"Lions are the boys and tigers are the girls."
"People used to live to be 900 years old."
Sorry about that.
The internet didn't exist yet and I hadn't seen a tiger in a while.
The "no mane" part started to confuse me as different species.
They also used to be able to fly, according to my dad, who was not happy with me when I laughed it off because I thought he was joking.
I think I laughed too, but it was the Sunday school teacher that shared that with me. I think that may have been the moment where little me learned that not all adults can be relied on for facts.
The female lions do kind of have a more tiger look. What with no mane.
I believed the first one when I was, idk, 6 years old. No idea if I assumed it myself or was told it from someone.
