For cute little animals, life safety is crucial, so many goggle-eyed little animals are born to run, but also because their mothers cannot always be by their side, so they have to learn to protect themselves before they grow up, and this is not much different from us humans.


Because everyone has the experience of being a little child, all the way down to becoming smart because of education and being rendered a good person by their families. And it is the same with animals in nature, so today I will tell you about lions.


For thousands of years, the topic of the battle between lions and tigers has been debated, and from children who are just learning to read pictures to old men with silver hair, there is almost always the doubt: who is the best, the lion or the tiger?


In the ancient Western world, the lion was considered the largest feline and became the symbol of many Western countries. In the East, on the other hand, the tiger has always been firmly in the middle hall and a symbol of the gods, while the lion is nothing more than a god of gatekeeping and a symbol of a fierce animal. This difference in the subjective perception of the lion and the tiger has led to the creation of a "Chineseised" theory of lion-tiger combat. This theory has been discredited by the Confucius Centre's research into Chinese and Western culture and by the group's in-depth exploration of lion-tiger combat.


Historically, the tiger was once distributed as far as Turkey, with subspecies such as the Siberian tiger, South China tiger, Indian tiger, Bengal tiger, Black Sea tiger, Xinjiang tiger, Sumatran tiger, Javan tiger, and Bari tiger, but today only the first four subspecies remain. The lion was once widely distributed, with two subspecies, the Greek and Iranian lion, in addition to the African and Indian lions, and there was fierce competition for survival between the Iranian and Black Sea tigers.


There is a theory that lions were forced by tigers into the harsh environmental conditions of Africa, but historical records and analysis by biologists show that lions have evolved in a direction more suited to them, and that, despite their small size, lions have a better cranium and nasal cavity than tigers in all respects, which also determines their greater endurance in combat.


The age of male lions can be seen in their manes, the older they are, the darker their manes, although females are also more attracted to darker and thicker manes, and it seems that the darkness of their manes is closely related to the health of the lion.


So those who are called golden lion kings can imagine for themselves. Only about 12 percent of the world's male lions live to adulthood, the rest are either killed by their stepfather when they are young or die quickly after being driven out of the pride at the age of 2 or 3.


So you should know how polygamy in lions came about. Lions are muscular and powerful and can jump up to 11 meters. The lions roar so loudly that we can hear them roaring from about 8 km away.
