 Lets talk Lions fighting Tigers one on one - forget social behaviour of a group for a sec. Lions have mane and are taller - 4 feet. Tiger is 3 feet tall and has no mane. This is a key difference - Lions fore quarters are bigger and stronger and more adapted to fighting. Tigers hind legs are stronger and is more adapted to hunting. They have more leaping power. Tigers have 4 inch canines and Lions 3-3 1/2. This doesn't make a big difference in a fight unless able to get a throat bite, which the lion is more experienced in. This makes a difference only with pray. Their claw sizes are the same. Lions have much more skills acquired for fighting. Tigers have more skills acquired for hunting. Lions are much more aggressive and willing to fight while tigers can be aggressive but are not as willing to fight. Tigers are bigger and heaviour on an average by 70 pounds if you compare largest of cats. African Lions and Bengal tigers weigh almost the same. Size could make a difference if its all muscle which is not always the case. Tigers have thicker hide which could contribute for weight. With the African heat, a lion has little fat in its body. Facts aside, lets sit down for the real fight: Female lioness vs Female tiger: I think generally a female lioness is taller but smaller than a tigeress. Tigeress is gonna be apprehensive about the lionesses presense but not the lioness. In my opinion, lack of mane on the lioness and brute force of the tigress will give an edge to the tigress. Prolonged fight can result in death but is highly unlikely. Both are likely to respect each other. Male Lion vs Male Tiger: Lion with stronger forequarters is taller and slightly smaller if its a Siberian tiger else almost the same and would be bigger if its any other kinda tiger. Tiger with its stronger hind legs, has instinct to stand up on its hind legs and unleash paw swipes. But the key in this fight is aggression. Male lion is far superior with fighting skills and is far more aggressive. Lion has stronger paw swipe but cannot stand as tall as a tiger. Sheer brute force from the Lion will give him the advantage in this fight. In this fight, its unlikely that the fight would stop like with the females, and most likely will result in tigers death. Having said all this, this fight would be between a real male African lion in its prime(4-5 year old) defending its kingdom and a bengal tiger in its prime of the similar age. Also, mind that there can be exceptions. There are videos on the internet that are hugely biased and one has to remember that these are not real jungle cats. These are brought up in the zoo and lack many skills we talked above and would most likely not survive in the wild. ...

 well i know that tigers would probably win like most of the time considering the statistics. i think the fairest fight we could accumulate would be between a bengal tiger and a barbary lion. bengal tigers have shown more ferocity, and are the second largest subspeciea of tiger, as well as the most populated. and barbary lionss although extinct in the wild are the largest subspecies of lion. but tigers are still larger. bengal tigers average around 2.6-3.7m long and around 0.9-1.1m tall at the shoulder and weigh around 400-500+lbs. a barbary lion is around 2.3-3.3m long, 1.2m tall to the shoulder and average 330-450+lbs. tigers have an estimated bite force of around 1,000-1,200lbs, lions around 937lbs. lions are recorded to reach speeds of 30-35mph, tigers 35-40mph and even up to 50mph in the snow! also tigers can jump 15ft high & 33ft long. lions 8-11ft high and around 20-25ft across. so i'd like your opinions but i rekon a tiger has about a 60-80%win rate.& its voted worlds fav anima ...

 Hi. I'm from Russia. My cousin brother, worked for a circus company for living. He was in charge of making full grown siberian tigers play tricks and he claimed to be an expert in tiger training. However, a terrible tragedy occurred few days back. My cousin brother was making some few siberian tigers jump through rings of fire, for the entertainment of the audience. When he instructed the 5th siberian tiger to jump through the ring of fire, the tiger instead ATTACKED my cousin brother by jumping on him. The tiger weighed 320 kg (about 700 lbs). And my cousin brother suffocated under the massive weight in no time. But the tiger continued hitting my cousin brother's head with his paws even though he was dead. The rescue arrived quickly, but my cousin brother was pronounced dead. He was 37, and leaves behind 2 children and wife. My question is why did this siberian tiger attack circus handler cousin? He was given good food and well taken care of. ...
