It is not the largest of the feline species. Siberian tigers are larger than African lions. In fact, it is not even the largest in the jungle. There are many other animals like elephants, rhinos that are bigger. So why is the lion considered the king of the jungle? I wondered about this for quite some time during my childhood. In fact, they are quite sociable and live in groups called pride. There are about 10-15 lions in a pride and of them only 2-3 are fully grown lions. Others are lionesses and cubs.

There are many stories told here in India about what the lion’s share is. Actually, when lionesses are on a pride hunt, the lion comes in after the fact and takes a share of the kill. That is called the Lion part. This disappointed me in childhood. Not very macho on the part of the big man, right? So, is it just the mane that makes it look majestic? But I have a healthy respect for the older generation and their views that develop over the years of experience. No one has seriously questioned the fact that lions are the kings of the jungle. So there must be some reason why they are considered kings.

The lionesses are the ones who hunt and are mainly the ones who sustain the pride. They are smaller and more athletic and hunt smart. Male lions will hunt only when necessary and when alone away from the pride. But they are incredibly powerful and can take down prey that will take 4-5 lionesses to kill.

There are various videos on YouTube and elsewhere on the internet that give you a clearer picture of these magnificent creatures. There is a video in which a lioness tries to catch a wildebeest from a pride. But despite his experience due to the large number of people, he cannot do it. And as the filming continues, a male lion comes out of nowhere and among 100 strong wildebeest fleeing simply plucks a prey. He was horrified to see this. Just the display of courage and strength is impressive to watch.

There is another video showing a group of wild buffalo attacking a pair of lions and lionesses. The big man turned on the buffalo and showed a courage that I can’t imagine any other animal on earth has. He just kept them away with guts, power, and determination. Nobody, just nobody in this world can do this.

There are various speculations about what will happen if a lion and a tiger of the same size fight. The tiger, although it is a powerful animal, cannot really defeat the king. See the available videos. Lions are just fighting machines, born fighters who are destined to lead and have courage. The tigers although better hunters; it cannot outlast lions because lions have stamina for a longer duel. In any case, these two magnificent creations of nature are not often found because tigers live in the jungles and lions in the grasslands.

It would be a tragedy if these creatures weren’t there for the next generation to see. Although efforts are made to protect them, human curiosity is also something to consider during protection.
