Ur article is misleading! It is laughable to say lions are lazy. The lion does not usually go to hunt in order to avoid injuries as its prime duty is to protect the pride and secure their kills from other intruders. In cases where larger preys are on the menu, it is d lion that takes charge of the hunt and their brut force gives the pride success. Everything in the lions pride is wisdom thats why they earned the name king of the jungle. Laying all day for a lion is to conserve energy to hunt at coolers hours especially night where preys are more vulnerable, but in cases of scarcity they trail preys at any given time. You just hàve to give the lions full credit "they know what they want and they get it" The lions are lazy predators yet they takes down big games including elephants, cape buffalo, giraffes, rhinos and makes snacks from wildebeest. I am so angry at the op right nw! 34 Likes 2 Shares |

[quote author=Elijahrona post=75434155]Owls represent wisdom This has been known for ages. Even since the time of the Greeks, Athena the goddess of wisdom was commonly associated with Owls. Well, owls are nice birds and have cool features like their neck's ability to rotate up to 270°. Owls have large eyes which make them look as if they're very cautious. Well, i can't argue that Owls can represent wisdom but i can argue that they are not the best animal to represent wisdom. For instance, can an owl match the Octopus? Here are a few octopus' facts: *They're invertebrates, in the same phylum with snails, slugs, clams, etc. *Octopuses have neurons in all their eight arms. This makes them great at multitasking because all eight arms can function differently at the same time. More like a creature with nine brains (one central). *Although related to slow and immobile organisms, octopuses (as well as squids) can be very fast in water. *Octopus; Octo -eight, pus/podus -foot literally means eight foot while its class Cephalopods literally means head foot. *Looking at the octopus its head is just that small part where the eyes can be found just above the arms. The mantle cavity (which houses its stomach, anus and other vital organs) makes a cephalopod look like an organism with a very large brain. For my village, na witch e dey rep o 1 Like |

All things consider, lions are king of the jungle. No king rule a kingdom by itself. It's usally a group thing. Lions seem to posses that. Even though they are the strongest of the big cats. They still rely on group strength to ensure greater success. Which is what kings do. The greater there stretch of kingdom the greater their dominance and chances of increase conquest. 5 Likes |

Elijahrona:The lion is a formidable cat, the aggression of a full grown male is so much that no animal is a match. Even a full grown white polar bear is a no match for the lion. You also mentioned the tiger, well those that called the Lion "king of the jungle" made their own research before saying that. 7 Likes |

stanley000: Lol... But on a more serious note, the lion doesn't really do much to be given that title. Thier strength lies in the pride which consists of mostly lionesses. Unlike other cats that are solitary. A full grown tiger will kill a full grown lion in single combat. 4 Likes |

Lion is exactly like the human kings and queens. He don't fight unless situation calls for it as the last option and he is fearless. Als cos he lead a pack in the pride. what other big cats can't do as they live solitary lives. What makes one a king? Cos you have people u lead. He leads the rest. 9 Likes |

The lion fights and protect the pride from intruders and would be usurpers. I've seen lionesses struggle with a prey and suddenly the lion comes and bring the prey down within seconds. Lions are not lazy please. It's division of labor and they know their part. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Elijahrona:Totally disagree with you on Lion . Lion is always a king of jungle, it can hunt only when the prey is too powerful for lioness that is where the king would come in. About fast, speed, etc you mentioned,these are not a quality of a king. If you know about lion very well every great lion has a territory under it control. Mere looking you know that lion has a good quality of being a king. Lion is a king of jungle. 3 Likes |

Adakintroy: U are wrong. TIGERS ARE THE STRONGEST AND HEAVIEST CAT. Do ur research properly. Tigers gat stronger claws, has biting force than the Lion. Lion advantage in a fight is just that it's mane protects his neck from been biten. TIGERS ARE STRONGEST CAT 6 Likes |
