Is the king of the jungle a lion or a tiger?

King of the jungle, tiger.

The lives of tigers and lions do not overlap. Tigers live in forests and lions live in grasslands. Finally, it is clear. Usually, the lion is the "overlord of Africa" and the tiger is the "king of forests" and "king of beasts".

Tigers are typical mountain forest animals, which can live well from tropical rain forests and evergreen broad-leaved forests in the south to deciduous broad-leaved forests and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests in the north. In the northeast of China, it often appears in mountainous areas, such as ridges, bushes, rock or gravel ponds, etc. In order to hunt.

So the tiger is the real "king of the forest".

According to the investigation in 20 16, the number of wild tigers in the world is 3890.
