Also in the feline family, why are lions social animals and tigers living alone?

When it comes to the issue of lions and tigers living in groups and the other preferring to live alone, I would like to relate to the following three points. First, it has to do with physiological structure. The lion is larger though.

Large adult male lions are about 200 to 250 kilograms. But its instantaneous sprint speed is not very fast. (about 50 to 60 kilometers per hour) is not like the cheetah, which accelerates to 90 kilometers per hour in a few seconds.

For some medium-sized animals, such as: zebras, moose, antelope, etc. may not be exceeded. Small animals hide in the grass again.

Difficult to find. The lion is three times larger than the dog, but the bite force is not as strong as the dog. The lion's melon seed strength is much worse than that of the tiger, but the bite force is slightly stronger than that of the tiger!

When I watch "Animal World", I often have a male lion king who loses in the battle for the "harem", or an adult female lioness, many of whom are old and weak, sick or physically injured, once they are left alone, they may be killed by the dogs.

But the king of the forest, the tiger, is different, with a natural bite strength similar to that of a lion and a similar weight. Compared to lions, tigers are more ferocious and nimble. In addition, sharp melon seeds are more lethal, and once the melon seeds scratch the face or neck blood vessels of a lion or dog, they can also be fatal with one move.

Tigers live mainly in forests, hills, or small hills that are not very high altitude. Sometimes even though it is an adult tiger dealing with a group of wolf dogs (tigers rarely go to the continent, they can't meet dogs), the tiger only needs to lean on a small hill or stone slab behind him to prevent the enemy from the belly and back, and is not afraid of the attack of the wolves, so the tiger dares to be a "lone ranger", it can be seen that being a lone ranger is to have some ability!

Second, it is related to the living environment. The lion, known as the king of the steppe or the king of beasts, sometimes does not take the lion king into account when he is alone, even elephants, rhinoceros, hippos or large bulls with horns. Lions mainly live in the vast and flat grasslands of Africa, and there are few places to hide, which is not conducive to ambushing animals, which is the environment that forces lions into a team.

But lions are different once they form a team, including lone hippos, rhinos, and even elephants, which sometimes become prey for lions.

Lions forming a team is conducive to the continuation of their species and does not become extinct. Tigers are different, compared to the open "nomadic" life of lions (migrating with their prey), tigers also have caves, and if they can't beat the wolves, they hide in their holes, so tigers dare to live alone. Third, the habits of animals are different.

Lions are a "patrilineal tribe" formed with male lions as the center. Male lions have a habit of killing each other over the throne.

The lion king himself gave birth to a male lion who grew up and was also expelled by his father. It is called cannibalism. If you don't form a group, you may be bloodied by other lions.

Tigers, on the other hand, rarely eat each other, so they are not afraid to walk alone. In addition, researchers from the University of Oxford have done research on the brain capacity of lions and tigers. It was found that the lion has the same IQ as a leopard, equivalent to a one-and-a-half-year-old child, and a tiger is equivalent to a two-year-old child.

Tigers, who are smarter than lions, are better at camouflage or hiding to avoid group attacks. So it's no surprise that lions like to live in groups, and tigers like to walk alone.

Because tigers live in forests, if they live in groups, they are easy to expose their targets, which is not conducive to hunting, and lions live in grasslands, and living in groups is conducive to survival.

Tigers live in forests, where there are many small and medium-sized animals, and tigers mainly prey on medium-sized prey such as antelopes, wild boars, and deer. Moreover, the prey in the forest is not as abundant as in the African savannah, and if the tigers live in groups, the prey in an area cannot meet the consumption of the tiger population at all, so the tigers can only live alone. Lions, on the other hand, live in the wilder African savannah, where most of the animals are larger.

For example, elephants, rhinoceros, hippos, bison, etc., while lions mainly prey on wildebeest, bison, zebra and other larger prey, most of the lionesses participate in predation, and male lions are generally only responsible for guarding the territory and not participating in predation. If it is a lone lioness, it does not have the ability to hunt these large prey, so it can only choose to live in a group, and everyone cooperates with each other and works together to be able to hunt these large prey.

The habit of living in groups and solitary is not a criterion for judging the division of species into families and genera. As a top cat, the lion lives in groups due to the environment, and the tiger lives alone in order to adapt to the environment.

The big lions and tigers that we like more are all animals that live in groups, and they all live in groups, and their ancestors have lived together for generations and are very united, and then they are very combative.

Lions are social animals because they live in a dangerous environment and are very competitive, so they must live in groups to survive. Tigers, on the other hand, generally stay in deep mountains and forests, and if they live in groups, it is not conducive to them to lurk and hunt.

Both lions and tigers are kings of the forest, and they are both social animals and generally do not act alone. Both lions and tigers are very ferocious. Especially wild lions and tigers.

Lions are social animals. Tigers are not, lions and tigers are both beasts of the steppe, and both are very strong, both are carnivores.

Lions are social animals, male lions will act as the leader of the group, they are responsible for the safety of the group, directing the hunt, while the female lion is responsible for the specific hunting and care of the family, if the male leader dies or leaves the lion pack, there will be a new male lion to lead.

Lion. Lion, known as 狻猊 in ancient China. This big cat lives in Africa and Asia and is the largest living average weight and the only dioecious cat in the world.

It lives in savannahs and meadows, but also occurs in shrubs and dry forests. Carnivorous, often ambushing other warm-blooded animals. It is found in the African savannah, Asia and India.

Lions live for 10 to 14 years in the wild and live longer in captivity, generally more than 20 years.

Habit. Lions usually live in groups, with a pack of about 8 to 30 members, with an average of 17 heads. These often include successive generations of female lions, at least one adult male lion and some growing lion cubs.

Female lions form the core of the lion pack and rarely leave their birthplace. The lion pack consists of 2 adult males, but only one is definitely the leader. Adult males tend not to stay with the lions and have to roam around their territory all year round to defend the entire territory.

They are generally able to lead a lion pack for a few months to several years, depending on whether they are capable enough to defeat exotic male lions.
