hunters than Lions.

Leopards are the best hunters

Even in the water, the croc dare not attack the tiger. Don't u know tiger is a very good swimmer? Not only swimming sef, it's very lethal in water. and on ground it stand no chance against the canines. So, both the food is dragging and the croc are all food

Even cheetah can kill croc

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

Yea that's true too. But there's just something about lions. They back down for none. It's only a Tiger that can go head to head with a Lion. Tigers are more agile and skillful but lions are straight up brutes that don't know what it means to back down from a fight.

Hmmm. Well, on the Lion not being the King...
U know, those exact points u found to discredit them, are actually tools that ll buttresses their kingship _They aint the top/best/first in any quality (Even though they possess them optimally). They dont have the most strength, not the biggest, not the fastest, not the wisest etc_ And oh, they have some pretty bad attributes too, like being lazy.
But is that what being king is all about? Hell No. Its all in mentality. Attitude. Mindset. Lions dont fucking care about being the most qualified. Those so called "inadequacies" are nonexistent to them. They are fearless. They dont know intimidation. They have the courage of a full planet. They pride themselves. They walk about in confidence. They dare anything. They go after whatever they want.
So do tell me, what is king again?

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

U seem to be d one saying tins read from a book. Tigers singlehandedly take down preys three times bigger dan dem... Like gaur, even bears (in case of food scarcity)

That system of the Tiger you people call back down is 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.

Finally, someone who truly understands the big cats...!
