I'm quite sure that lions nor tigers give a crap about who we humans see as 'King of the Jungle'. ;-)

[Superman-cryw]

Lions are the most powerful and the strongest of all the big cats, he is indeed the King. There is an old Greek proverb which states "Only a lion can kill a lion".

[danielenriquez]

What makes the lion a "King" is literally the capability of a single male lion being able to rule out a whole pack, exactly like a king would rule a kingdom. A single lion will face two or more lions to defend it's title at all cost and sometimes to the death. To me lions are more practical and aggressive towards contenders they have tons of competition out their habitat, specially the Hyenas. A tiger is always lonely and only fights when mating or when defending territory. In my opinion Lions would beat that ass.

Not just the mane, the shape, the lifestyle, the endurance... royalty 👌

Let me break it down for you.
Lions are considered as King of the Jungle as it has Kingship Characteristics such as protecting his Kingdom ( pride and territories) and have an army ( lioness usually hunt for the pride).
While on the other hand, The larger and stronger Tiger, as a solitary animal, cannot be the King of the Jungle as it did possess any kingship abilities like that of a Lion.

Lions are only known as "king of beasts" because their glorious mane looks like a crown.

The lion is King of where he doesn't even live. BEAST

[frezzbysnappywopapy]

Lion aren't the strongest but their behavior is the one which make them fit to be called as king of animal. They have pride to rule, Lion are one of few cats that live in group which made them special among big cats familia. On the other hand, Tiger are fit more as a warrior since they are strong and solidarity. I think physically appearance alone, male lion fit more as a king thanks to their majestic manes.

In the end, physically Elephant is the one who sit on the throne. There's literally nothing that could threat this creature. Lucky for all land predators since Elephant aren't carnivore

Lion attitude is everything! Lion love fighting, and death is nothing for lion! Because lion born to fight kill, conquering and death! Lion never back down he fight to death!

[flyhouseoftruth]

In order to be a king you must have a kingdom. Because tigers are solitary, they are loners, they have no kingdom. A male lion might have a kingdom, his pride, or be looking for one. Tigers are lone warriors, like the highlander, there can be only one.

[abhilashachar]

The pride of lions will be too much for any species, also I saw this documentary other day, where the nomads come and challenge the current king, they first come to the pride like they are looking for a mate, if any pride lioness accepts the offer then the king will allow them inside the pride and they can share the lionesses, if they reject then the king have to defend the nomads sometimes 2 or 3 on 1 matchup and also the king spots them the battleground away from the Cubs and they walk to that spot and then fight. That’s so crazy

[AkshayKumar-elsh]

Lion is the king of jungle.
Tiger is the emperor.

[zazagreen]

Well in terms of size, agility, power, muscle density, bite force tigers prevail but I love both cats, both magnificent and both of them must be preserved.

[faith]

Lion: "I am the king of the jungle".

Tiger: "can you hunt a buffalo on your own?"

Grizzly bear: "who the hell is that guys?"

Wolf: "what is the king of the jungle doing in a circus?"

Jaguar: "you don't even live in a jungle".

[johnnyappleseed]

Now this makes more sense. The Lion is called King because of his characteristics are similar to that of a proud King plus him being a top predator. Tigers are more like an assassin and a lone warrior who is also a top predator. I'm a Tiger man myself but now I understand. Never heard someone explain it like this and makes perfect sense except a lion being King of the jungle when he doesn't live in a jungle. More like King of the savannah. Great video and I love your channel.

[karlafrancia]

LIONS ARE KING & TIGERS ARE SOLDIERS!❤️ Being king doesn’t mean being strongest physically. They are called king because of their kingship attributes, they rule & protect territory, they command and run a pride. While tigers are usually lone hunters. I love them both tho.🦁

[haroldwilson]

To all tiger lovers read and weep. The tiger is and always will be second, it's just a big baldheaded cat that can be kill by neck injuries because it has no protection around it's vital throat. Put the lion in the jungle for sometime and he will definitely be King of the jungle.

[samadkhan]

Not only Jungle Lion is the king of jungle and Also the king of beasts

[cartman]

Wildciencias:It's true that pound for pound, the Siberian tiger is the biggest of all big cats
