Tigers' strength and fierceness have long frightened people. Most are solitary with the exception of mating. Eastern cultures contain many legends involving tigers. In the Chinese zodiac, those born in the year of the tiger are thought to be colorful, adventurous and strong. The lion symbolizes feminine power, along with the sun and gold.
Female lions are better at hunting than male lions.
They also are more successful when they hunt in a band. Unlike other cats they prefer to live together in groups. These companies are called prides. Domestic dogs are descended from coyotes and wolves. They were befriended by humans to give advance warning of danger by virtue of their superior senses of smell and hearing.
