What are the differentces between lions and tigers?

Answer 1

Are Tigers friendly? Their beauty is undeniable, with large dark stripes along there fur and they're deceiving cuddly appearance. Tigers are by far one of the most beautiful animals ever created. But tigers are also known for their ferocious look. With 30 teeth created primarily for slicing through flesh, females weighing anywhere from 100 to 200 pounds, and males weighing up to 300 pounds, anyone would be scared of a tiger and across its path. And in some places tigers do eat humans. And unfortunately, once a tiger has a taste for human flesh, they love it.

The lion is a magnificent animal that appears as a symbol of power, courage and nobility on family crests, coats of arms and national flags in many civilizations. Lions at one time were found from Greece through the Middle East to northern India, but today only a very small population remains in India. In the past lions lived in most parts of Africa, but are now confined to the sub-Saharan region.

Mature male lions are unique among the cat species for the thick mane of brown or black hair encircling the head and neck. Both male and female lions roar, a sound which can be heard as far as 8 kilometers away.

INFORMATION

A Bengal tiger is orange with a white underside and lots of black stripes. It is five to six ft. long from its head to tail. They have long tails with black stripes. Their coats give them camouflage when hunting. When on all four legs they are about half the size of a man.

A Bengal tiger is a predator. It eats buffalo, deer, wild pigs, and other large mammals. Bengal tigers hunt in the night which means that they are nocturnal. A hungry Bengal tiger can eat up to 60 pounds of food a day. Nothing eats a Bengal tiger. Although Bengal tigers can eat people.

Bengal tigers walk to get around. Bengal tigers communicate by roaring or moaning. They court their mates by their roars and scent marks. They defend their territory by roaring. To mark their territory they leave droppings, scent markings, or scratch markings onto trees or boulders.

Bengal tigers court their mates by either roaring or moaning. The female tiger has up to six cubs. She nurses them until they are six months old. Her cubs will stay with her until they are two or three years old. The female raises her cubs by herself.

Bengal tigers live alone except when they are mating. The advantages are they can't be seen easily by predators. They don't catch diseases as easily as animals that live in groups.
