837 Tiger vs Lion (Part II)

Liu Wei: "The load on the heart volume determines the explosiveness, endurance and physical recovery ability of the beast, and we mentioned several times that the lion has poor endurance performance because its heart is too small.

The load of the tiger's heart capacity is stronger than that of the African lion, and it can be considered that the tiger's instantaneous explosiveness and ability to continue fighting are stronger than the lion!"

"After chatting about the software, let's take a look at the hardware facilities, first of all, one of the biggest killers of felines, mouth!

It is an indisputable fact that the mouth of the rest of the big cats is not much different, except for the saber-toothed tiger, and the mouth of the lion is larger than that of the tiger, which is an indisputable fact, but the bulbous muscle of the tiger's jaw is the most developed in the feline family. Its bite force is slightly higher than that of a lion.

However, the difference is not big, and in actual combat, the difference in lethality shown is not large, and it is enough to easily make the opponent fatal.

The degree of bite of the beast is affected by the teeth in addition to the bite force.

Among the felines, the most significant weapon of destruction is their canine teeth, and the difference between lions and tigers is somewhat more obvious than canine teeth.

The canines of adult Siberian tigers are longer than those of adult African lions, and in actual combat, tigers have more bite area and bite depth than lions, which is why tigers are more efficient at killing prey when hunting.

This shouldn't make sense to everyone!"

"No!

"The roots of the lion's teeth are thicker!"

"Come on, it's because you can't suffocate your prey as quickly as a tiger, and in order to prevent the canine teeth from being broken when the prey struggles, the lion's canine tooth roots will evolve so thick!"

"You're a lot of words!

Liu Wei continued: "Let's take a look at the strength of the limbs, the actual calculation proves that the strength of the tiger's limbs is stronger, about 15% to 20% stronger than the lion!"

The width of the forepaw of an adult Siberian tiger can reach more than 10 cm, while that of an adult African male lion is only about 8 cm, and the forepaw of the tiger has a larger attack area.

The common combat method of tigers is palm strikes, and I believe you have seen countless times in the zoo or in videos on the Internet, and the palm power of tigers is the strongest among felines.

In addition to forefoot strength, tigers also have stronger hind limb strength than lions, which can almost support their massive bodies to stand upright, and then swing their forepaws to slap their opponents.

In many cases, the lion can only look up at the tiger's attack, which is a bit suppressed.

In addition, tigers also have the longest claws among cats, with Siberian tigers having claws of more than 10 centimeters and lions only about 8 centimeters.

It is precisely because of the short claws of lions that we often see that lions are easy to be thrown out when hunting large prey such as buffaloes, because its claws are not deeply inserted, and the strength of its forelimbs is relatively weak.

When the African lion and the Siberian tiger fight each other with only four limbs, the Siberian tiger has a clear advantage!"

"Hahaha!

"Siberian Tiger set of combination punches you scream!, hahaha!"

"Wait, maybe there's a reversal!"

"Reverse the hair! Let the lions come! I admit that the tiger loses!"

"The lion is not good at slapping, it is better at biting!"

"Bite a chicken feather! The bite force is not as strong as that of a tiger, the canine teeth are not as long as a tiger, and the bite cannot win!"

"The lion's mouth is big!"

"Oh, my daughter-in-law still has a big mouth! Why do I call her a tigress instead of a lioness?"

"In a word!"

"Take care, brother!"

Liu Wei looked at the barrage and smiled, and continued: "Compared with muscles, it is undeniable that tigers and lions are both muscular beasts, but their muscle distribution areas are different, especially motor muscles.

The tiger's muscles are evenly distributed throughout the body, and I remember telling you that the fat of the Siberian tiger is attached under the skin, not to the muscles, and its muscles weigh 70% of its body weight.

According to autopsy reports by biologists, Siberian tigers have thick muscle fibers, barely fat, and stronger muscles than the best bodybuilders.

What is the concept of no fat? Take us humans as an example, you can think of Bruce Lee's body, not to mention that he is not fat-free.

So the tiger's whole body strength is very strong.

The lion's motor muscles are mainly concentrated in the shoulders and neck, and its neck strength is very strong, which is why many viewers think that the lion is better than the tiger in terms of biting ability!"

"The muscles wrap the bones, and the density of the tiger's bones is 1.2% higher than that of the lion, which means that the tiger is more resistant to beatings and more resistant to blows.

If the lion and the tiger are in actual combat, and at the same time slap each other's bodies with all their strength, mainly referring to the head, then the lion must be more seriously injured than the tiger, so in the zoo, when you see a lion and tiger fighting, the first thing to escape is often the lion!"

"Good guy, I secretly bought the armor!"

"The tiger comes with its own skin, defense +10!"

"Lion: MMP, this guy has recharged!"

"Tiger: Lao Tzu v8, are you convinced?"

The audience cheered.

Liu Wei: "In terms of attack speed and attack methods, there is not much difference between lions and tigers.

We mainly talk about the flexibility and balance of the body, you have seen many scenes of me fighting with wild beasts, and it should be clear that these two points play a role in actual combat that cannot be ignored, and can even turn the situation around.

Although the African lion is longer and taller than the Siberian tiger, the lion's body is more bloated and stubby, except for the longer tail than the tiger, while the tiger is also slender because of the uniform distribution of muscles.

Its offensive approach will be more flexible, and its balance will be more adjustable.

In terms of balance, lions are completely incomparable to tigers, and as a simple example, why can Cirque du Soleil train tigers to walk on the balance beam instead of choosing lions?

"Defeated, defeated, this lion is completely defeated!"

"The lion blew out and said a few words!"

"Don't insult anyone!

"The male lion lives by fighting, and the desire to fight is stronger!"

"It's going to start again!"

Liu Wei had a little beads of sweat on his forehead, for fear that if he continued to talk, the lion fans would explode, but science was rigorous, and when faced with doubts, he had to speak.

"In the industry, feline researchers agree that tigers are more cunning than lions, and lions are more honest, which has a lot to do with the role it plays in the lion pack, most of the time patrolling the territory and protecting the lion pack.

Someone just mentioned the desire to fight, and last night you witnessed the battle of male lions, and I think you all know that the main reason for this phenomenon is that the two male lions who wander are worried about the female lion in the lion pack, so the battle in Qatar can be understood to a certain extent as a fight for the right to mate and the safety of the lion pack, not an actual territorial battle.

On the other hand, the tiger can be said to be the most territorial beast, no matter who the invader is or how big the size, the tiger will fight with all its might, and tragedies often happen.

Two male lions in the same lion pack duel, shaking their manes and shouting a few times, it is possible to decide the winner and loser, and when driving away the invaders, they only need to gain the upper hand and let the invaders admit their cowardices and end the battle.

But the territorial battle between the tigers is either dead or wounded!"
