Are Tigers 'Brainier' Than Lions?

[sanjay]

Quote:It has sometimes been assumed that social species, such as lions, should have larger brains than solitary species, such as tigers, because of the need to handle a more complex social life within groups or prides. However, despite a few studies suggesting a relationship between big brains and sociality in mammals, evidence for the link is far from clear.

@TheLioness As it is clear from the article that social structure does not mean a larger brain. But As I know the most intelligence animals in the worlds are social , for example Chimps, Orangutan, dolphin, crows etc . In animals world from human point of view larger brain is symbol of more intelligence as there is no way to take I.Q test of animals in normal condition. Reply
