Who is stronger, the African lion or the Northeast Tiger?

There is no comparability in theory. First of all, the living areas of the two species are different, and even if they are together, they are not comparable. Tigers live alone, except in mating season, while lions hunt with the cooperation of females, and males eat rice or only help a little. If the comparison is purely theoretical (ignoring the environment, temperature and terrain), the tiger should be better. After all, it does everything by itself and has more experience.

1, body shape comparison

Tigers are the largest cats, and there is no objection at present.

However, in the ancient western world, they were exposed to the largest African lion and the smallest tiger in Central and South Asia, which caused a visual misunderstanding that lions were the largest cats and became symbols of many western countries. It was not until more than a hundred years ago that they came into contact with the bigger and fiercer Hu, and finally changed this concept, forming a transition from lion-centered theory to tiger-centered theory.

In the east, the tiger has been sitting firmly in the main hall, which is a symbol of God, while the lion is just a gatekeeper and a symbol of wild animals.

As a result, due to the differences between East and West in liger's subjective consciousness, Dou liger's Millennium debate was finally triggered.

The struggle between wild animals often has considerable advantages, and it seems unconvincing that the big tiger won the lion. The following situations are quite similar to those of liger.

2. Physiological data

The following telegram contains almost all the physiological characteristics of this beast:

(1) skull comparison

Lions feel great visually because of their manes. In fact, after removing the mane, it is similar to a tiger. After peeling, it is difficult to distinguish liger, so the skull has little difference.

The mane is a symbol of the lion, which is often infinitely exaggerated and even becomes a decisive weapon. In biology, the role of male mane is defined as: the display of strength between male lions, the criteria for female lions to choose a mate,

The mane has a certain defensive effect on the lion, but it also weakens its attack ability.

(2) Heart volume

Anatomically, the heart capacity of a tiger is larger than that of an African lion, which is quite important. Among opponents with the same physical quality, it shows that a species has greater explosive power, endurance and physical recovery ability.

(3) mouth

The opening of the cat's mouth is about 60 degrees (saber-toothed tiger can reach 100 degrees), and the bulbous muscles of the tiger's mouth are the most developed in cats. There is little difference in bite force in liger, but the tiger is slightly stronger, about 450kg for a tiger and 400kg for a lion (attached: crocodile's rear end is about1000 kg (2,200 lbs), and its front end is 770kg.

The tooth length of tiger and dog is about 6cm, that of male lion is about 5cm, the biting depth of tiger is about 1 1cm, and that of male lion is about 9cm. The bite depth of 1cm can often determine whether the other person is alive or dead, which also makes the lion's prey mortality rate far less than that of the tiger.

But the roots of the lion's teeth are slightly thicker than those of the tiger. Biologists explain that the reason why lions have thick teeth is that lions can't kill their prey quickly, which leads to their resistance. In order not to break canine teeth in the process of resisting prey, canine teeth have evolved to be thicker.

(4) forelimbs

Tiger Claw is the largest of the cats. The claw width of male tiger is about10.5-11.5 cm, that of female tiger is about 8.5-9.5cm and that of male lion is about 7.5cm.

Clapping hands is a common technique used by tigers, and the palm strength is the highest among cats, reaching 1 ton, which is stronger than that of lions 10%. Clapping your hands is not the characteristic of a lion whether it kills or preys.

All cats have the habit of grinding their claws, but the frequency of lions grinding their claws has decreased in adulthood, which is related to their living environment, so their claws are not as sharp as tigers.

Tiger Claw is the longest of the cats, with a tiger about 10cm, a tiger 9.2cm and a lion 8cm.

Lions are often thrown off by large prey, which shows that their forelimbs are not strong enough and their claws are not deeply embedded, so it is extremely difficult for tigers to be thrown off by bison.

(5) Hindlimb

The lion's hind legs are not strong enough and can only be semi-upright, so the lion is not good at flapping, while the tiger's hind legs are strong and can be completely upright. Standing upright is one and a half heads taller than a lion.

The strength of hind limbs directly affects the jumping ability. Tigers can jump to a height of 2.2-2.4m, females are about 1.8m, tigers can jump to a height of 6.5m, females are 4.5m, and males can hardly jump.

Tigers have thicker limbs, while lions have much thinner limbs.

(6) Muscle

Hu Meng and lions belong to the tropics and subtropics, and their muscles are similar. The tiger's shoulders are very strong, and the lion's strength is concentrated on his neck.

The fat of Siberian tiger is mainly under the skin, not attached to the muscle, and the muscle weight can account for about 70% of the whole body weight. According to the anatomical report of China biologists on the Northeast Tiger, the muscle fibers of the West Tiger are extremely thick, and almost no fat can be found, which is stronger than the muscles of the best bodybuilders.

(7) skeleton

Tigers have more perfect bones, and the average bone density is about 1.2% higher than that of lions, which means that tigers are stronger and more resistant to fighting.

(8) Speed

The sprint speed of the Northeast Tiger is about 56 km/h, which is much faster in Meng Hu, about 68 km/h, 64 km/h for the female lion and 56 m/h for the male lion. ..

(9) Flexibility

The tiger is slender, while the lion is short, which means that the tiger can make a wider range and more dexterous turn.

(10) Other

In terms of balance, tigers can walk on the balance beam of gymnastics, but lions can't.

Although the tiger's tail is not as powerful as the legend, it is still its attack weapon, and the lion's tail has no attack effect.

Cat watchers think that tigers are cunning and lions are straightforward.

The above is the comparison of physical hardware, and the following is the comparison of liger's life practice, which is actually the comparison of technical software.

Skills are very important to wild animals. Someone simulated a beast-beast duel before, but it was immediately regarded as a joke, because only the hardware data was entered, but the skill data was forgotten. Because according to this simulation, cheetahs won't catch impala and leopards won't catch zebras, because these prey are stronger than hunters, and zebras can kick leopards over with one foot, but the data shows that leopards won't escape, 100% will be kicked over. ...
