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

I feel like lions are just angry golden retrievers with big teeth.

A ranger at a lion conservation park said lions are very dumb with tiny attention spans. We were told to put a stick in their mouth if they get cranky, because they will be so distracted by the stick they forget they wanted to eat you

The ranger let us pet a well-fed juvenile but warned us not to pet it like a cat. He said they hate that and will murder you. He told us to slap them like a horse. You can definitely tell how strong they are because those muscles are huge
