Why is it always LION WHO IS KING OF ANIMALS? Why not TIGER, ELEPHANT OR RHINO OR RABBIT OR DEER....?

One fine sunny day the Lion felt rather strong and wanted to test his prowess. As he went about the African Jungle with thick canopying trees, the Lion met the Monkey, stopped and asked him: "Who is the King of the Jungle?" The Monkey bowed and answered "You Sire".\n\nFeeling proud and reassured the Lion saw the Hyena and repeated the question to the Hyena who again confirmed that indeed the Lion was the King of the Jungle.\n\nThe Lion then noticed an Elephant two storeys high. Resting under the shed of a Mopani tree, chewing cud.\n\n"Who is the King of the Jungle?" the Lion briskly demanded of the elephant. Before the Lion could finish asking the question, the elephant swooped the Lion off its feet and threw it against the Mopani tree.\n\nBefore the Lion could shake his senses back, the elephant picked it up again and beat it against a rock.\n\nThe Lion managed to extricate itself from the powerful grip of the elephant truck, stood at a distance and said: "No, no, no, you do not have to be so nasty and violent, just because you do not know the answer".

Tigers, because they are beautiful creatures and I love them so much.  I love the way their muscles ripple when they walk...I love their unique markings....I love their eyes...I love everything about them.  I think they are the most amazing animal out there and also the most beautiful.

animals didn't torture slaves and criminals, people did, they used animals to do it.  Oh lions were the main ones.

I wonder your appetite for wildlife in this single question. All your questions have answers on situation. \n1. Hippo is heavier and bulkier. It is one of the most dangerous animals to roam around. If a hippo and rhino fight in water, the hippo will easily easily easily win. But on land, rhino has the speed (force) and armour to give a very tough fight. I believe the rhino could win after a tough fight.\n\n2. There was a story recently in India that a tiger which wanted to feed on a new born elephant calf, killed its mother. This would have been a wonderful eco sight but it was found only on investigation. If this is the case, then I believe a lion can take down an african male elephant depending on these two situations. \na) both are alone \nb) if elephant is not alone, it should have a baby calf to guard. \n\nHope this gives some food for your thought.

In Africa, a pride of lions (male: ~400 lbs, female: ~280 lbs) pretty regularly hunt wildebeest (440-600 lbs), although they usually go after the sick or young ones.  Occasionally, they can take down a giraffe (2420-4250 lbs), but this doesn't happen often.  Elephants (11,000 lbs) and rhinos (2500 lbs) are just a little dangerous to be bothered.\nIn Asia, tigers can take down a water buffalo (1800-2600 lbs), although again, they usually go for the sick or young ones.\nThese are the cats with the largest prey.

Have a look at some of the photos of lion-tiger crosses (Liger) on yahoo images . They grow absolutely massive because of some hormonal inhibiting mechanism going 'a bit funny in the mix'

Dear naive one:\n\nIn my opinion, you should revise your question if you want one to answer it. The correct revision of your question would be "What is the fastest running animal?". Have you ever heard of grammar classes? If you are asking me what the fastest animal on earth is, I assume it is the cheetah( unless there is an faster animal that man has not yet discovered). Cheetah comes from the Hindi word meaning "spotted one" and/or from the Sanskrit word, "chitraka".\nBeing one the fastest known terrestrial(terra=earth)animals, the cheetah can travel about 60 miles per hour. If you do not remember what your pedants taught you at school, I highly suggest that you take a vitamin supplement called "Mega Memory". To my knowledge, it does not hurt to try new things. I have completed my job of educating you. It is interesting to note that to my knowledge most seven-year-olds know that the cheetah is the fastest land animal.\nGood bye.\nSincerely, \nClark

Because not all apes turned into humans so some apes remained to keep reproducing. And just a question for the other answerers: If god created everything, surely he could have not created himself bringing up my point: Who created god, but then who created the thing, that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,.... that created god?

I disagree with everyone here.\n\nI think the lion would win. Which was also shown on a discovery channel show, I forget the name of the show...but they did mock fights with different animals. I don't know if itss till on the air.\n\nAnyway, a lion in the wild faces fights with other male lions over territory and family. But in the wild, a tiger rarely sees another tiger...they simply do not have the same skills a male african lion would have. A lion would win.

The matriarch elephant is always the oldest female.  She is in charge because she knows the most.  If there's no water in a usual place, she will remember other places she's been to for water in her lifetime and lead the band there.  Her memories literally keep her herd alive.  That's the problem with poaching--they kill the biggest elephants which are the oldest and there's no tribal memories left to sustain the herd.\nI saw a show on elephants a while ago. One older female had died and the next few years when the herd went by her bones they all made a detour to rub them with their trunks as if to say hello. It was very moving.

The domestic cat is a member of the genus Felis.  Lions and tigers are members of the genus Panthera.  The house cat is as closely related to the lion as it is to the tiger.  \n\nThis rotten forum won't let me draw a picture, so here's the best way I can explain it in text.\n\nImagine you're an only child, but your uncle (father's brother) has two children.  Which of your uncle's children are you more closely related to?  The answer is neither, you are equally related to both of them.\n\nIt's the same here.  Panthera and Felis share a common ancestor many millions of years ago, while lions and tigers only separated a short time ago.

They did this one on that show Animal Faceoff and the lion was the winner because of its brutal lifestyle in constantly fighting all the time. Lions fight other prides lions when their territory overlaps, and hyenas. But I completely disagreed with their results and the show has been cancelled I think.\n\nA Bengal tiger can kill a a fully grown Indian elephant one-on-one, an animal that weighs about 20 times its own size. It says that in the wikipedia. A tiger can kill and drag a 2,700 pound Indian gaur (like a buffalo) about 5 times its own bodyweight. Lions aren't that strong and they can't kill elephants neither. I'd say even a tiger only half the size of a lion would beat the lion, but tigers are bigger.\n\nBut you gotta remember lions live in a pride so an entire pride of lions is more powerful than a single tiger, I think.

I'm not into the whole taking-over-the-world thing, but you make an interesting point.  I'd probably choose squirrels (they're my favorite animals, that's why) or koalas.  Squirrels would be all quick and tricky and trying to confuse us all, and they'd probably try to run us all over with huge machine/car things, so they might not make the best world rulers; koalas, on the other hand, are pretty laid back and slow, although I know that the male koalas are known to get pretty violent and crazy during mating season, so that could potentially turn out bad as well...
