There were once 50 tigers killed by lions, and there was a male lion who singled out three tigers and killed them all 20 minutes later, can you believe it?
I know that many people must have a hard time accepting the complex, but it is true, and it is all recorded and can be found in archived newspapers and books. Clyde Betty was the greatest wildlife trainer of all time, losing 50 tigers in his 40-year career, all of which were killed by his lions. First of all, Betty doesn't like losing a tiger, and who wants to lose their property for no reason? Secondly, a century ago, tigers were much more expensive than lions, because wild tigers were less abundant and tigers were more precious, so they were much more expensive than lions, and losing a tiger was losing a very expensive investment.
On February 20, 1951, in an interview with the Petowski Evening News, Clyde Betty said: "My quote is that my biggest expense is a tiger killed by a lion. In the same interview, he said: "In the years I've worked with big cats, lions have killed about 50 tigers. ”
The article was also published in the Chicago Tribune on the same day: "What I want to say is that my biggest expense is the killing of tigers by lions, I have lost 50 tigers in my career, but there could be more; For tigers, lions are too strong and fierce. However, some of these tigers were killed in gang brawls, lions are gang organizations, and tigers simply do not have the opportunity to fight each other with a group of bloodthirsty hooligans. ”
Clyde Betty and other trainers say it's one of the hardest things to do to stop a herd of lions from killing tigers. Although some of Betty's tigers were killed in gang fights, most were killed in one-on-one fights with Betty's fiercest lions. Among them, the following lion kings are the culprits.
The first is this male lion named Nero, who has killed many tigers. Betty said that he believed that a large lion could kill any animal. Shortly after he said this, his lion named "Nero" killed many tigers in the arena, so Betty had to lock him up and forbid him to perform with the tiger again.
The lion, called Prince, also killed several tigers, and it later got a louder nickname - tiger killer. It is a lion that kills a tiger in front of thousands of people in a shrine circus, Clyde Betty stands on the left, unable to separate the two big cats, Prince rides domineeringly on the tiger, just like a man bullying a woman, the tiger is helpless.
The next lion was Caesar, a large black male African lion who had also killed several Siberian tigers.
We move on to Boss Tweed, a lion who is a demon because he fights all three tigers for 20 minutes at the same time, killing them all.
The true description and details of Betty's lion killing all the tigers can be found in archival newspapers and his book. As I said before, Betty prefers tigers to lions and is even more reluctant to lose them for no reason, but in his 40-year career, 50 of his tigers were killed by his lions, so much so that he summed up with many lovers who don't understand big cats: if there are ten battles, then nine times out of ten lions will defeat tigers. The lion is undoubtedly the king of the beast, not because he is prejudiced against lions, but because he has witnessed and experienced this firsthand, Betty will be respected by many people and her words will be so trusting.
