How to tell the difference between an Asiatic lion and an African lion, and the difference between a

1. Different morphological characteristics.

Asiatic lion. It is the largest of all the lion subspecies before the degeneration. They are meters long, 170-250 kg for males and 90-170 kg for females.

The longest male lion in scientific records is feet long and feet tall at the shoulder. Asiatic lions have a long mane on their necks, but are more than African lions.

Much shorter. The African lion is the largest cat in Africa.

The fur is light yellow and brown. The average weight of an adult African lion is between 200 and 250 kilograms, and the overall length can reach meters. The male lion has a large head, a wide face, a long nasal bone, and a black nose. The ears of lions are short and round. Female lions have short, semicircular ears, while cougars.

The ears are long and pointed.

2. Different living habits.

Asiatic lions prefer to live in packs and often hunt in packs, but most are female lions, while male lions prefer their fruit. They are driven downwind by one lion to the others and then rush together towards their prey.

They need a lot of water to drink when they are full, and Asiatic lions live in tropical monsoon climates.

Rainy seasons are rare and droughts are frequent, so they often need to travel long distances after predation in search of water.

Among African lions, females are mainly responsible for hunting, while males usually defend their territory (1 10 males and females are involved in hunting, such as large prey and coyotes.

Like all cats, lions are smaller than lions.

Asiatic lions' manes are generally pale yellow in color. The black head is most pronounced on the outer back of the hair. Asiatic lions have fewer manes and are smaller in size.

Asiatic lions will have a lot of hair on their knees on their front legs. The easiest thing to distinguish is the eyebrows on the top of the eyes, which are larger, wider and longer. The African lion is thin and short, you can find it by taking a few ** and looking at it.

It's not just African lions! Compared with the Asiatic lion and the African lion, who is the "king" of the two?

The cougar is also known by many aliases such as jaguar, jaguar, mountain lion, and bobcat, and it mainly lives in the mountains or hilly areas of North and South America. It is slightly larger than a leopard, but not as large as an African lion, with a cat-like face and a figure-eight beard.

Although the cougar and the African lion belong to the same carnivorous cat family, also known as the "lion", they can have many differences in their living habits, and some are even rare among other beasts, the most prominent of which is its "three odds".

One wonder is its mildness.

African lions are ferocious and often attack in groups to kill large animals, as well as humans.

Even when they are not hunting, they often fight each other for territory, thrones, and food. But the cougar mainly preys on more docile animals such as deer and wild sheep, and sometimes lacks food, and also steals some domestic animals such as cattle, horses, pigs, and sheep. What is puzzling is that although the cougar is also a large beast with a certain ability to attack, it not only does not hurt people, but is also absolutely afraid of people, and runs away when it sees people coming.

Sometimes hunters have wounded the cougar, and it rarely fights back, so people often call the cougar "friend of man".

The second odd is its flexibility.

Despite their burly physiques and strong bodies, African lions are slow to react and often have to go out in groups to succeed when hunting their prey. But the cougar is very flexible, has a light body, and is very good at fan edge and vertical jumping. It can leap up to 12 meters; Jump up to a tree more than 4 meters high; Rushing downward, you can reach the ground from the top of a tree tens of meters high; It can also climb trees, which is beyond the reach of African lions.

In this respect, the cougar is very much like a cat.

Sanqi is its curiosity.

That's the most peculiar and interesting part. Anyone who has been to the cougar's homeland will find that the cougar often follows the person, and when the person turns back, he hurriedly hides, and when the person goes further, he will quietly follow. People who are new to cougars are often frightened and think that they are looking for an opportunity to do it, but in fact they are just curious about people.

<> "There is a big difference between the two kinds of lions.

First of all, the African lion is much larger than the Asiatic lion. Usually Asiatic lions weigh between 110 kg and 190 kg, while African lions weigh between 120 kg and 275 kg, and in terms of size, African lions are on average 25% larger than Asiatic lions. At the same time, most African lions have thicker sideburns than Asiatic lions.

Not only that, but comparatively speaking, African lions are stronger than Asiatic lions.

Asiatic lion) African lion).

The prey of African lions is larger, and most of the targets when hunting are large and medium-sized prey such as African bison and wildebeest. The prey of Asiatic lions is much smaller, mainly small and medium-sized animals such as sambar deer and gazelles.

Moreover, the Asiatic lion is also much worse than the African lion, the lion group of the African lion has about 9-40 lions, including adult lionesses, cubs and 1-4 male lions, while the Asiatic lion has an average of only two lionesses and several lion cubs.

Male lions do not stay in the lion pack, but wander around, so there is no lion king in the lion pack of Asiatic lions. Only during the breeding season will the male Asiatic lion come to the lioness and live together for a while before leaving the group.

These differences between Asiatic lions and African lions are due to the different living environments, which make the habits and appearance of the two lions very different.

In the subcontinent, the Asiatic lion lives in jungle rather than savanna like Africa, so the wildlife here is smaller and can also be hunted by ambush because of the jungle cover. This does not require the Asiatic lion to be robust and more flexible, so the Asiatic lion has become smaller and slimmer, and has a more similar ambush strategy to other cats when hunting.

At the same time, the environment of the South Asian subcontinent makes it difficult for lions to form large families to live together. It is necessary to spread out and reduce the hunting pressure of the lions. As a result, the social nature is reduced.

And living in the jungle, let the male lion's sideburns not grow too luxuriantly, so as not to affect the activity. In fact, some lion species living in the stupid jungle in West Africa have relatively sparse sideburns, which is also the reason!
