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.
