There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

That cat or big cat?cat different with big cat because cat have small body so small body make they fast metabolism

"Heart rate of lions ranged from 42 to 76 beats per minute (bpm). Heart rate of tigers ranged from 56 to 97 bpm"

This is for captive Cats, I'd assume Wild ones would be lower, like the same with Humans, more active human beings will have a lower resting BPM.
So there is a similar bpm between the two while internal body temp is higher in Tigers and other big cats in general, big cat body temp is between 99.5-102 deg. https://prezi.com/qiywm7kjwx7c/animal-body-temperature/
So a bit higher compared to humans.
At least when it comes to protein, big cats (obligate carnivores) have short intestines that are designed to process protein quickly compared to humans who have long intestines that process proteins and carbohydrates slower, what that means when comparing ones metabolism to another is unknown to me at the moment. It seems as though their digestive systems perform very different functions, "Specifically, cats have high protein requirements and their metabolisms appear unable to synthesize certain essential nutrients (including retinol, arginine, taurine, and arachidonic acid), and thus, in nature, they can rely only on animal flesh as their diet to supply these nutrients."
So I don't think it's as simple as "who's faster?"

Ok thankyou so much sir...
This last question...who is more active tiger or human?because tiger more long sleep than human...

A wild animal will always be more active, they still live by survival of the fittest, we do not.
