So, is the majesty of the lion unmatched? Are there no other contenders for such a claim over the wild kingdom? Its cousin, the tiger, is arguably more ferocious and more powerful. So, who is the true king between them? We will try to find answers to this question from both a historical and a scientific perspective. Licht, Paul; Leitner, Philip (1967).

The outcome of a fight between lion and tiger would depend heavily on the individuals–their age, breed, mood, fighting style, and physiology. However, historical evidence suggests that tigers are a bit more likely to win the duel. a b Popa-Lisseanu, A. G.; Delgado-Huertas, A.; Forero, M. G.; Rodríguez, A.; Arlettaz, R.; Ibáñez, C. (2007).

Can bats swim?

Flight has enabled bats to become one of the most widely distributed groups of mammals. [123] Apart from the Arctic, the Antarctic and a few isolated oceanic islands, bats exist in almost every habitat on Earth. [124] Tropical areas tend to have more species than temperate ones. [125] Different species select different habitats during different seasons, ranging from seasides to mountains and deserts, but they require suitable roosts. Bat roosts can be found in hollows, crevices, foliage, and even human-made structures, and include "tents" the bats construct with leaves. [126] Megabats generally roost in trees. [127] Most microbats are nocturnal [128] and megabats are typically diurnal or crepuscular. [129] [130] Microbats are known to exhibit diurnal behaviour in temperate regions during summer when there is insufficient night time to forage, [131] [132] and in areas where there are few avian predators during the day.
