[0:00]So why are tigers not king of the jungle? I mean, they are both bigger and stronger than most lions. And let's not forget that lions don't even live in the goddamn jungle to begin with. So why in the schnitzel are lions considered the king? Well, first off, in order to be a king, you have to actually have something and someone to rule over. Which these sigmas do not, as they are mostly solitary creatures with no friends and family in sight. Lions, on the other hand, live in large prides with a very similar structure to that of an ancient royal hierarchy. But this still does not explain why it is referred to as the king of the jungle. It would make more sense if they were named King of the Savannahs or something like that, but there is actually a very simple explanation as to why this makes sense. You see, back in the old days, lions actually roamed the jungles of India, which is where the name originated. In addition to this, the word jungle itself actually comes from the Hindu word jungle. Which means any wilderness, not just the tropical jungles we think of today.
