Tiger has always been known as the "King of Ten Thousand Beasts". Whether it is humans or animals in nature, when talking about it, a strong sense of fear will emerge in your heart, let alone meet the tiger.
Why are tigers so scary? Even large dog , which is usually popular, is instantly scared when you see tigers ?
In fact, this is not only blood pressure, but also has advantages in body shape, as well as influencing factors such as odor and pheromone.
The origin of the word "king" on the tiger's forehead
According to legend, The original King of Ten Thousand Beasts was not a tiger, but a lion . Even the positions among the twelve zodiac signs are also owned by the lion.
However, this lion is too cruel and tries to lead the entire forest by killing. Where the lion walks, the green will turn into blood red. The many murders committed by the lion made the boss of the Heavenly Court - Jade Emperor very annoyed. But at that time, the lion was famous for being a villain, and the gods in the Heavenly Court fought each other, and no one wanted to come down to earth to rectify them.

However, too white Venus is very smart. Although he refused to "go to the front line", he recommended the Jade Emperor a tiger living in the mountains, saying that it might be able to compete with the lion. The Jade Emperor naturally happily summoned the tiger to heaven.
The tiger did not disappoint everyone's expectations and won all the Heavenly Palace Guards by his own strength. When it stood in front of the Jade Emperor with blood, the throne of the palace guards naturally fell on its head. As the battle became more and more courageous, he took on the task of rectifying the lion and went to the mortal world.
There are many powerful characters under the lion, such as black bears, wild boars, etc., but unfortunately, they are not the one-piece enemy of tigers. The black bear's black skin was stripped down by the tiger to make a winter quilt. The wild boar's fangs were also pulled out by the tiger, making it a handy weapon. Later, even the lion himself was defeated, bowed to the tiger's eldest brother, contributed his own circle of neck hair, and made a scarf for him.

The Jade Emperor in the sky was very happy to hear this news. directly wrote the word "king" on the tiger's forehead . kicked the lion out of the twelve zodiac signs and replaced the tiger in. From then on, tiger has the title of "King of Ten Thousand Beasts".
When a dog sees a tiger, he is "scared" and urinated
If the story in the myth and legend is not enough to convince the public, then let's take a look at the real data about tigers recorded today.
Siberian tiger is currently the number one in the tiger world in the world. The length of the adult male tiger is close to four meters and can weigh 900 kilograms. Even for females who are smaller in size, the length of after adulthood is about two and a half meters, and the weight is more than 300 kilograms.
What's more, the tiger has solid muscles, which are used to fight and grab territory. It's not the kind of big pig with more than 300 kilograms raised in the pig pen in the countryside.
In addition, in terms of body shape, tigers are actually better at fighting other animals than lions, because the lion's mouth and face are a little longer, while tigers have shorter mouth and face, and round heads. But don’t get me wrong, it is not cute at all, because the tongue has barbs that can scrape off the flesh, and it also has broad shoulders and thick forelimbs, which are very suitable for hunting and fighting!
Once someone didn't believe that tigers were domineering, and used a number of dogs that had never seen a tiger to do experiments with control variable method .
Experiment put a tiger toy of the same proportion into an empty room, and then locked a few puppies in to observe their reactions.
Results The puppies are not only not afraid, but they are jumping and having fun with the toys. They tear and bite them around, and then they have already pulled the toys apart after a few strokes. This result is obviously contrary to the preset. So the experiment was terminated and the puppies were brought to the real tiger.
met with the tiger, and dogs that can bark at people seem to have turned into little rabbits. Looking at the tiger sleeping heavily in a cage, the puppies did not dare to move at all. There were even two small dogs. was directly "scared" to , trembling and trying to leave this dangerous place.
This situation also reminded the experimenter that is related to the body shape of the dog?
So he found two large dogs: Tibetan Mastiff and Alaska.
When they stayed alone, they fought each other, their mouths were covered in hair and their bodies were covered in injuries. The scene was very intense. When they came to the tiger together, they formed a strange alliance, hugging each other tightly, trembling, and their thick claws blocked their eyes, looking as if they were afraid of being eaten. Even if they just yawn, they have to shake.

Why do dogs who have never seen tigers be scared
In fact, dogs are afraid of tigers are really an ancient story, which starts with the ancestors of all dogs - wolves.
Don’t look at the pet dogs we raise at home now are very obedient and cute, and stick out your tongue and wag your tail when you see someone. In fact, their biological ancestor wolf is also a terrifying animal. They eat raw meat and drink blood all day long, hunt other small animals in the forest, and are even the most big dog in the world!
Since the beginning of the birth of tigers and wolves, the two have been indivisible racial ties due to the similarity of living habits and eating habits. It is common to grab food and divide the territory, and it has even continued to this day. In those deep mountains and forests where no one survives, tigers and wolves are still mortal enemies .
Wolf
For example, in the Northeast region, when the number of Siori tigers is large, the number of wolves will be greatly reduced , and most of them are eaten by tigers, and the bones of wolves can be seen everywhere; and correspondingly, when the number of tigers drops to a certain level, the number of wolves will surge.
data shows that there were almost no wolves in the Sihothalin Reserve before the 10th century. However, for some reasons, the number of tigers dropped sharply. When scientists went to census of animals after a while, they found that there were a large number of wolves in the forest.
But since the disappearance of tigers is mostly caused by human activities, it is certain that the old tiger has a dimensionality reduction and suppression effect on wolves. If the wolf pack growled twice, it will scatter , but if you don’t run a few steps, you will become a tiger’s on-the-trade meal. It can be imagined that as the direct descendant of the biology of the wolf, the fear of tigers is understandable.
In addition, in addition to this transeconomic blood suppression, from a physiological scientific point of view, there are actually many directions that can explain why tigers are a frightening animal.
First of all, whether it is tigers in nature or tigers raised in captivity in zoos, has a common feature, that is, they can eat raw meat, and tigers in the wild can prey on their own, so there is no need to say more.
The tigers in the zoo will be regularly fed live chickens and ducks by the breeders to ensure the nature of the tiger. Flying chickens, rabbits that jump three feet high, and ferocious geese are all tigers' meals on the plate, and even the breeders dare not enter the tiger garden easily, for fear that they will be treated as a delicious meal by the tiger.
This method causes the tiger to be filled with the bloody smell of . It is naturally a powerful shock to those animals that are used to eating small flowers, grass and artificial products.
Moreover, tigers also have a strong sense of territory. They will use their urine to divide their territory. On average, a tiger's territory can reach about five or six hundred square kilometers. It cannot patrol at all times, so it will leave its own breath in the border area. Other animals rely on this to distinguish whether it is the territory of tigers. All animals that enter the tiger territory without authorization will be attacked by it. At that time, they will either die or be injured!
