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.

I believe they difference between individuals is different. I do not know if cranium size will give a heavier brain but from the sources I've seen the tiger has a slightly heavier brain (Bengal I believe) than the lion, by a couple of grams. What extra information or knowledge does these extra grams carry?


Peter and quate made a great points as well.

Circus trainers will tell different stories of who they believe is smarter, easier to train does not always mean smarter. Different people view intelligence differently.

I believe both animals are very close in intelligent, but brain size alone cannot provide evidence enough for superior intelligence.
