5 wrong animal stereotypes

Lions are the king of the jungle
Lions to many people, represent pride. Pride literally a group of lions. Here are some facts about lions:
*Male lions, when in a pride, mostly relies on the females for food. The females mostly do the hunting
*When male lions become the alpha male of a pride, they kill and (sometimes) eat the cubs of the females impregnated by other males
*Lions don't come first in anything; not in size, strength, speed, niche, etc.
*Most lions aren't found in the jungle or forest. They can be found in grasslands, wildernesses, savannas, etc.
*Other animals fear lions because lions are social animals (strength in numbers), predators and scary

How can lions be the kings of the king of the jungle if they mostly aren't found in the jungle? How can lions represent pride when all they do is sleep, hunt for food and eat? Why don't lions come first in anything? Such kings they are.

Let's talk a little about tigers:
*Tigers are mostly solitary. They only meet each other accidentally or when it's mating time. Although they're solitary, they still hunt successfully and dominate
*They're mostly found in the jungle/forest. In other words, they dominate the forest
*Tigers are the biggest cats
*Their limbs are so strong that if they die standing, they still won't fall

Now, who should be the king of the jungle?



https://www.allbioconcerns.com/2019/02/5-wrong-animal-stereotypes.html

Human Kings depend on others for food just like the lion. Just saying.

No human king lived a solitary life. Just saying.

The idea of kingship if having people/subject to Lord over. Just saying.

Zoharariel:


Then the Bear should be the king of the jungle - especially the Russian Bear.

Watch some Tiger vs Lion fights here, but it's like the video was made by a lion fan

True, but there is one bad thing about male lion, thy kill all the lioness cub before he take over the pride, but one funny thing is that the lioness don't even resist the alpha males wen they are killing it's cubs... Strange abi?

Very strange! I always try to emagine this scenario. The mother Lion put no resistance to the king Lion when killing the cubs.
This lioness even show reception quickly for mating with the brutal Lion.

MalcolmOE:
Very informative article, Especially about the pigs(didn't really know that).

It's true. Pigs are not the way people think. There is this kind of propaganda against pigs

Op you didn't add humans to the list

I don't ague, just go and do your research.


Also, You started your mentions by asking me what I smoked.


It really shows you ain't mature, so i would like to draw the curtain now, and don't quote me again.

Alphaman007:
In my own view... Lions are the kings of beasts while a tigers are the kings of the jungle... Tigers are the biggest of all big cats and have been recorded to win more in duels with lions... They are more aggressive and can use their two front paws to battle unlike lions... Jaguars are formidable too and can hold their own against lions and tigers but they're still no match

Seriously, i wonder why people argue this. If SIZE or STRENGTH mattered, the Elephant or Tiger should receive the award. Social structure and Dominance are the only plausible reasons to term the Lion " king". Period.

Agugbadin:
Nice one guys, these are the topics I like to read and not about Linda Ikeji and the likes

Topics like '' Linda Ikeji's brother buys Mercedes Benz''

Lions are not worthy to be called "the King of their jungle " becoz they can't stand a fierce hungry tiger in a fight, not to talk an elephant

Like nigeria guys always saying they are lions. Lion of mogun,
lazy species.
lazy beings.
thats why they prey on people's panties to strive.

Yambee:
The bears.

They are found in the Jungle and pound for pound can kill any other animal easily, which can include the lion and tiger. The tiger avoids them in the jungle.

And lest i for forget, the lions are very lazy and depends on the lioness for food and everything. They sleep half of day. I liken them to Gigolo's.

Jeju:
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!

Just like the Lion you definitely know what you are writing that tiger and other animal hunt alone doesn't make them superior the fear of Dog like hyena is what makes tiger drags their kill to the top of the tree they even run away site of a lion. None of those cat can hunt big prey like bufallo, giraffe, zebra wild beast e.t.c. the hyena always threaten the lioness and engage them at any given opportunity but will take to their heels at the sight of a lion. The op is definitely not an animal enthusiasts and may have read those things from a book because if he sees animal documentary very often he won't arrive at that conclusion about King Lion

Elijahrona:


Birds are much more developed than octopuses. An octopus is an invertebrate. Can you compare the brain of the snail to the brain of the bird? Octopus and snail are in the same phylum mullosca

That's why I said compare, like for like.. same for same, don't compare terrestrial with aquatic. do bird for bird and octopus with other invertebrate.

you get my point.

The lion is king because like human kings they do nothing and have others do all the work for them. Theirs is to eat and enjoy the hard work and sweat of others. No other animal enjoys such service. okay except the queen bee!!

dhebo:
....it might look as if they are lazy but they are not, just like the way the lion depends on the lioness for food, the lioness depends on the lion for protection against lions from other pride that might want to kill the lioness and it's cub and moreover before a lion is accepted to a pride you must show you capable of protecting the pride so it is all just division of labour .The lion in a pride work is even riskier to me because attack from another pride might kill him

You can't see the usefulness of a Male Lion until the females are attackee by Hyenas.. One Male Lion is enough to fight them off, but Hyenas beat female lions everytime.

Tylerbreeze:

Most human kings cannot stand up to others in physical combat. Yet they are still kings. They have ministers and servants and wives and concubines. They sit and do nothing while others cater to all their needs. That is what the lion does.

but when the two meets on a single combat either in the jungle or anywhere else..... the tiger either runs for her life or ends up dead....op how do you react to that

Spot on

Nicklaus619:
Oop you are right, lion hardly hunt alone suucessfuly without the help of the entire pride especially the alpha male, they are so lazy in hunting to the extent that most of them die Becuase of hunger, especially where little prays are scarce... All they do is lazy around and wait for the females to provide for him, lion is definatly not the king of the jungle.. Btw mode move this to fp.. This is a frontpage material

wrong. Lions are not lazy. They sleep most of the time during the day because it is very hot in the savannah to even play with other lions muchless hunt during the day so they spend most of the day cooling off in the shades. Lions are most active at night because nights are cooler and they see better than most animals in the dark so hunting is easier for them at night.
About male lions depending on the lioness for food, that is totally wrong. The lionesses hunt more because they weigh less than the males and they're faster. The males also hunt or sometimes join in the hunt, especially when it's a big animal like the buffalo or giraffe. Primarily males lion are the security of every pride.

https://www.allbioconcerns.com/2019/02/5-wrong-animal-stereotypes.html

The Lion!


*It have subjects just like a king
*After a kill it eats first b4 others join.
*When it is on d throne, he is d only one to access to the queens.
*He protects all those under his care.
* it has d charisma of a true king

In human kingdom its not always the biggest or strongest man that is made king.

Tapout:


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.

Omo that one na very big lie, a lion is so brave and fearless and no other animal comes close in term of bravery. The lion is a bad opponent that the tiger will always try to avoid. The lion never retreats from a fight especially with a tiger. Tiger dey always and I says most of the time back down. Lions is king o

Amakavula:

....all the lion is doing is conserve energy for greater purpose

True, reason why they have a short lifespan on the average.

Alphaman007:
hyenas aren't doga.

Just like we have the cat family(Felidae)

Elijahrona:


"Lion is the king of the jungle" is what they tell children... As children, we all grew to with that belief till now that we're older...

Well, the article was a product of my research and opinion so am ok if you've got a different opinion... Thanks

Your thread is interesting but its funny how you said you made your research.

Have you been to the savannah and watch real life Lion? Or is your research based on Nat Geo wild?

freshngwaboy:
first, Lions don't stay in the Jungle and they aren't the strongest big cats.
there are factors to consider when laying such claims.
Tigers are the strongest big cats

So where does it stay o? It doesn't stay in the jungle yet it kills giraffe, kills Buffalo, kills elephants, kills hyenas and even lesser cats for fun. So it comes from the city to do those killings abi? People will just type sha

What people don't understand about a tiger and a lion is that, yes the tiger is a little bigger and might be a little stronger than the lion but the lion has that mane. In combat, the lion mane is big shield against attacks. I have seen many lion vs tiger fights and have seen how great the tiger is at fighting. It can hit the lion several times but that lion mane minimises the damage that the lion may have suffered. So usually, whenever the lion lands a well aimed paw with sharp nails on the tiger's neck, the tiger usually backs down.

Another animal is Buhari
He can sleep for a whole 4 years , and still be re-contesting to get another 4 years to sleep.
He depends on Osibanjo for the right words. He easily falls sick, and travels a lot. But he hardly travel when it is time to get another 4 years to sleep. He has friends that support him blindly just to achieve their selfish interest like Tinubu, Oshiomole, El, Rufai,

The good part of him is that when he's asleep , he normally have good dreams for his environment called Nigerial but forgets the dreams when he wakes.

His greatest fear is ATIKU
Atiku preys on his weakness

Alphaman007:
wetin you smoke?

I wonder too,he didn't consider pound for pound that is the determining factor.

[quote author=Akuruoulo post=75461501]

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[/quote

Tigers are the largest but never the strongest, a male lion can never be defeated by a male tiger of the same age range. Don't tell me it is the mane that protects it, is the mane made of leather or lead. The male lion fore hand is so strong and it's strike is deadlier than any other cat also is it bite force. People forget that a male lion has probably fought all his life, it fights to get the dominance and respect it gets so don't compare it to a tiger that stalks it prey like a thief and always avoids combat as much as possible.

Brilliant
