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 5d 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.

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.

Like, as a note. Its clear the Tiger is cool with the Lion and is in fact not upset. They would have no problem telling the other when they've had enough.
