    Because the two are different species of animals, there are thousands of differences in genes between them, so their volume development is also different.

    Cats and tigers are both felines, and the reason for the large difference in size between the two is that they hunt different foods that lead to different evolutionary results. Due to the different predators, the different environments in which they live, and the influence of neutral genes, the size differences between cats are very large.

    Nowadays, many people will choose to keep cats as pets, which can bring a lot of fun to themselvesBut when we think about cats and tiger lions, they are both felines, but the tiger lion is many times larger than domestic cats, and we will feel like a toy in comparison, because domestic cats are just a small branch of felines.

    We will find a magical thing when we look at**, especially through the cultivation of immortals**, the orthodox bloodline power of a very powerful family is very powerful, and it can often achieve the effect of leapfrogging challenges, but it is very good to belong to other small branches of the same family, it can be said that it is no different from ordinary people, this is actually because the inheritance of the family's genes and the acquisition of bloodline are different; In the same way, we found that although cats and tigers and lions are both felines, but there is a very big difference between the two, not to mention the body type, even the posture of the movement is different, for example, the body of the cat is like water, and the capture at night needs to drill into the small hole to be fast, which makes the size of the domestic cat must be small.

    Let's think about it again, we keep domestic cats as pets, but no one dares to keep tigers and lions as petsThese are forced in the wild natural conditions to force them to have a terrifying running speed and top hunting ability, but also a lot of size, but domestic cats are not needed at all, there are owners at home to feed, this is the living environment perennial choice to change the way of life.

If you put wild tigers and lions together, the two animals will be inseparable, and their strength is not equal, and there is no distinction between strong and weak. Lions generally like to live in groups, and the leader of the lion pack seems to be a male lion, but in fact it is a lioness, once the male lion is no longer useful, he will be driven out of the lion group, and then a new male lion will be ushered in. Male lions mainly defend their territory and fight against wandering male lions, and generally do not participate in hunting. >>>More
