Chapter 176: Lion and Tiger, Which Is Strong and Weak?

Soon the staff gathered at the side gate of the zoo, which was also built by the system construction team recently.

Waiting for the arrival of the lion here, the employees naturally couldn't help but discuss the topic related to the lion, which is more fierce lion or tiger?

This is also an enduring debate!

Meng Shi scratched his head and asked, "Principal, who do you think is stronger?" ”

The employees all looked at Fang Ye with burning eyes!

Fang Ye smiled: "There is nothing to fight about this, lions and tigers are the strongest felines, but they have evolved different forms according to different environments. ”

"Cut~" The employees were a little disappointed with this and the muddy answer.

When Fang Ye was on Earth before traveling, in order to build a good zoo, he specially bought some professional books and joined some animal-related discussion groups to learn about animals, but at that time, his understanding of animals was still limited to some popular animals such as lions, tigers, and pandas, and was not as comprehensive as it is now.

There will be discussions in the group, and there are really people in the group who are so angry that they are red-faced and red-eared in order to compete for the lion and the tiger, and even rise to the level of extreme personal attacks, and the group owner is crazy to silence, and finally he is disheartened and the group is disbanded.

At that time, Fang Ye was wondering, is it necessary to distinguish this kind of problem? What's the point of separating the superior from the inferior?

Do they really like lions and tigers, or do they want to satisfy their competitive desires by comparing lions and tigers?

There are also people in the group who mentioned a documentary called "Tiger Roaring Africa", which probably talks about someone taking tigers to Africa to raise them, saying that the tiger killed two lions alone, so as to prove that tigers are fiercer than lions.

No way!

Fang Ye was extremely shocked when he heard this, someone was so mad that he could do such a thing in order to distinguish the tiger and lion from him?

After searching, I also saw that some people said that tigers have been successfully rewilded in Africa, causing a lot of damage to the local ecology and killing many lions?

Fang Ye instinctively felt a moment of wonder and strangeness, how could he feel that the tiger facing the lion was like a tiger entering a flock, was there such a big gap between the combat power of the tiger and the lion? Do local governments in Africa ignore the ecological damage caused by tigers?

Later, he also took a look at this documentary and found that it was all.

The first Roar of Africa is the Tiger Valley Project, which was originally launched in 2000 by Quan Li, the founder of the Save the Chinese Tiger Foundation, to train endangered captive South China tigers and release them into the wild in China.

As for why she went to Africa, because there is no large-scale land in the country that can provide her with a tiger to raise.

Quan Li approached John Watty, a famous wildlife producer in South Africa, to cooperate, but found that Watty had embezzled funds to buy personal production, and the cooperation between the two sides was terminated, and each set up its own Tiger Valley project.

Wati's idea of Tiger Valley was very different from that of Quan Li, and he also knew that the Lion Tiger controversy could bring traffic, and that the establishment of Tiger Valley was primarily a commercial project to promote the creation of a wild tiger population in Africa. In the middle, the process of introducing tigers for training and breeding was filmed into two documentaries "Walking with Tigers" and "The Private Life of Tigers", which is what domestic netizens called "Tiger Roaring Africa".

The tigers here live in a space of 60w square meters, which is 0.6 square kilometers, which is not enough for tigers, and in Russian reserves, the territory of a female wild Siberian tiger is 500 square kilometers, and the territory of male tigers is even larger.

Wild tigers are very xenophobic, because territory represents food, and at its peak, the Tiger Valley in Wati had 26 tigers. Obviously, food is not available in the wild, so the tiger's food source is to buy animals and put them here for the tiger to prey.

Some people saw that tigers preyed on fast-moving springboks and ostriches in the documentary, and even killed seven antelopes a day at the end of the film, worrying about whether the tigers would damage the ecological environment in Africa, if it could destroy the ecological balance, there would be ghosts.

The springbok runs very fast, but is artificially thrown into an unfamiliar valley by a group, which is preyed on by the tiger, can it show that the tiger is very awesome and runs faster than the springbo? I can't explain anything.

The tiger kills seven antelopes a day is a killing behavior, killing means that the carnivore kills far more prey than they eat at a time, and wild tigers generally only hunt enough to eat each time, and killing more shows that the environment is not a natural and healthy ecology.

This situation is like a student who usually studies seriously every day and his parents reward him for playing games for two hours on the weekend, but one day he directly comes into the house with a computer that is loaded with various games of eating chicken and masturbating.

As for the legendary tiger biting the lion, it was a local flood in 2011, the tiger and the lion were crowded together and the scene was chaotic, Wati was ready to separate the big cats from anesthesia, the lion was named Savannah, a 160kg female lioness, who was bitten to death by the male tiger Sitao when she did not recover from anesthesia, it is said that there is no contradiction in ordinary times, it may be that the tiger wants to take the opportunity to bite the competitor.

Can a male tiger bite a female lion who has not recovered from anesthesia as a basis for the tiger to be stronger than the lion?

As for what tiger killed two stray male lions with one enemy and two against two, and the tiger killed the leader of the lion pack by the way, it is even more groundless with false rumors, and it may even be a deliberate spread by extreme tiger fans.

Recently, when the zoo was going to introduce lions, Fang Ye checked it again, and there was no such related documentary on Blue Star, but the quarrels among lion and tiger fans were no less than on Earth.

If you really want to say who is stronger, the tiger or the lion, the main thing is to look at the weight, who is bigger, of course, will be fierce.

The weight of the general adult tiger can fluctuate from 100kg to 300kg, the size gap between the male tiger and the female tiger is still very large, which is also reflected in the aspect of eating meat, the female tiger in the zoo eats about 12 catties of meat a day, and the male tiger can eat 18-20 catties of meat a day.

The same goes for lions, pick a large-tonnage male tiger to fight a small-tonnage female lionesse, or vice versa, does this make any sense in comparison?

On the whole, tigers are a little stronger than lions, and the average weight of wild lions is smaller than that of tigers, after all, one lives in groups and one lives alone, and the evolution direction is different, and tigers are more suitable for fighting alone, but this gap is not much.

However, if you really like lions and tigers, instead of fighting for who is strong and who is weak for this kind of thing, it is better to discuss how to protect their ecological environment and what impact human activities have on them.
