Reply:Generally speaking, lions - and other big cats - do not see humans as prey, and will try to avoid them, whether or not they are hungry. For example, if you are on safari and are watching lions from a vehicle, they will ignore you completely. Get out of the vehicle, and they will nearly always get up and move away at once. Big cats usually only become man-eaters if they are injured in some way and are unable to catch their natural prey, and even then they must first learn that humans are easy to kill. They would of course attack to protect themselves or their young if they felt threatened, but they would give you fair warning to back off first - if a snarl and a few mock-charges didn't do the trick, only then would they actually attack you in earnest.





Aside from the obvious male/female differences, male lions are larger than females and have a thick mane of fur around the neck and shoulders. This serves to make them appear larger and more intimidating to rivals and more attractive to females, and helps protect the throat during fights. Contrary to what some people believe, male lions do hunt. It's true that the females do most of the hunting, since the male's mane means he can be more easily spotted by the prey, and in any case his main role is to protect the pride from invading males, but he will sometimes join the hunt with the females, particularly when hunting large prey such as buffalo. Also, young males who have left their natal pride but not yet taken over one of their own have no choice but to hunt for themselves.





Incidentally, lion is the common name of the species Panthera leo, and applies to both males and females. A female lion is often called a lioness, but it is just as accurate to call her a lion.





Lions and tigers are probably equally ferocious - both are highly territorial and will defend their turf from others of their own kind, both take large and dangerous prey, and both will kill other predators to reduce the competition for prey. In terms of danger to humans, tigers are known to become man-eaters more often than lions.
Reply:The difference between male and female lions are that male lions have a main (the extra hair around their neck and head) While girls look like big giant cats. Watch Lion King if you still don't understand the difference between male and female lions.





Lions attack humans only if they're hungry, or if you are seriously bugging them.





Female lions are more furious than tigers. (Male Lions just eat, sleep, and if they feel like it, they'll help hunt.)
Reply:Lions and most other animals will only attack human if they feel threatened by that human. I'm not sure if I would want to meet up with one though!
Reply:if you go and try and pet the lion, you'll get killed. keep your distance from them and the lion cubs, and you'll be fine.
Reply:They don't attack people cause they're hungry!! They attack if they feel threatened by the human. Female lions have female organs and male lions have male organs...hahha. And the male has a mane and is generally bigger, whereas the female doesn't have a mane. Females tend to live longer, average life expectancy is like 18 years whereas the male's is about 12. And generally speaking the males do not hunt, but watch the females, who do go hunting.


Both lions and tigers are really territorial, so they are equally ferocious.
Reply:Males are more vicious and attack when thay are hungry
Reply:Male = Lion





Female = Lioness








and theyll attack if threatened or feel threatened
Reply:they attack when hungry or when you are all up in their space.


male lion has the mane (lots of longer neck fur)


and female lions do not have that, they look less ferocious.
Reply:they attack because that is there nature and because they may feel threatened by you.....


but lions are natural born killers so they do it by nature...


and most of the time they would run from you......
Reply:No reason required, THEY WILL KILL YOU.


Wang.


A lion would kick a tigers *** any day of the week.
Reply:they attack out of fear....(rarely hunger) they usually have a reason unless there sick (ex. rabies like things).......the main diff with the male and female lions is the females hunt and male lions take care of the cubs...and if im not mistaken tigers are ":called" more ferocious but that i dont know.
