Were tigers and lions decended from the same ancestral line?
From my point of view,these two were the only cats that can truely roar in this world.The only difference is tigers are usually a solitary animals while lions live in groups.Lions prefer living in wider area such as the African savanah with brown colored fur while tigers usually found deep in a rainforest where they developed black stripes and yellowish background on their fur.Both the African lions and Siberian tigers are equally match in strength and size.These are world's most powerful modern cats that nature has produced for millions of years in evolution.The most amazing thing about them is that they can actually crossbreed and gave birth to a cross-species called "liger"(lion+tiger).Can anybody give me some infos about the main question please?
Yes they are closely related to one another. So closely that calling the two a separate species is based more on geographic separation than any great genetic difference.
They are all members of the Panthera family.
Tigers lions leopards and jaguars can all roar because of the incomplete ossification of the hyoid bone.
