Trading & Selling @ Arcade center

Hearsay story : This team of a single Man (with dye yellow hair) and/or a Teenager boy had always been spotted at Lot 1 arcade trying to sell their Anmal kaiser cards (some english cards and alot Japanese cards for sale).The Golden hair guy had been there frequently and he is indeed very persuasive in selling the cards to those parents /kids there.

The problem is : Sometime people complain about their attitude as he is quite pushy in his words to ask parents to buy...but this type of sale tactic may cause discomfort to others.

Real encounter from one of our ZoneX forumer:XX道, which he shared on 7/11/2009:
Photobucket

Blog Master suggestion: Report him to the arcade's staff if he is overdoing over his "pushy" sale that had somehow become a nuisance to anyone there & had casue any form of disruption or discomfortable feeling to individual. Otherwise,express to him politely that you are not interested or simply just ignore him !

Is trading sale ok within the arcade ?
Rumours mention that some Seller sharing their bad experienc having been chased out of the center as he try to close deal (exchange card for $ transit).Reported are 2 places (one @ parkway arcade ,the other @ century square ) where the staffs DO NOT ALLOW business Touting within the gaming premise.

Another of our Zone-X forumer had posted the following from the Miscellaneous Offence Chapter 184 that reads:

Touting for business

32. Any person in any public road, public place, place of public resort or vehicle on a public road who, in connection with any trade or business (whether or not carried on by that person), solicits any other person persistently or in any manner as to cause or be likely to cause annoyance to that other person shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine of not less than $1,000 and not more than $5,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both and, in the case of a second or subsequent conviction, to a fine of not less than $2,000 and not more than $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or to both.

So , beware of the Law !! Obey and do not break them in any manner

Do you know ?
There are routine patrol from Policeman (usally they work 2 as a team) to spot-check arcade place at least 1-2 times a day. I've always hang around sembawang's Sun plaza (star Factory) and had seen this type of routine spot check quite often.

Will Policeman catch you for using PRINTED photocopied AK card @ arcade ?
Accordingly to some saying , as long as you put real $ into the animal kaiser machine to play the game , it is OK to use photcopied cards for fun playing. The arcade staff also never stop you from not using original card ~ more important to them is that you put CREDIT into the machine for hours of play ..then their business is solid lah..haha


Blog Master suggestion: If really need to deal any cards, both Seller and Buyer should do it outside the arcade place. Buyer should consider carefully and make purchase only if the price is right for his budget limit.


I am curious whether if any of us here had been warned / fine for using PRINNTED card ? Also wondering if any arcade staff had stop you from using such photocopied card within their game premise? We want you to Share with us your experience..

We welcome any feedback or suggestion regards this topic.

Price Trend : Champion Lion card

The 1st prize for Version 1 battle tournament = Champion Lion Card

However, current Anmal Kaiser Version 1 is coming to a end very soon.
(Everyone is now saving up & waiting for version 2)

So , what will be the next Champion card for Version 2 tournament ?
Rumours says that it is the Great white shark !
Photobucket

The next question is ...what will happen to the Champion Lion ?

There will be no more issue of Champion Lion from Version 2 onwards. And being the very 1st issue , this is a very IMPORTANT card for every animal kaiser Collector ! I can say that this is a MUST HAVE item ..die die also must get.(Not to be missed !)

Since there will be no more supply , demand will rise and hence will be the price .

Base on what i observed over past 2 months, the prices of champ Lion various from S$75(lowest) to S$180 (Highest).

Ebay Selles always like to start bid from S$100 or BIN(Buy it now) priced at S$150
Photobucket

Take note that our current Version 1 (champion Lion) is slighly cheaper or almost equal to current Version 8 (Jap Champion Gorilla Card). This is the 5th champion card issued in Japan. 1 seller @ Ebay had the starting price fix at S$130 and had the same BIN price at S$150.
Photobucket

Take note that Japanese Champion Lion card (which is issued 2 years ago for their version 1) is considered rare and can fetch close to S$200 if not more.. with current market.

All hardcore collector should get all 5 Japan champion cards..as a complete set

Current market price ?
If arcade center are no longer giving out champ Lion card , its value and price will GROW up with great demand !

Price Champion Lion card had been gone up slightly and stablilise around S$95 ~ S$110...it's value will continue to rise up over the time just like the Japan's Champion Lion card where collector are soughting for to complete their CHAMPION SET.
I will not be surprise if it will reach S$200 for a good condition champ lion card in 2 years time , assuming that Animal Kaiser continue to grow popularity in Singapore.

Hearsay story:One of the ALL-time-BEST experienced gamer who had won more than 10 champion Lion over these 3 months...mentioned that just last week in few days ,he had very good business until he's out of stock now. He continue to receive many calls for order.This is what i call BIG demand but less supply now.

Please be reminded that we are now into the last or second last week of version 1.

Timezone had already stopped all version 1 tournament since Oct09. Rumours says that Virtualland & Star factory had already stopped all version 1 tournament.Curently, if you want to win the last few available Champion Lion...ZoneX is the only hope now.
They may stop anytime too (pending version 2 launch)...So, Go get it before they are gone !!!


Note : The above pricing are personal Opinion from Blog Master. This is for pleasure reading and reference purpose only.

Winning Tips : Sure win Champion !

How to guarentee to win Champion Lion for version 1 battle tournament?

Tip:Gather 15 headcounts (friends/relative/family members etc) and include yourself to make up = total 16. Take down all the names & IC number particular, then approach any arcade center to register early.. preferly immdiately after current tournament end(so that you will be the 1st to book for next week's schedule). Entire Round 1 will be all your own people and whoever wins also doesn't matter ...the Champion Lion card + Gold deck box + Silver deck box will go to Organiser who will pay for everyone to play free. So the inestment cost is 16 x S$2 = S$32


Story hearsay(1):31% winning percentage
2 week ago @ Ang Mo Kio Big Mac center (Virtual land) ,Both Round 1 and Round 2 had the same 10 players from 2 families.
Family (1) = 5 members
Family (2) = 5 members
The remaining places are left for others to join...
So,the chance of Winning for each family = 5/16 = 31.25%

Result : Heard that one of the family's 4 years old daughter won the champion
(1st time !)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Story hearsay(2):100% winning percentage
Last week @ Bishan J8 (Virtualland) tournament Round 1 was book by 1 resourceful Aunty. She approach the staff with a listing of all name particulars and filled up the entire list for Round 1 (all 16 spaces occupied). Then , she ask for another sheet of registration paper and straight away filled up the same name lsiting for Round 2 !! The staff did not stop her beacause registration is base on 1st come 1st serve !!

That week tournament is just like a BIG party from the same "family " gang of 16 people ...other people who wanted to join the tournament...sorry loh...full house...wait another week ..wah ~ wah ~~

Result : Heard that her daughter won 1st prize in round 1...not sure about round 2.
Its a fantastic strategy deal....

Total cost :S$64 = 2 Champion Lion cards + 2 Gold decks + 2 Silver decks

So now...what are you guys waiting for? go get your army of 16 and start to register and book for entire month..haha


Latest update:
Rumour mention that one of the arcade center (White Sand ~ Virtualland) now had tighten their Registration process. They do not allow to register for Round 2 until all Round 1 ..16 spaces are filled up

LION VS TIGER: Who Will Win In A Fight? (Part 2)

The tiger is the largest of the cats and is a perfect killing machine with a superior combination of power, cunning and agility.

On the other hand, A lion has an appearance to frighten even the mightiest of animals. There have been some real fights between the two kings of the jungle.

So, what do the evidences and experts (and common sense) say about who will win a fight between the two, or rather, if there are 100 tiger-lion fights which one will have more victories?

THE LIKELY WINNER

Captive animals:
Captive animals often behave differently than the wild ones. In a fight between captive animals, a tiger will have the advantage of size and power. A captive lion will lack the fighting experience of a wild one.


Let’s now talk about ‘wild’ animals, ie, both the animals are at their prime and have been captured fresh from their natural habitat and are in good natural condition.

In small pit/cage:
Lion will have a slender advantage if the fight is in a small closed area since it may get the benefit of taller structure and the mane and the tiger may feel the lack of space.

Agility may not be a big factor. But it may really depend on the size of the respective animal. If the tiger is significantly larger than the lion, the lion may not get a chance to do much harm to the tiger.



In a large area (forest/grassland or even a large ‘cage’):
Tiger may win easily. The stronger hindquarters come into play here. It helps to keep balance and make fast movements.

If the two animals are ignorant of each other’s presence at the begining, it will really be a tiger’s game. Siberian tigers are sometimes reported to predate on female/young brown bears. The female bears may be larger than the tigers and as aggressive as the male ones. But the tiger stalks the bears and then and hunts them.

In a similar way, if a tiger and a lion are released in a forest/grassland, a tiger’s stealth-attacks may be decisive.


Why The Tiger Has a Better Chance of Winning:

There is a popular notion that a lion is meant for fighting whereas a tiger is meant for hunting and hence a lion will win in a tiger-lion fight. Some people mention that like a pitbull can own larger dogs, a lion can defeat a tiger since, like the pitbull, the lion is meant to be a fighter.

This is a bad comparison. That a lion plays the role of a fighter in a pride doesn’t make the tiger a non-fighter and just a predator. A tiger predates AND fights. And that’s why they are way more active than lions.

Over their lifespan, a lion fights other lions less than ten times. This may be well less than the number of tiger-fights a tiger has to face over food/mating/territory. A lion may have to fight off hyenas, too. A tiger, on the other hand, fights with leopards, wolves, dholes and black/brown bears over food/territory.


The ’strength’ analysis is of course an ideal one. A lot of them may prove to be invalid in real fights. Most of the ‘documents’, ‘eye-witness accounts’ and vidoes (though most of them are manipulated to suit the story of movies) show that there is more chance of a tiger winning the fight than a lion winning it. It seems that a tiger might be reluctant to fight at first. But if compelled to, it’s a much better and more powerful fighter than a lion.


Size does matter. An average Bengal/Siberian tiger measures 10 feet and 500 lbs. Can measure up to 11 feet and ~620 lbs. Lions average 9 feet and 410 lbs. Can grow as large as 10 feet and 530 lbs. (Not considering the more extreme cases for either cat). Clearly, tigers have an advantage.

Additionally, the build of a tiger provides much more balance and agility. The weight of a tiger is more evenly distributed over its body-length than that of a lion. A tiger’s tail, being heavier compared to a lion’s, makes it easier for the tiger to turn. And if the animal with larger size also has greater agility, it’s the one that should win more fights. Add to that the advantages of bigger paws, faster swipes and longer canines!


An African lion, hailing from a place where it doesn’t get much competition from other animals, attacks from the word ‘go’. On the other hand, a tiger, coming from places where it fights bears, wild dogs etc, assesses the situation first and then goes for the kill. (Ok, lions, too, live alongside wild dogs. But they don’t clash much since lions live in prides. For the same reason, lions rarely fight leopards). For this reason, some animal trainers and experts have mentioned the tiger as an intelligent boxer. Additionally, the Bengal tigers are widely considered as being extremely aggressive when drawn into a fight.


In 100 fights between the two in any natural setting and in non-extreme climate, I’d bet a Bengal tiger will own an African lion 80 times provided there is no bias in choosing the animals. I’d expect an average Bengal tiger of the Terrai with 530 lbs and 10′, to make a short work of an average South African lion (~410 lbs and 8.5′).

Even pound for pound, a tiger is stronger. If it’s a smaller-than-average Bengal tiger, with size and wight similar to the lion’s, it should be 70-30 in favor of the tiger.


Overall, there may be very few really big and aggressive lions that may defeat a Bengal/Siberian tiger, but on an average a tiger will win against a lion almost everytime.

The Ambush Killer - Tiger

Photobucket

Living largely secretive life and attacking preys using stealth, cunning and agility, a tiger is mostly considered a villain (like Sher Khan in Kipling’s Jungle Book).

Moreover, the man-eaters in India have further maligned the image of a tiger. Not much is still known about the lives of the tigers in the wild and hence a lot of the information considered as ‘facts’ about tigers are merely informed guesses.

Since the chance of encountering a tiger in the wild is way less than the chance of encountering a wild lion, a lot of data about tigers reflect either only a small population of them, or are based on indirect studies, or both. Also, a tiger’s unwillingness to fight without necessity has often been seen as lack of courage and aggression.

Vital Statistics:
[There are a lot of variation in the figures found online.

* Largest Siberian Tiger found in the wild : 845 lbs/ 384 kg.

* Longest Siberian Tiger found in the wild: 12′9″/ 3.9 m

* Largest Bengal Tiger found in the wild: 857 lbs/ 389 kg. 3.22 m 10 ft 7 in between pegs (3.37 m 11ft over the curves)

*(The largest tiger ever held in captivity, and the heaviest ‘natural big cat’ on record, is a nine-year-old male Siberian named ‘Jaipur’, owned by animal trainer Joan Byron-Marasek of Clarksburg, New Jersey, USA. This tiger measured 3.32 m 10 ft 11in in total length and weiged 423 kg 932 lb in October 1986)

* Average size (mode) of Siberian Tigers living in the wild: 550 lbs (250 kg) and 11′/ 3.35 m

* Average size (mode) of Bengal Tigers living in the wild: 500 lbs (227 kg) and 9′6″/ 2.9 m (Bengal tigers have a slightly shorter tail than the Siberians)

** The Bengal Tigers have the longest canines **

The Greatest Cat:
Tigers vary in size as well as in aggressiveness (supposedly, at least), not only across different sub-species but also depending on the region they inhabit. Bengal tigers found in Nepal, Bhutan and in Assam, Uttaranchal & West Bengal (Northern part) states in India (collectively, the tigers of the Terrai and Duars) are larger than Bengal tigers found in Sunderbans and Rajasthan.

The Sumatran tigers are supposedly the fiercest but they are the smallest sub-species of tigers. The Siberian tigesr are the biggest, but considered to be less agile and less aggressive than a Bengal tiger. The Bengal tigers are most widely touted as the most skillful and overall best breed of tigers – nearly as big (male ~230 Kg, ~3 m) as the Siberian ones but much more fierce, agile and strong.

The Bengal tigers of the Terrai are often bigger than average Siberian tigers


Relative Advantages Over a Lion:

1.Longer and often larger size. Now this is often posed by the people who pick a tiger to win, as a serious threat to a lion. A larger yet more agile body of a tiger is really a serious threat to a lion. But this alone can not be a decisive factor.


2.More powerful back legs. This helps a tiger to leap more, to spring from a disadvantageous position and to make sudden moves. This is of tremendous advantage to the tiger. This gives the tiger the ability to rest its weight on the hind legs and make swipes with both of the front legs. Plus, the strong hindquarters allow them to attack from the side and spring from unexpected/disadvantageous corners. Moreover, a tiger makes faster swipes than a lion. Tigers are more agile than lions.


3.Skills of ambush attacking, tree-climbing, swimming etc are handy if the going gets tough. Plus, tigers are faster runners. These are all defence mechanisms for a tiger just as the mane is for a lion.


4.Longer canines, longer claws and larger paws. These are the ultimate weapons of a cat. Tigers have considerable advantage here.

The KING of Beasts - Lion

Lion is known to be the King of Beasts across most cultures of the world.
Photobucket

This is mostly because of a lion’s appearance and partly because of the social structure of a pride and the lion’s role in the pride. A lion does possess a royal look and attitude. Add to that a tremendous roar that can be heard over miles on the Savannah. Also, living in a pride, a lion doesn’t need to hide itself or avoid any other animals including human beings.


A lions lives in the open and controls its territory like a true king, sporting a ‘kingly’ mane and heading a pride that feeds him. The Bible of the Christians and the Geeta of the Hindus both mention the lion as the king of the beasts. So it has got accepted as a sign of royalty all over the world from as early as the Roman empire

Vital Statistics:
[There are a lot of variation in the figures found online. I tried to collect them from reputed instituion and/or govt sources]

*Largest Lion in captivity: 806 lbs (366 kg)

*Largest Lion found in the wild: 702 lbs (318 kg) and 11′ (3.35 m)

*Average size (mode) of African Lion: 410 lbs (186 kg) and 8′10″ (2.7 m)

** Lions stand around 1.15m (including mane) at shoulder as opposed to 1m of a tiger


The King of The Kings:
When you think of a lion, you think of an African lion. The Asiatic ones are somewhat smaller in size and relatively unknown living in the tiger country. There is no significant variation in size among the African lions. In some online forums it is claimed that Ngorongoro Crater lions are the largest sub-specis of lions. But there is no base to that claim.. The Tsavo lions are generally considered more aggressive, but they are naturally maneless.
Choice: African lion (with mane).


Relative advantages over a tiger:


1.Thick protective mane. It also makes a lion look much bigger, heavier and taller than it really is. This is of immediate psychological disadvantage to any animal fighting a lion. It’s downright scary to see a lion coming towards you roaring. A lioness, even if it were of similar size, wouldn’t inspire as much awe. From the fight videos, it does seem that the mane is of huge advantage to the lion. In the only fight-video of a maneless (shaved) lion, the lion seemed too easy to beat by the tiger. The mane is the biggest weapon for a lion – both for defence and for scaring off the opponent.


2..More massively built shoulders. Both the cats have extremely powerful and muscular ’shoulders’ and forelimbs.


3.Taller structure. This makes the lion more intimidating. Also, this somewhat compensates for the weaker hindquarters.


Here’s a very good video showcasing lions:

Myths About Lions and Tigers

Myth 1: [The lion has a stronger forequarter]
The fact is, the lion has slightly more massively built shoulders and the tiger has more developed legs. Overall a tiger is more massively built than a lion. Even pound for pound, a tiger has anatomy-advantage over a lion in the forequarters.


Myth 2: [The tiger hunts larger preys]
The fact is, both these cats generally hunt similar sized preys (the size of wildebeast) and both these cats may go for larger preys once in a while. In some areas, these cats get ’specialized’ in hunting certain kinds of preys. In Nagarahole National Park in India, the tigers prefer to hunt the large gaurs.


Myth 3:[The lion has more bite force]
The fact is, pound for ponud, a tiger has more bite force qutient, though the difference is not huge.


Myth 4: [Tigers are more ferocious]
The fact is, There has never been such a claim by any scientist or noted animal observer. This is a bizare claim with no base. Both these animals show similar ferocity (of course, ferocity is not quantifiable) when drawn into a fight.


Myth 5:[Lions have larger heads]
The fact is, an average lion has (surprisingly) the same size of head as an average Bengal/Siberian/Indochinese tiger. The tiger’s head is just a little wider and shorter, allowing it to have more bite force.


Myth 6:[Lions just fight and tigers just hunt]
The fact is, nomadic male lions hunt regularly and skillfully. Even resident male lions hunt sometimes. On the other hand, tigers fight, often to death, with other tigers. Tigers fight fairly often, so much so that around 30% of tiger deaths (for Bengal tigers) occur due to territorial fights. Also, tigers fight with leopards, bears, wild dogs, elephants etc. Most of the tiger vs tiger and lion vs lion fights end after one combatant escapes while some fights in both the cases may result in severe injury or death.


Myth 7: [The lion has better fighting techniques]
The fact is, the tiger shows better ’skills’ of fighting. It can swipe much faster than a lion, can use both the front legs at the same time for making swipes, is faster and more agile than the lion.

From Wikipedia Discussions:

Wikipedia, being a relatively open body of knowledge and fed by contributions of a lot of informed people (and a lot of morons, too), tend to have more-or-less unbiased information. I’ve found some interesting discussion there (Wikipedia Talk) about tigers and lions. These are mainly about size comparison and the following types of animal interactions. While these don’t necessarily say anything about about fighting skills of either lion or tiger, they go on to show how immensely powerful the tiger is.


Tiger/Lion and Rhino:
There are evidences that tigers in the North and East India kill rhinos, even though rarely. But no lion has been known to have killed a rhino. Not even a lion pride. But this is not a good comparison of strength. It surely goes on to say that the tigers must be super-strong, but it can’t discredit the lion for not attacking a rhino. The African rhinos have longer and sharper horns and may grow bigger than the Indian ones.

There's 2 WWF report:
1 report is on two orphan rhino calves whose mother has been killed by a tiger.
Another report saying that three rhinos have been killed by tiger(s).


Tiger/Lion and Elephant:
The Indian elephants avoid tigers. Elephants are known to be attacked by tigers, even though rarely. One single tiger can kill a bull elephant. While it’s true that one single lion can not kill a bull elephant, we need to see the difference in elephants.

The African elephants are much larger than the Indian ones and have longer tasks. A bull African elephant is around 1.5 times in weight compared to an Indian one.

There’s a Yahoo!News article about how a bull elephant died after getting injured by a Bengal tigress. One of the most viewed videos online is a small clip where a tiger attacks the person sitting on an elephant. Notice how the tiger completely ignores the elephant!


Tiger/Lion and Buffalo:
The tiger wins a point here. It’s extremely rare for a single lion to take down a Cape Buffalo. The tigers frequently prey on Gaur and Asian Water Buffalo, both of which are much bigger than the Cape Buffalo. The Gaur is the largest of the major species of wild oxen and has a superb muscular built. It can stand more than 6′ at shoulder and weigh more than a ton. This journal paper by John Singh indicates that Gaur falls into regular prey category of tigers. A Gaur had reportedly been killed and dragged by a tiger whereas 13 men could not move the carcass!

50%-50% Lion / Tiger Breed

Half Lion (Father), Half Tiger(Mother) – The Liger

A “liger” is the result of breeding a male lion with a female tiger. It often has a mane like a lion, and stripes and spots. The spots are inherited from its lion father, even though adult lions are not visibly spotted. Ligers make the sound of both a lion and a tiger, although their roar tends to sound more like a lion’s.



The liger is probably the largest cat in the world, usually bigger than either of its parent species. At an average weight of 900 pounds, ligers can be twice the size of male Siberian tigers, the largest non-extinct naturally occurring member of the cat family.
Photobucket

Half Tiger (Father), Half Lion(Mother) - The Tigon

Rarely, a “tigon” will be born to a tiger father and a lion mother. Tigons look similar to ligers, but are not nearly as large. The lifespans of ligers and tigons, like most hybrids, are shorter than those of naturally occurring species. All know instances of tiger–lion interbreeding have been in captivity: the two species naturally overlap only near the Gir Preserve in Bangladesh, and even then the big cats would be unlikely to mingle.

Now we know lion + tiger = liger or Tigon..There are other type of cross-breed :

Zebra + horse = zorse
killer whale + dolphin = wholphin

Liger = hybrid of Lion + Tiger

Tiger versus Lion (Who is stronger?)

Question:
為何老虎是百獸之王而獅子是萬獸之王?

照常理來看獅子跟老虎根本生長在同一地區
也不會有打架的問題發生

有人說獅子有鬃毛看起來比較威猛
老虎看起來就不威嗎?

請幫我解答一下


Answer:獅虎之間的直接比較

 獅子

專家認為,雄獅的戰鬥力在貓科動物中是獨一無二的。

因為獅子就是為了打鬥而進化而來的。。在獅群中,雄獅的主要職責就是和其他入侵雄獅戰鬥,並保護自己的部落。因此,雄獅一生中是要交戰無數的。大自然也因此為雄獅創造了條件:那厚厚的鬃毛就是為了加強防禦力以及對敵人產生威嚇而形成的。。

在和虎的戰鬥時,雄獅還有整個部落作為後盾。不過一般來說,保衛部落實雄獅的職責,所以在這種打鬥中,母獅一般是不會助陣的。。

動物馴化員Dave Hoover有一次說:“獅子才是最可怕的,也是最容易製造麻煩的。一般人家都認為虎更可怕,因為其長得更凶,更狡猾。其實不然。雄獅有著很強的自尊,因為它是所有獅子的領袖,直到自己被打敗為止。等等(其餘的和實力無關,翻譯省。)”






有史以來,虎對獅子還是充滿了警惕性的,這也給很多動物園和馬戲團造成了很多不便。

著名馴獸師Clyde Beatty曾因和40多隻獅虎同住一籠裏而出名,引用他的話:

我可以說出幾起虎痛打獅子的事例,但是每一次,虎都是有很明顯的客觀優勢的。我還可以說出另一次,虎有著明顯的客觀優勢但最後輸掉了爭鬥。獅子根本就不怕虎。。

和獅虎同坐,獅子看起來神態安然;虎呢,則比較緊張和焦躁。 也許就是因為虎的這種性格,所以才會和獅子打鬥中處於下風。。

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``

Beatty回想起一隻叫“蘇丹一世”的獅子,它幾乎打敗了所有它遇到過的虎。

它的表現太棒了,太精彩了,自我和巨獸們一起巡迴演出以來,絕無僅有!它所擊敗的全是貨真價實的虎,而不是什麼軟骨頭。它就想一個出色的拳擊手,總是可以使對手撲空,然後猛烈的一擊將早已失去平衡的對手打飛過整個擂臺。

Clyde Beatty的一個很出名的電影“The Big Cage”,講的是一個面臨破產的馬戲團。裏面他的演出引發了一場驚人的搏鬥,同時也在電影記錄中。。

在故事中,Beatty在馴化貓類動物,並延續著“節目無論如何都要繼續下去”的傳統。而私底下,他甚至也承認了既使自己也沒有辦法分開扭打在一切的動物,最後獅子還是把虎咬死了。

50年以來,人們一直認為那一幕不過是電影中的一幕而已,而現在已經被認可為被記錄下來的真實的虐殺過程了。。

虎作為獵食者,一般來說是沒有對手的,它們討厭打鬥。作為獨居者,捲入打鬥是下下策,如果受了傷,那可就要挨餓了。。

這就是獅虎打鬥的dvd,封面照片:

翻譯自看過的網友的說法:

該dvd有3場獅虎打鬥:非洲獅對孟加拉虎(非洲獅贏);非洲獅對西伯利亞虎(西伯利亞虎贏);亞洲獅對蘇門答臘虎(亞洲獅贏)

另,這dvd還有其他的血腥打鬥:獅子對6只牛頭獒; akita vs GSD ,Pit bull vs. cougar, grizzley bear vs tiger and 5 more.

某大陸朋友親身說明:跟大家分亨我的一個親身經歷:

幾年前有一天下午動物園快關門時,園裏幾乎沒遊客了,在當時的福州西湖動物園,我們幾個朋友想試試獅子和老虎哪個更威,乘著管理員不在我們砍了一根竹竿,先是去捅老虎。它立馬往後退,也沒吼叫,它老往後躲,根本捅不著它,從頭到尾都沒朝我們吼。


到了獅子籠前,竹竿才伸進去,還沒捅到獅子,好傢伙、一聲大吼嚇了我們一大跳,差點把竹竿嚇掉了,我們不由自主後退了一步,即便隔著大鐵籠也會令人感到害怕。定了定神,我們接著捅獅子,我們越捅它越吼。我們越用力,它吼的越大聲,它從沒有後退一步。那一聲聲吼叫,令我們的心怦怦直跳,真的有一種強烈的感覺獅子好象就要破門而出。我真的覺的若有誰在平原遇到獅子,還沒被它咬,已經被它的怒吼聲嚇死。真的!你們可能沒我有這種機會試試獅子的怒吼。可惜啊!大家平時聽的獅子吼只能算它打哼哼,真正發威的怒吼是根本沒機會看到的。


特別要說明一下:我們當時砍的是細竹竿,捅的一頭有細枝的,捅到動物身上絕不會痛的,其時根本不能算捅啦,頂多只能算搔擾它。因為我們可沒獅虎稀有,真要捅傷了它,我們幾個可要去吃公家飯了。所以我覺的獅和虎打架誰厲害我沒見過也不知道,若要論誰更有英雄氣概,誰更有大無畏精神,如果你相信我的經歷你就會有確定的答案了。


所謂獸中之王,何為王,自然界從來都是相生相剋的,哪有包吃的。唯有獅子最無畏懼,勇往直前,這一點是我親自試過才知道的。其時當時我們把猛獸區那一排動物都搔擾過了,唯有獅子嚇的我們腳發軟心發慌。所以我下結論:所謂王者,大無畏也。

時下最受日本小孩歡迎的百獸大戰遊戲卡,於7月27日在美麗華華漾餐廳舉辦「百獸大戰 王者爭霸」宣傳記者會,活動由縱橫公關公司承辦。開場以小孩表演熱鬧逗趣的百獸舞展開序幕,更邀請到藝人蝴蝶姊姊擔任主持,現場透過開放遊戲機試玩,盼達到最大宣傳效果。

 縱橫公關客務服務部專員曾淑婷表示,公司負責的部分是活動策劃和流程,大約費時一個半月的時間策劃。由於這款遊戲是百獸,因此設計主題與動物相關,活動以裝扮成動物的小孩跳百獸舞開場,加上鎖定的目標對象是兒童,因此公司特別邀請深受小孩喜愛的藝人蝴蝶姊姊主持,透過與小孩子的互動,以輕鬆方式慶賀「百獸大戰 王者爭霸」遊戲引進台灣市場。另外曾淑婷也指出,活動有達到公司的預期評估效果,整體來說還算滿意。現場也請小舞者和show girl為大家示範遊戲機的使用方法,記者會結束後,主辦單位開放多台遊戲機供貴賓與媒體試用Photobucket
