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.

"Larger Lungs"
Would you like to show that data?
I can't find it now but IIRC it was a poster named boldchamp who had those data. Also lions generally have larger nasal opening which means more stamina right?
So nothing of substance.
Lions do have larger nasal openings, but if that contributes to better stamina is unknown. The formation of the opening and position of the it on the skull could play a part as well. Tigers have poor sense of smell which possibly could be the contributed to their smaller openings as well but nothing has been done in comparison of one to the other. Both aren't known for their stamina and no hunter/trainer has noted a difference between them. I've seen both sides speculated.
