Another Lion vs Tiger Stupid questions?

Why does everybody seems to dismissed the fact that male Lions could hunt on their own? All i know is when they're adolescent they are expelled from the pride by the pride leader thus they have to be solitary or seek help from other expelled males. Sure they'll be hunting on their own to survived and when they are strong enough they will be taking over another pride. They cannot be king for sure if they haven't got experience on hunting, don't they?

The male lion is not a particularly efficient hunter- that is one of the reasons that lone males so often die.


Lions, in fact, are not particularly skillful at hunting alone. Female lions tend to hunt in packs.


Basically, it's not that male lions are dismissed as hunters, it is just that in a normal lion social situation the females hunt.
Reply:Males can and do hunt on their own. The price of having the protection of the male is for females to hunt for and feed the males.





Males have more trouble hunting than females because their size makes them slower and the mane does get in the way, but they can and do hunt.

Reply:Very true, but lions are still outweighed by tigers and in every recorded instance of a battle between them tigers have won.
