Beast Studio

Before deciding to compare the combat power of tigers and lions, Liu Wei recalled in his mind the comparisons of several types of beasts that he had done before.

They are the comparison of the combat power of venomous snakes, the comparison of the combat power of tigers and leopards, the comparison of the combat power of great white sharks and crocodiles, and the comparison of the combat power of hippopotamus and Nile crocodiles.

The previous science popularization results were ideal, and the audience recognized Liu Wei’s objective analysis.

However, the protagonist of this comparison is somewhat different from the previous ones.

Not only are the two big cats very famous, the audience's love for them has reached a point where it is subjective.

Therefore, no matter which side Liu Wei prefers, he will be attacked mercilessly by the other side.

After careful consideration, Liu Wei decided to add two prerequisites before comparing the strengths of the two to do science popularization more objectively.

Liu Weidao: "I know you can't wait. The dispute between ligers and tigers can be said to be a highly controversial topic.

Before comparing the two data, I must make the most scientific hypothesis.

First of all, we must be clear about common sense. The living environments of lions and tigers are very different, and the chance of encountering them face to face is almost zero.

In the evolutionary history of large terrestrial mammals, lions and tigers are the most successful examples of evolution.

In areas where lions flourish, other cats are relatively disadvantaged. For example, the total number of lion fossils unearthed in Europe and North America is significantly greater than that of leopards, jaguars, American saber-toothed tigers, and American saw-toothed tigers during the same period.

Of course, a very important reason is that lions like to live in groups. When we compare strengths later, we will mainly talk about individual combat capabilities.

Judging from the distribution range of the fossils that have been excavated, lions have not been active in East Asia. Many scientists believe that the closed environment of East Asia, mainly mountainous terrain, is not suitable for lions to live. It happens that this type of terrain is more suitable for tigers to live. .

Based on years of fossil excavation and research, we have found that tigers and lions always separated their ecological niches to avoid direct competition during the process of radiation and diffusion. It seems that God has given power when creating these two species. Limitations, each is king and does not interfere with each other! "

"It seems to be true!"

"Is there really a God?"

"Awei was just making a metaphor.

Don't be too serious! "

"Individual combat ability must be strong like a tiger!"

"As the saying goes, a person with a perm can't beat a person with a tattoo!"

"Hahaha! Tiger is a social pervert!"

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room is relatively harmonious.

Liu Wei smiled and said: "Just from the comparison of the body sizes of all subspecies of the two animals known to mankind, we can find that the average size of the lion subspecies is actually larger than that of the tiger. Of course, this is also because the Malayan tiger, Javan tiger Tiger and other subspecies are too small, which lowers the average level of the entire tiger family. Compared with the adult male Siberian tiger and the adult Malayan tiger, the former is almost twice the size of the latter.

Looking at all subspecies of lions, although the African lion is the largest species, the gap between other subspecies and it is not as big as the gap between tiger species.

The size of the beast is directly related to its strength, so if we compare the Malayan tiger with the African lion, it is obviously unfair, and the strength gap is obvious.

Therefore, here we use the two largest subspecies, the African lion and the Siberian tiger, to compare their individual combat capabilities! "

"This is okay! It's fairer!"

"Are you even using comparison? The Siberian tiger beat the African lion in seconds!"

"You fart, the African lion is very powerful, okay?"

"The lion blow has started again. Without the team battle of the lions, can you beat the Siberian tiger in a one-on-one fight? I'm afraid you didn't wake up!"

"Aren't you talking about Siberian tigers? Why are you talking about Siberian tigers again?"

"Go away! You illiterate! You don't even know common sense, so shut up!"

"Hahaha! You are so excited!"

"Brothers! Calm down first!" Liu Wei appeased the audience, "We will use the most professional and objective data to analyze!"

"First of all, let's imagine what it would be like to encounter two wild beasts, the African lion and the Siberian tiger, which have never been seen before. This refers to wild species, don't compare them with those in the zoo!"

"Confused!"

"Tiger: Damn it, this guy is hairier than me!"

"Lion: Damn it, what should I do if I encounter a prostitute in society?"

"Lion: Are you coming here?"

"Tiger: The enemy cannot move, I cannot move!"

Liu Wei had to admire the audience's brain circuit, the picture was full of sense, and he couldn't help but smile. However, the audience's ideas were not without basis. On the contrary, although it was just an entertaining barrage interaction, it best fit the personalities of the two beasts.

Liu Weidao: "When lions and tigers face unfamiliar opponents, they will size up the opponent and evaluate the opponent's strength.

Take lions as an example. In the savanna, in addition to body size, male lions will mainly pay attention to the opponent's mane when evaluating their opponent's strength. In their minds, the thicker the mane, the stronger the opponent.

If a lion encounters a tiger, it will not be able to use the most intuitive judgment standard to evaluate the tiger's strength. The scene we see should be a fight of hatred, and the lion roars to test the tiger.

On the other hand, tigers have a very comprehensive ability to assess the strength of their opponents. Scientific research has found that its assessment of the opponent's strength is more accurate than that of humans. As for the principle? It is still under research and discussion, but this fact is summarized through the results of countless actual tiger battles.

Obviously, when a lion and a tiger meet, the tiger can more accurately assess the lion's strength and then make preparations for attack or defense.

This means that before the battle begins, Tiger has already gained the upper hand in psychological preparation! "

"Damn it, tiger still has such ability!"

“I’ve never heard of it being able to assess an opponent’s strength before!”

"You haven't heard of this much!"

"Awei, let's compare the combat effectiveness directly!"

Liu Wei looked at the audience's impatient barrage and said: "The standard that determines the combat effectiveness of beasts is their physical condition, and we won't mention the size!

First, let’s compare the heads of African lions and Siberian tigers!

The visual confusion caused by the mane of a male lion makes us think that its head is larger than that of a tiger. In fact, after removing the mane, the size of the two heads is almost the same.

As we just mentioned, male lions will observe the mane to evaluate the strength of their opponent. It can be said that the mane can represent the combat effectiveness of a male lion, but it is only a symbolic mark of the same species. It is not as many people think. Mao played a decisive role in actual combat.

It can only provide a certain defensive ability. After all, cats like to bite off the opponent's neck to end the battle, but the mane will also weaken the offensive ability of the lion, so it can be said that the performance is quite satisfactory.

Analyzing only from head size, African lions and tigers are about the same.

Next, we compare a physiological part that is particularly important in actual combat - heart capacity! "
