- ## lol I’ll try an explain this as simple as I can… ## A King rules over his Kingdom as a Lion rules over his Pride…what does a Tiger rule over? Nothing, male tigers are solitary animals an they abondin there cubs to the female, leaving them more vulnerable to other predators something a good King would never do… a King will fight for his Kingdom until he is killed. A lion has a mane that resembles a crown of a King, an attributes an social life style resembles Noble Kings. ## A lion is alibied to usually ownly kill what he eats, the tiger kills just for sport as well or any thing that comes near him, as a wise King never looks for war but he is always ready for it, a tiger avoids conflcts when the lattar is equal or stronger than him self, a lion is one of the only animals that by-passes equal an greater strength an fights off multple odds (Rutinely) something a King has always shown beating bigger countrys with superior fighting tactics over numbers. ## A tiger is sneaky, cunning an the more cat like slinking nature of feline world…while the lion is alot different from all other cats he prefers to live out in the open an intiates himself nightly…while the tiger hides in the most thickest of jungles to better stay clear of conflicts. The tiger cant even take care of responcability of his familys welfare, while a lion would lay his life down for his…which would mean no title King for the tiger. ---
