The Tiger

I cannot watch these videos. Whether a tiger or a lion wins in a tiger versus lion fight does not actually interest me but it does interest many people. There have been many discussions about this and I have quite a few pages on it myself on my main website. It does fascinate people because there is a kind of bloodlust within the human race which disturbs me and mystifies me actually. Image: MikeB RELATED:  LION VERSUS TIGER - LION WINS . In any case after that negative introduction, I present to you a genuine tiger versus lion fight. I've not watched it but I did watch tiny bits of it (freeze-frame) to see what happened. The outcome is what I would expect. In a poll that I ran many years ago it came out approximately that 50% of people think that a tiger would win such a fight and the remaining 50% take the opposite viewpoint. The tiger and lion are very evenly matched as you'd expect. However, the real experts tend to believe that the lion would win such a fight. And I think ...

A tiger can bite with a force of up to 1000 pounds per square inch. This is about 10 times more powerful than the bite of a human. The lion's bite is 600 pounds per square inch.  This video explains:- This information is important in only one respect really and that is the argument about who wins  in a lion versus tiger fight. The bite strength is only one factor, of course. There are many other factors such as the individual weight and size of the lion or tiger. Also, individual cats will vary in their personalities and aggression levels. Incidentally, tigers are generally larger and heavier than lions. The Siberian is the largest cat (excepting man-made hybrids such as the Liger) I have a page on the lion versus tiger debate which also contains links to many other contributions from visitors. In a long-running poll visitors voted marginally in favour of the lion. However, the argument is academic because these two top predators do not meet in the wild. They may meet i...

A lion won this fight but there is an endless discussion on the internet about who is the better fighter and who wins the lion versus tiger fight . It is very rare for a lion to fight a tiger and if they do it will probably occur in a zoo as happened in this case and very often the fight that you see is not a genuine fight but more just a skirmish with one cat batting the other. However, in this instance a lion killed a tiger at a zoo in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, South Korea.  A 5-year-old lion fell into a trench that was below his yard. He was trying to catch a chicken that the zookeeper had thrown to him. Next to the lion's pen was apparently a tiger cage and a 6-year-olf female tiger was able to jump into the trench. This seems to be an example of mismanagement by the zookeepers to me in allowing this to happen. In any event, although the lion and tiger were similar in length, the lion was a little heavier (by 20 kgs) on this occasion and the tiger when landing in th...
