Why is a tiger called a tiger and a lion called a lion

It can be understood in this way: the old word in ancient times in a sense represents deep, sophisticated, mature, and scheming. For example, if someone is scheming, he will call him an old fox.

It represents the meaning of sophistication and power, for example, ginger is old and spicy. In ancient times, people were extremely brave and fierce and had patience and deep and sophisticated awe for predation, so they were crowned with old words. The tiger is brave by nature, cautious and suspicious, and extremely patient.

Caution and suspicion do not mean that the tiger is timid, but that the tiger respects no opponent and treats its prey so cautiously that it does not fight uncertain battles. will only rush to kill the reckless man without a brain, it is the tiger's caution and caution, so the tiger is rarely injured and will win. The patience of the tiger is something that no other animal can do.

If the tiger is napping and you let your guard down, you are wrong. The tiger can stay still for more than ten hours, looking listless, and once the prey relaxes its vigilance, the tiger immediately grabs the fighter.

Landlord, why are you asking such a boring question?

A1: The old lion is the same teacher. The tiger is the cub of the tiger.

A2: These two species are named tigers and lions, which is already decided, so why should they be renamed?

Hope to be able to help the overwhelmed landlord.

It's a philosophical question, why 1+1=2, what is 2, what is 1, who are you, who am I, oh my God.

Almighty hear your question cramp!
