Are Tigers 'Brainier' Than Lions?

[Amnon242]

Lioness:

"However lions also have a extraordinary adaptability."

But probably not the same as tigers.

"However then again explain to me this. Two people with the same sized brain and same growing environment, however one is smarter than the other."

Because his brain can be of higher quality for some reason (or for variety of reasons). This is to a certain extent an individual matter. But something else is to consider this question from an aggregate point of view.

For example, body weight is related to body height. At same height one man can be heaiver. Even a shorter man can be heavier than the taller one. But from an aggregate point of view, we can safely say that taller people tend to be heavier.

Yes, you an say that lions brain is on average smaller but on the other hand relatively more effective than tigers brain. But you dont have any evidence to support such claim.

Brain size indicates higher intelligence of tigers.  This assumption is supported by opinions of scientists, breeders and trainers. 2:0 for tigers, so far...

"Orangutans and chimpanzees are similar in size, the chimpanzee has a slightly larger brain, but the orangutan is said to be more intelligent."

Oh really, I always though that chimpanzee is considered to be themost intelligent primate. Anyway, orangutan is more solitary than chimpanzee, so if he was more intelligent, it would deny your theory about higher intelligence of more social animals :-) Reply
