tiger vs. lion

[cockey cockney]

One of my teachers in my school days, did first hand research on this topic and found that the tiger wins 9/10 times.

[The_One77]

i thought it was 70%

I thought it was 71%

[babyboNe]

i seen so many videos of tiger vs lion fights now...most of them aRe bia's videos of the lion winning to secure its the KING of the jungle...but those where made decades ago..in some fights the tigeress are handy capped...one tRaineR puts some eye drops or sumthing on the already smaller tigeress before sending it in the lions cage to fight the male lion...and when the lion is pinned down...the handlers interfere to save the lion...and den sends a new lion to finish the already tiRed tigeRess...its so sad...the tRueth behind those videos now...

IM A FAN OF ALL BIG CATS!!!!!!!!!
but im just saying wut i see...THE TIGERS WON THOSE FIGHTS REALLY...most of them aRe fights between small female tigers versus huge male lions...but still the tigers won...they neveR seem to put in a male tiger with just one male lion...when u see a clearly bigger male tiger its in with multiple lions..

okay lets look at it a different way...

tigers climb
lions don't
tigers leap high
lions don't
tigers can swim
lions can't
tigers can survive alone
lions can't
tigers are use to fighting by it self
lions aRen't
tigers compete with jaguaRs and panthers
lions compete with cheetahs and leapords
male tigers aRe biggeR
tigers have bigger teeth
lions don't
tigers have bigger claws
lions don't
tigers aRE moRe agile
lions aRen't
tigeRs succeed by itself
lions need numbeR for succees

male lions fight foR pRide
both male and female tigeRs fight foR territory

i dont' know anymoRe...maybe i'll come up with moRe lateR have a nice day

Tigers don't have to hold onto a pride fighting younger, more agressive males every season..........
Lions do.

tigeRs battle other tigers for hunting territory whats the difference and they do it one on one...not like a pride male leader with the help of some females against 3 or 4 young male lions

Lions hunt Buffalo and wildabeast......animals that have the ability to trample or gouge you to death. Lions contend with packs of Hyenas....animals that have some of the most pwerful jaws on the planet.

yah lions do hung buffalo and wildabeast...but with a pride can't do it on theiR own though...hyenas can bite hard but way to small for both lion and tiger one on one hyenas don't stand a chance...


and How do you figure tigers to be more agile??

i just list them before u replied

Jaguars and Panthers are smaller than Lions or Tigers by the way and since when can Lions not climb?

yes they are smaller then lions and tigers...but a jaguar is like a leapord on steriods and a panther would easy wipe out a cheetah...my point on that is lions leapord and the cheetah won't compare against tigers jaguar and panthers match them up the tigers jaguar and panther would win one on one agains africans lions leapord and cheetah...as for the lions not able to climb yes...they aREn't as well climbers as tigers...i've only seen one female lion be able to climb and it was a stuck cat...it couldn't climb back down it slip and died




I like all animals but the Lions would win this.

The size difference is not enough to compensate for the fighting experience of most male lions. There life is extremely brutal and more often than not.....ends at the claws and teeth of other males. They are born fighters.

a male tiger weights about 50 to 150 pounds more then a lion...the crater lion which is the biggest of all lions average about 400 to 450 pounds the biggest recorded male tiger average to 500 to 600 pounds...in the animal kingdom SIZE matters...in all cases the tiger is bigger meaning stronger...tiger has bigger fangs bigger paws and claws

for the record of all who does argue about lions live more tougher lifes...

lions do fight other younger male lions seasonly...but wut is he doing when his not fighting them...snoring thats wuts his doing...sleeping and eating and thats about it...as for the tiger he is constantly exploring the world...he climbs trees and anytime is prepare to fight another tiger off because it can happen any moment...a tiger is also known to swim from one island to another...tigers exercise themselfs moRe...and at the sad side they aRe still being hunted and killed by pouchers...they aRe shot and killed for theiR bones and beatifull furs...no arguement left lions don't live moRe violent lifes...the only dangerous time is when a male lion is challenge by a group of young male lions...keyword for lions is group...they aRe not use to fight one on one...a known lone lion is a dead lion...thats why they live in prides... TIGERS WIN

THE TWO KNOWN WORLDWIDE SUPERIOR ANIMALS ARE FIRST THE DRAGON SECOND THE TIGER...THE DRAGON IS A MYTH THOUGH TIGERS ARE REAL...

[means2184]

that tiger fighting the lion in the clip is a baby tiger or a very small female...tigers ARE bigger than lions ...and that tiger was SALLEr than the lion ...but lions do fight more ....but all those facts about tigers is true .....

TIGERS WIN

Dragons and Tigers.........I smell a little eastern influence here....... Good old chinese astrology .

Actually I am a Leo who was born in the year of the Tiger so it makes little difference to me who would win. I am just going by facts and I still don't see any that point to the tiger winning.

and to answer your question about what male lions do.....they hunt when they don't belong to a pride. These males are called nomads and they wonder the plains tearing through just about anything that gets in their way. It is part of their rite of passage. and yes, they tear through animals that outweigh them by more than 150-200lbs. When they bolong to a pride, they still fight with other males over border disputes.
I've heard it again and again that Tigers, while stong and big, are more reclusive animals than Lions. Tigers are awesome hunters, but I don't think that they are agressive as male Lions. Size only makes so much of a difference here. Same with dogs.
If you put a pit bull against a rot weiler, the pit bull will take the rotweillers down most of the time. Even though he is
way way smaller. Same goes for the pit and most other dogs with maybe the exception of the Tosa Inu.

Please don't get me wrong.....I don't advocate pitting animals against one another (unless they wear gloves ) but I am stating what I have seen and read and heard in the past.
To say that the Tiger has a more brutal life than the Lion is crazy.


As far as the 2 known superior animals being the dragon and the tiger ...(we'll skip the dragon argument) I think that the Grizzly bear would shred a Lion, Tiger, Liger or any other land dwelling animal to pieces..............and the killer whale beats them all!

yes i know those male lions are called nomads...yes they wonder along untill they conquer a pride of their own...yes they take down animals 150-200lbs...but heres the keyword GROUP...we are talking about one on one 1tiger vs 1lion...lions always need other lions to succeed...lion never fight without other lions backing them up...the male pride leader is back up by his female lioness...and those nomads, back eachother up...and its not like they always fight right when a group of nomads sees a pride leader...a pride leader sometimes instantly scares off the crew of nomads...they can only detrone the pride leader if they stick together and terrify the females and kill the pride leaders...now like i said before, a lone lion is a dead lion...a lion need other lions to survive...one on one against a tiger the lion is already in a disadvantage due to the tiger all his life depends only on itself

personal experience...pitbulls will win against rotweiler most of the time...pitbulls are bred specifically to fight...rotweilers are to guard and bark...

and what makes u think tigers are less aggressive then lions...some tigers are known to be man eaters ...talk about aggression...look at it this way...if u live most of ur life anti social wouldn't u have inner aggression building inside u

Please don't get me wrong.....I don't advocate pitting animals against one another (unless they wear gloves ) but I am stating what I have seen and read and heard in the past.

no you've got it completely wrong i've been studing lions and tigers for years now...the reason for people who have claimed lions living more brutal life is because u see them more in t.v...showing them fight and hunt...you barely see tigers being recorded and the only time they are shown is when theiR beatifull strips and furs are being display while they run in the snow or blend in to the forest...TIGERS in the wild aRe extremely RARE now...they aRe BRUTALLY hunted and shot by pouchers...they viciously and instantly kill jaguars and panthers to minimize compition for food and fight other tigers they run into...and when food source get low...they aRe known to become man eaters


As far as the 2 known superior animals being the dragon and the tiger ...(we'll skip the dragon argument) I think that the Grizzly bear would shred a Lion, Tiger, Liger or any other land dwelling animal to pieces..............and the killer whale beats them all!

gRizzly beaR is a beast...but i wouldn't be so confident on the grizzly bear shredding apart a lion or a tiger...and no way a liger...a man who was once attack by a grizzly bear...killed the bear with a single daggar to the neck...ofcourse it took a while for the bear to bleed to death...and so did the man...both the beast and the man was found dead...sounds cRazy huh?...and also the wolf is known to make bears back off...from a bark of a wolf to a roar of a lion or a tiger i think the grizzly would rather walk by then get into conflicts...they stand up and show theiR size roar then leave...a tiger and a lion can kill a grizzly bear with a viciouse bite on the back of the neck...but a grizzly bear could kill a lion or a tiger if kept them infront of him...it'll would come down to how the fight happened...they may both end up dead due to injuries....

a killer whale thats not even a match...can't happen tigers can swim but can't fight underwater...and killer whales would be a sitting dinner for a gRizzly bear a lion or a tiger oR any land dwelling animal when out of the water ahahahah....

What the fock's a liger is that like a mix of the two How did they pull that one off I thought they would of ripped each other to pieces!!

Liger is a mix between the two it happens when kept in captivity, they have had a few that take place in the circuses. I only know cause when I was stationed in California we had a discussion and did some research. For the most part tigers would win, but tiger seldom try to kill each other while tiger kill each other to take over a pride. But still Tiger win from what I remember.

I've seen this experiment already put to the test by scientists in 2004....a female lion destroyed and tiger and put him int he corner...and the conclusion was because the female fights all the time, takes down bigger prey, where as the tiger only kills when necessary and relies on stealth to do that...

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

TiGGER... i mean TIGER wins

false...lioness don't compare against a tigress and no way against a huge male tiger...heres the thing people constantly forget...lions only are successfull hunters or successfull creatures because they rely on eachother...again and again a lone lion is a dead lion!!!!!...females do not fight all the time yes they do hunt all the time but together never alone...as for tigers...the tiger hunt kill and fight alone...and we aRE talkin about one on one...one tiger versus one lion...a tigeress kills both lioness and male lion...a fully adult enormous male tiger can take two male lions or a crew of nomads...

tigers aRe superior cReatures end of discussion...

Cool Click mate.....you argued for the same opinion is me, and did so well.

[rob7022000]

This is soooooooo confusing...this thread needs resolution....lets get Don King and Jose Suliman together...Give the lion the wbc belt and the tiger the ibf belt.

Then we can put gloves on them and have a unification bout.

Judging by the thread id say there's a market for this fight.

[BigMix27]

tigers are naturally bigger and the japanese have asctually put them in with one another, and it was the tiger who mostly won against the lion.
Ive got a couple of videos

can you upload those videos.

Didn't they already create a scenario on the old Discovery channel show called Animal Face-off where they put a Lion against a Tiger and a Brown bear against a Tiger.

First result: They came to the conlcusion that the Lion would win.

Second result: they came to the conclusion that the Brown Bear would win.

If you search for Animal Face OFF on the net you should find it.
