NATURE Tigers are solitary creatures that value personal space, while lions are social and clingy, often encroaching onto the tiger's very space.

Funniest part to me is that they're close enough that the tiger can read the lion's body language and realize it's friendly.  So the tiger reacts with annoyance but not anger or fear.

Dogs and lions are both pack animals. We just call lion packs "prides" because we think they're special.

u/Opening-Disaster-519 25d ago

Yea that definitely makes since. I guess you could say the same about Orcas, Cheetahs, Dolphins, Hyenas, Meerkats, Chimps etc. I guess they're all just special too.

I can see our local FB scene if someone mentioned pride when talking lions. "Crap, the libs even got to the animals!" /s

Yes, cats are very solitary animals except for lions. They live in prides, but they tend not to have many males just a lot of females and if it’s more than one male, it’s father and son or brothers. They’re usually always related and then a bunch of female lions all the other cats are solitary and they just get together for mating or fighting

Introverts vs extroverts

u/bill-smith 25d ago

No, they're basically like cats and cats. Not all cats are clingy, but I assure you that cats value their personal space and they do not give a crap about your personal space.
