Since ancient times, lions have been given the title of "King of All Beasts" by humans. But have you ever thought about such a question? Why are lions so strong?
As we all know, lions are fierce and majestic, handsome and wise, but they are also misunderstood by many people. Although they are somehow called the "king of all beasts", they do not live in the jungle, but in the grasslands and savannas. Known for its ferocity, roar and roar, lions have long been a symbol of strength and courage. Also known as the "King of the Prairie", lions are the most famous wild animals since ancient times.
With such a strong reputation, it's tempting to know how strong it really is to see if these really live up to their name. An adult male lion is about 1.8 - 2.1 meters long and can reach 1 meter on the tail. They are 1.2 meters high on their shoulders and weigh 170 - 250 kg. So how strong are lions?
Lions are predators at the top of the pyramid, and apex predators are defined as beasts that control the environment and other animals in the environment. Lions are true habitat kings, and because of their courage and strength, they are not afraid of any animal. In the African savannah, the lion's only enemy is hyenas. However, hyenas usually only dare to attack and kill young lions, always avoiding conflict with adult lions. This is not surprising, as one adult lion is equivalent to the combined strength of 20 hyenas.
Every lion is one of the strongest animals, but the real strength of lions lies in the lions. Lions are the only big cats with social attributes, and when they work together, even large animals like crocodiles and giraffes become their prey. Although lions can relax for 18-20 hours a day, their muscles are very strong. This may seem surprising, because if you lie down 75% of the time, humans quickly become weak. The main explanation for this is that lions are born with much stronger muscles than humans, and these muscles are maintained through the parts of their lifestyle that move. Because, lions are very active in a short period of time without sleeping and relaxing.
Male lions regularly patrol 20 kilometers to scare off other animals and mark their territory by roaring. Their strong bodies require a lot of energy, and the most effective way to meet their daily energy needs is to find and eat the biggest prey. Large animals require intense "workouts," from identifying and chasing prey to sprinting, fighting, and killing. Another of the lions' most important task is to fight the other lions and drive them out of their territory. Moreover, brawls also help keep the animals in good shape. In contrast, our human bodies have adapted to a very different way of life than lions, and anyone who craves "lion-like power" may need a lot of non-lifestyle to achieve.
A lion's bite force depends on its age and body size. It is widely believed that a lion can only produce a force of about 650 psi when it takes a bite. When a lion grows up, its bite force is greater. Males are larger than females, but females are the main predators of this species. Males have a stronger bite force and will join the hunting party to take large prey like elephants. However, lions have much weaker bites than bears, gorillas, or crocodiles. Lions need strong jaws to kill and eat the prey they catch. Female lions are responsible for most of the hunting, while male lions hunt only when needed.
Lions feed on a wide variety of animals in Africa and need to be able to tear apart thick skins and hides, while female lions target the throats of prey and other soft parts of their bodies. Not only are the prey they hunt huge, but the skin and fur of these prey are so thick that they are difficult to pierce. Lion teeth are one of the most important features that help them eat, and even with such a powerful bite force, they still need the help of canine teeth and front teeth to tear open the flesh. There are three types of lion teeth: incisors, canine teeth, and meat-eater teeth. As carnivores, their teeth are used to eat and tear flesh.
If you still don't understand how strong lions are, then we can look at what they look like. The stripes of the lion's muscles are clearly visible, enough to kill large animals with ease. The powerful forelimbs are supported by the muscles of the shoulders, which makes their attacks almost as powerful as a hammer. Before the lion slams the animal, it will stretch out its claws and pull off the animal's skin as easily as we peel an orange. The horror is that a lion can generate 180 kilograms of force with a single blow with its claws.
So why are lions so strong? In my opinion, lions have a strong physique, and this big cat is born with strong muscles, making it a top predator. Heredity and a certain amount of physical activity, combined with their carnivorous diet, make lions super strong. Therefore, as long as they have the nutrients to maintain the body, their bodies will remain strong and muscular. Lions are not the strongest animals in the world. If we talk about size, weight and primordial strength, many animals are stronger than lions. Tigers, elephants, rhinos, hippos and bears, for example, are all stronger animals than lions. However, if we count pound by pound, few animals are stronger than lions.
Lions are as strong and tough as they were when they were created by the Creator, they are natural apex predators, and they rule the habitats in which they live. Lions are born with strong genes and are prone to differences in strengths. They live among lions, and in addition to the invincibility of the male lions, their cooperative strength makes it impossible for them to be defeated.
I know that when it comes to this, there must be a lot of tiger blowing that is starting to be unhappy again. I didn't say that tigers are obscene and ineffective, and it doesn't mean that you have to recognize the wisdom, courage and majesty of lions, but in the wild, tigers are solitary animals, and lions are social animals, which is a fact that no one can change. The scene where the two meet in the wild is that a tiger will most likely meet a group of lions, and then you think the lion will say", "You are less, let's go it alone"? Please tiger blowers mature a little, a male lion can be hard tiger, not to mention a group of lions!
Therefore, in the end, the master can easily conclude that a group of lions can easily crush a tiger. It can also be said more bluntly, that is, in the comparison of species, species such as lions are more powerful than species such as tigers!
