As a small man in the feline family, the combat effectiveness of domestic cats is actually not bad. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info However, individual differences are indeed very large, and body shape, combat experience, and the amount of exercise in ordinary times all greatly affect the combat effectiveness of domestic cats. I'll talk about my cat, when it was small, I wanted to train it to be a very strong cat, I don't like that kind of lazy cat, as a feline, I love the elegance of their movements, as well as wildness~. To get back to the point, it is a long-haired pure white tomcat, when I first bought it when I was a child, my body was very weak, since I was a child, I took a paper ball, tied a rope on it, pulled it up and down all over the house, the amount of exercise is very large, every time it runs it is about to collapse. There is also a way to gnaw bones, of course, very large pork bones can't be gnawed, but smaller pig bones and chicken bones are no problem, and they are generally gnawed clean (I also find it strange, but it likes to gnaw bones). And sometimes deliberately provoke it, train it to fight, that is mainly with a plush toy, with a line control, like a puppet, hit it, he is frightened many times, if he can't hide, he will be provoked, and there are a lot of toys that are torn and broken by it. All that's left is for me to play wrestling with it with my hands. At the age of 2, he is basically mature, his weight is 8-9kg, his body is very stout, his strength is obviously much greater than that of ordinary cats, and he can feel a large muscle mass on his legs, shoulders and neck (the disadvantage is that it is too tiring to take a bath), and his canine teeth are relatively long. Practical case 1, one summer vacation to take it to my grandmother's house, he came to a big rooster interest, it has never seen a chicken, very curious, very cautious, the chicken does not seem to be very afraid of it, at least the body of the chicken is not small, but after careful observation and testing for a long time, it was a blow, the chicken was locked throat, and then I rescued it, not dead. 2, I fought with a wild cat, I fought for half a minute, the frequency was too fast, I couldn't see it clearly, anyway, the wild cat admitted defeat, it was not injured, and the long hair did have a protective effect when scratching. 3, the last time was a fight with a dog, it went to the wrong door, went to someone's house, and a dog of about 15kg, the result is needless to say, it was not injured at all, the dog's face scratch was very serious, there were some bites on the body, escaped. 4, there are some small things, let me feel that it is really quite strong, at that time lived in my grandmother's house, originally at night to lock it in the house, afraid that it would run around outside, make it very dirty, it turned out that every morning although it is still in the house, but it is still very dirty, one night specially observed. nnd, at one o'clock in the middle of the night, jumped out to play through the air window that was nearly 2 meters high, and came back when it was almost dawn, which means that it jumped close to 2 meters. There were also 2 times when I accidentally fell from the balcony on the 5th floor of my house, and then there was basically no injury, but it can be seen that it is also afraid of falling from this height. There are also a few times to catch bats in the air, and the posture is quite handsome. Lion and tiger comparison 1, size comparison tiger is the largest feline, there is no objection at present. But in the ancient Western world, they had access to the largest African male lion and the smallest Central and South Asian tiger, which caused a visual misunderstanding that the lion was the largest cat family and became the symbol of many Western countries. It wasn't until they came into contact with the bigger and more ferocious Meng Hu and the West Tiger more than 100 years ago that they finally changed this concept and formed a shift from the lion-centered theory to the tiger-centered theory. Fights between beasts of prey tend to have a considerable advantage over the larger ones, and the victory of the larger tiger over the lion does not seem convincing, and the following cases are all cases where the lion and tiger are equal. 2. Physiological data (1) The head is quite large because of the mane of the lion, but in fact, after removing the mane, it is almost the same as the tiger, and the tiger after peeling the skin is also difficult to distinguish, so the difference between the skull is not big. The mane is so symbolic of the lion that it is often exaggerated and even used as a decisive weapon. Biologically, the role of the male lion's mane is defined as: the display of strength between male lions, the criteria for the selection of female lions, and the mane has a certain defensive effect on the male lion but at the same time weakens its offensive ability. (2) Heart capacityIn anatomy, the heart capacity of tigers is greater than that of African lions, which is quite important. Among opponents of the same physiological qualities, it reflects a species with greater explosiveness, endurance, and physical recovery. (3) The opening and closing degree of the mouth of the mouth of the feline family is about 60 degrees (the saber-toothed tiger can reach 100 degrees), the ball muscle of the tiger jaw is the most developed in the feline family, the bite force of the lion tiger is not much different, the tiger is slightly stronger, the tiger is about 450kg, the male lion is 400kg (attached: the rear end of the crocodile is about 1000kg (2200 pounds), the front end is 770kg, the great white shark is about 770kg, and the human is about 80kg). The tiger canine teeth are about 6 cm long, the male lion is about 5 cm, the tiger has a bite depth of about 11 cm, and the male lion is about 9 cm. A depth of 1 cm in the bite can often determine whether the opponent is alive or dead, which also makes the lion make the prey much less lethal than the tiger. But the roots of the lion's teeth are slightly thicker than those of the tiger. Biologists explain that the reason why the lion's teeth are thick is that the lion cannot quickly kill the prey in his hand, which causes the prey to resist, and in order to prevent the canine teeth from breaking in the prey resistance, the canine teeth have evolved to be thicker. (4) The forelimb tiger forefoot is the largest in the cat family, the palm width of the male tiger is about 10., the female tiger is about 8.5-9.5cm, and the male lion is about 7.5cm. Palm strike is a common technique of tigers, its palm power is the highest in the cat family, up to 1 ton, the strength is 10% greater than that of male lions, and whether the lion is killing or preying, palm striking is not its characteristic. Cats have the habit of grinding their claws, but the frequency of claws sharpened by adult lions has decreased, which is related to the living environment, so the claws are not as sharp as tigers. The claws of the tiger are the longest in the cat family, about 10 cm for the western tiger, 9.2 cm for the mengo tiger, and 8 cm for the lion. Lions are often thrown off their bodies by large prey, which shows that their forelimbs are not strong enough and their claws are not deeply embedded, while tigers are extremely difficult to be thrown off by bison. (5) The hind limb lion lacks the strength of the hind limbs and can only stand semi-upright, so the lion is not good at palm strikes, while the hind limbs of the tiger are strong and can be completely erect, and can be one and a half heads taller than the lion after standing upright. Hind limb strength directly affects jumping ability. Tigers can jump up to a height of 2.2-2.4m, females about 1.8m, tigers can reach a height of 6.5m, females are 4.5m, and males hardly jump. Tigers with combined limbs are more stout, while lions have much thinner limbs. (6) Muscles Menghu and lions are both tropical and tropical, and their muscles are almost the same. The strength of the tiger is strong in the shoulders, and the strength of the male lion is concentrated in the neck. The fat of the Siberian tiger is mainly under the skin, rather than attached to the muscles, and its muscle weight can account for about 70% of the total body weight. According to Chinese biologists on the anatomy of the Siberian tiger, the muscle fibers of the Siberian tiger are extremely thick, and there is almost no fat to be found, and the muscles are stronger than the muscles of the best bodybuilders. (7) Skeleton tigers have more perfect bones, and their average bone density is about 1.2 higher than that of lions, which means that tigers are stronger and more resistant to blows. (8) The speed of the Siberian tiger is about 56 km/h, the Meng tiger is much faster about 68 km/h, the female lion is 64 km/h in between, and the male lion is 56 m/h. (9) The flexible tiger has a slender body, while the male lion has a stubby and short body, which means that the tiger can make a larger range and more dexterous turns. (10) In terms of other balances, tigers can walk on the balance beam in gymnastics, while lions cannot. Although the tiger's tail is not as powerful as the legend, it is still its attacking weapon, and the lion's tail has no offensive effect. Feline observers believe that tigers are cunning and lions are relatively straightforward. The above is a physiological hardware comparison, and the following is a comparison of Liger's life practice, which is actually a technical software comparison. Skill is very important to beasts, there have been simulations of beast duels, but it was immediately cited as a joke, because they only entered hardware data, but forgot to enter skill data, because according to this simulation, then the cheetah will not be able to catch the impala, and the leopard will not be able to catch the zebra, because these prey are stronger than the predator, the zebra can kick the leopard over, and the data shows that the leopard will not dodge, 100% will be kicked to death, so the simulation believes that there is no possibility of a beast on the earth that can hunt prey larger than itself, And actually... In fact, the above physiological data has already illustrated which is better and which is inferior. Technique is more of a subjective concept of human observation, but practice is often the application of physiology in life, and we will take it as a reference. 3. Life habits (1) Some people say that their group combat effectiveness is strong because lions live in groups, that is, the lions are stronger than the tigers. In fact, this kind of person is based on the actual life of the lion, that is, the lion has a strong overall consciousness, but they ignore the fact that only the strongest male lion can decide the victory or defeat in the lion pack in the same kind of fight. So will the lion pack see the tiger as the same kind, the answer is possible, because the natural ** situation will happen between the tiger and the lion, which will only happen in wild animals if they see each other as the same kind. (2) Some people also say that male lions live by fighting, so they think that male lions have a stronger desire to fight, but they don't know that tigers are extremely territorial, and small tigers will also fight against big tigers that intrude into their territory, and tigers with the advantage of home are more effective (because this is a job problem). On the contrary, in most cases, the male lion simply swings his mane to determine the outcome of the battle. In zoos, tigers bite and kill lions mostly because tigers think the lion has invaded their territory, and territorial disputes in the wild are common, especially when tigers were once in abundance. In other words, male lions fight more for their mates, while tigers fight more for their territory, and they fight just as often. (3) Female tigers not only have to fight for the territory but also for the cubs, male cats have the habit of killing non-parent cubs, a single female tiger in order to protect the cubs and large male tigers often fight, and a group of female lions encounter this situation directly disarmed and surrendered. The tiger lives alone, and the female tiger raises her cubs independently, indicating that the tiger's ability to survive is quite strong, while the female lioness cannot raise their cubs independently at all. (4) Some people say that the lion will not measure the strength of the opponent and move forward, in fact, this is a serious misunderstanding, the standard for the male lion to measure the opponent is the mane, the male lion with a poor mane will choose to retreat automatically, and the tiger is a lion with a poor mane in the eyes of the male lion, because the male tiger does not have a long mane, so the male lion often thinks that the tiger is not as good as himself can fight. Tigers, like other felines, are cautious because they live alone, and they will also carefully evaluate the strength of their opponents, because a wrong assessment can cause serious injuries and cannot be preyed, which means that tigers will not fight uncertain battles, which raises the question that the lion that fights with the tiger is a fierce beast that can be defeated in the eyes of the tiger, and this assessment is certainly more accurate than the human assessment. 4. Fighting skillsThe bite force of the feline family is not the largest among the beasts, but the claws are the strongest, and the agility is also the highest, so the claws are the winning weapon, and the teeth are only the weapons to death. The combination of claws and skill makes the feline the only mammal that can defeat more powerful beasts on its own (the others rely on the strength of the group). (1) The tiger fights with palm strikes, which is actually a set of combination punches, more by virtue of its skills, and rarely puts the head up early. (2) The male lion is the exception of the feline family, and the fight between them is actually to compete with whose mouth is bigger, and due to the lack of strength and skill in the limbs, the advantage of the feline paw plus skill is almost abandoned. Male lions rely more on their body and strength, and are a method of pushing and shoving, but we know that lions do not have an advantage over tigers in terms of size or strength. Tigers can use both palms, while male lions cannot fully support their full body weight due to the strength of their hind legs, and in order to fully exert their palm power, one forefoot must be supported on the ground. (3) The mane has a certain protective effect on the throat of the male lion, but the tiger often locks the throat after gaining a considerable advantage through the fight of the forelimbs, because it is not responsible for its own throat to lock the throat before it has achieved an advantage. 5. Hunting skillsHunting skills can reflect the skills of fierce beasts from the side. (1) Tiger predation is usually a sneak attack, and then a short-distance sprint, it requires a stronger explosive power, because if the response is slow, it is easy to make the prey escape, and long-distance pursuit is not the tiger's strength, the tiger to deal with the bison is to jump on the back of the cow and hold tightly, and even the larger adult Asian female elephant is the same, and the lion can only pounce on the bison's hind hip and is easy to be thrown off, while the Asian wild African bison is not small. Lions usually hunt in groups, and they are mainly pounced on by the support of the group's strength. (2) The lion bites the neck of the smaller prey, and bites the nose of the larger such as the bison, and the way of biting the nose and suffocating often seems to drag the mud and water, and the lion group often has the possibility of escaping the prey in hand, and there are 5 lions (including the male lion) on TV who hunt a bison and are finally escaped, in fact, this reflects that the lion can not effectively kill the prey quickly, and there will actually be a cheetah that has almost no killing power to escape after being seriously injured, which reflects the killing rate of the lion. The success rate of the tiger is quite high, and the killing techniques are also more abundant, there are broken cervical vertebrae, throat biting, neck biting, etc., for the smaller almost directly is to break the cervical vertebrae, for more than 200kg such as bison is to bite the neck, which is completely different from the lion to deal with bison, but the lethal efficiency is higher, often a blow is fatal, and the prey in hand rarely has the possibility of escaping, because the tiger can not afford such a mistake, especially the Siberian tiger. (3) The success rate of predation of lions is between 10-20% according to different prey, and the success rate of tigers is about 5%. The utilization rate of food is not as good as that of tigers, and they can only manage one meal, and tigers often take care of a long time to hunt once. The lion is the only cat that eats carrion, which is a manifestation of the success rate of a single lion's predation. (4) Lions and tigers have the ability to hunt super-large prey under extraordinary circumstances, such as lions for female elephants, giraffes, etc., tigers for female elephants, bison, etc., but a single lion is unable to hunt prey larger than itself, which is actually rare in felines, it is estimated that only servals are like this, but after all, servals can be regarded as the crown of the feline family, like cheetahs in order to be agile to bear the price of a small mouth. 6. Survival CompetitionThe main competitors in the survival environment of the lion group are the hyena group and the leopard, while the Meng Tiger is the jackal group and the leopard, and the western tiger is the brown bear and the Far Eastern leopard. (1) The life of a lone lion is extremely difficult, and the lone male lion expelled by the lion pack generally has only three endings, namely, starvation, being chased and killed by the hyena herd, and being murdered by the tricolor jackals. (2) The strength of a single jackal is not as good as that of a hyena, but the size and resilience of the jackal group is much greater than that of the hyena group, and different groups of jackals can even unite together to deal with Meng Hu, and the famous battle of nearly 60 jackals to get a female Meng Hu at a heavy cost is composed of different groups of jackals. (3) The brown bear is a much larger beast than the western tiger, and the Far Eastern leopard survives extremely hard under the suppression of the western tiger, but the leopard of the same species as the Far Eastern leopard lives quite nourished under the pressure of the lion group, which shows that the ability of the lion group to stifle the development of the leopard is far inferior to that of the tiger, and the leopard is therefore known as the most successful big cat. Therefore, the competitive environment of tigers and lions can be said to be equally dangerous, but even so, excluding the human factor, tigers are still very successful in living alone, and the lions living alone means death. 7. The lion and tiger fights that we see now are all in captivity, and it is not possible to draw conclusions from this, but we can draw reference conclusions. (1) Captive beasts are degraded in terms of ability compared with wild ones, but there is an important fact, that is, the stronger the skill of captive beasts, the greater the loss. If the bears, which tend to strength, and the felines, which tend to skill, are kept in captivity from a young age, it is obvious that the loss of the feline family is greater. The same is true for humans, who have the greatest loss of human-specific skills from a young age who are biologically human, but in fact are no different from idiots. The lion is in strength, while the tiger is in skill, and its losses are undoubtedly greater than those of the lions. But even so, the winning rate of captive tigers is much higher than that of lions, let alone wild lion tigers. (2) There is also the fact that in all the records or videos of lion and tiger fights nowadays, it is not surprising that a small tiger defeated a big lion, and there has never been an example of a small lion defeating a big tiger. (3) In the case of choosing the tiger and lion fight, the male lion is generally more chosen, and for the tiger, almost all of them are selected together regardless of the male and female, and in fact, there is still a big gap in the physique of the female tiger than the male tiger, but there is no big difference between the lion. But if you do choose this way, you might as well take a female lion and a male jaguar to fight. But even so, the female tiger also has a case of defeating the male lion, and the male tiger is slaughtering the female lion, and the female lion can also be said to have no chance of winning against the female tiger. 8. The Evolutionary Lion Tiger comes from the same ancestor. At present, it is impossible for the lion and tiger to meet in the wild, but in the past, the lion and tiger have overlapped in the field, and finally retreated to the northwest corner of India (called the Asiatic lion), and the Meng tiger is the end result of the spread of the tiger in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Before the absence of human interference, tigers used to have tracks throughout Eurasia, showing their tenacious adaptability from extreme cold to extreme heat, while lions were confined to the tropics and tropicals. Biologically and geographically, tropical rainforests are the richest land on earth, and this is the habitat of Meng Hu. In fact, it can also be contrasted by the competition between the jaguar and the cougar, the jaguar is stronger than the cougar, the jaguar occupies the center of the South American rainforest, and the cougar can only be on the side. After listing all the data, it was found that the lion lions lagged behind the tigers in almost all aspects, and the wild lions that did not have any physiological advantage could be said to be almost a complete defeat for the wild tigers!
