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.

Tiger fans usually point to larger brains size of tigers and opinions of scientists, trainers and breeders who say that tigers are smartest. Lion fans say that social animals are said to be smarter and they also point to this study, which supports this claim (btw as social animals lions proved the ability to learn from each other). So I would say that its 2:2 so far. And I would also say that tigers are more effective (I dont want to use the misleading word "intelligent") as individuals while lions are more effective as a group. And its probably foolish to implement human understanding of intelligence towards animals - they are as intelligent as they need to be in their own environment. 

Every being (or each group of people for example) has their own abilities and different kind of intelligence. Who is more intelligent, men or women? Managers or experts? Programmers or lawyers? 

Einstein: "Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
