Its impossible to say for sure which one is generally more aggressive/ferocious. Its just an opinionated matter. Each animal could show aggression just as frequently or randomly as the other. Both animals are more likely to run away from a human than to attack a human. However, each animal could attack just as likely as the other. It just depends which animal is in a specific situation at that time, or which specific individual of each species we are talking about. Just generally speaking, there is no obvious choice of which one os more ferocious. Its all circumstantial. If you walk into a tiger cage at the zoo and you walk into a lion cage at the zoo, the chances of them attacking or not attacking are about the same. Just depends how those individuals are feeling in the moment, or if something triggers them. In terms of inter-species conflict, lions are just will just as commonly fight overt territory as tigers will. Neither of them demonstrate any special aggressive behavior that the other one does not. Its subjective. complete

ReplyDeleteI particularly appreciated your list that playfully juxtaposed words and their anagrams, like "Rage" and "Cage." It got me thinking, the tiger's "Rage" in its "Cage" is quite symbolic, isn't it? Norris might be hinting at how nature's fury can sometimes mirror the constraints we humans place on it. The anagrammatic relationship of words like "Stairs" and "Stars" or "Bars" and "Cars" could hint at how close yet far away the natural and the man-made worlds are.
