Who would win a fight Lion or Tiger???

[LongLived#24]

Just came across this wicked fight between a male lion and a male tiger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpiirtiPWu8



I would put my money on a lion because, they're more aggressive, male lions are born and built to fight and their main role is to protect his pride, hence having more fighting experience. Pus a Male lion has a mane to protect his neck from choke holds and also makes the lion appear larger and intimidating. Tigers on the other hand are more suited as a predator then a fighter. Although they are slightly heavier and slightly more agile, they lack the aggressiveness and experience in combat that a male lion possess. Keep in mind, tigers are also solitary cats, so their natural instinct would to avoid any sort of confrontation because fighting just spells out STARVATION. Because any sort of severe injury would spoil it's chances to hunt, while male lions can risk injuries because they have a pride to support and take care of males. Male lions don't hunt anyway, their only job is to protect the pride from other male lions or hyenas, the females usually do the hunting.

tigers fight better when they are hurt.

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

If its a female lion vs. tiger then it would be a real fight. The male lion is just lazy. All it does is sit underneath a tree and lets the female do all the work.

Hunting and fighting are two completely different things. Tigers are more suited to hunting then a lion because a tiger is faster and more agile, while Lions are more built to fight. For example Male lions only job is to fight off other males and hyenas and protect his cubs and his females, AKA the 'pride'. Tigers are solitary cats, thus usually avoiding any sort of confrontation with any other competition.

You are completely false, for starters Male lions usually weigh around 550 pounds, while bengal tigers weigh up to 570, and siberian tigers weigh around 600 pounds. Many scientists confirm siberian tigers weight have been over exaggerated and the bengal tiger may actually be even bigger. Also it is not a myth that lions are born fighters. Why do you think Lions have big manes to protect it's neck from choke holds? Also lions forequarters are stronger, hence more strength from it's paws. Lions also produce more testorone, hence higher aggressiveness. Tigers are more suited hunters, that's why the have stronger hindquarters for pouncing and leaping on prey and that's why they are more agile. Also in Roman Times Lions were victorious 9 out of ten times in the pit fights, which is why the Romans gave the lion the name 'King of Beasts'. Even the bible states this.
Okay. I think agility plays a big part in fights.

Nah I'm cool, I'm just trying to inform you which is the superior big cat of all. The Lion isn't called the 'King of beast' for nothing. But whatever Tigers are majestic creaures as well...

Wow, this video show me that tiger won the fight, tiger seems have more speed than Lion. I actually love Lion than tiger but damn.

Just because your a better hunter doesn't make you a better fighter. The male lion my appear lazy because he doesn't do anything but patrol and protect the pride's territory, but in reality he is the best fighter in the cat kingdom. He would more likely kill a tiger in a fight. The tiger may be a better hunter, but he doesn't have the fighting skills of the male lion.

btw, I knew this question would pop out.

[LongLived#24]

Sadly not, but back in Roman times, the Romans always put Lions and Tigers in pit fights in the colliseum and the Lion dominated the tiger, as a result the Romans gave the Lion it's rightful throne as the supreme King of all creatures. Even the bible states that the Lion is the 'King of Beast'

But I doubt the lion would stand a chance against a full grown male grizzly bear.

Oh please a Male Lion would absolutely destroy a grizzly bear, there's even a video of a Cougar owning and scaring away a big male Grizzly. And a cougar is less then half a Male Lion's size.

Depends on the size of the grizzly. If it was a full-grown male Alaskan grizzle (which can get as large as twice the size of a full grown lion) then I doubt the lion would stand much of a chance.

IMO, a more interesting an animal fight would be a T-Rex
vs. an Indricotherium

As the name suggests, the Liger is a combo of a lion and tigress. I think it would still get rapped by a male lion because apparently I've read it lacks in any aggression (despite being larger less aggression will still mean it could get owned by somebody smaller but much more aggressive).

[HighFlyer23]

A liger wouldn't stand a chance against a lion or tiger ... despite their size, they have weak muscles and brittle bones ... and since they are only bred in captivity they aren't as aggressive ...

How about a Spinasaurus Rex vs a T-Rex? They did show this fight in Jurassic park 3, but I would love to see a real fight between those two creatures.

Oh yeah I'm going with the lion to win 6/10 against a tiger ... only because male lions mostly just fight and don't hunt much, unlike a tiger, who has to do everything on its own and dosen't have the luxury of being part of a pride/group ... the mane also gives an advantage to the lion ...

[LongLived#24]

How about Lion vs Hyenas? They are natural enemies and have been enemies for ages. Male Lions especially have an extreme hatred for Hyenas, they are often observed hunting hyenas clans and killing them without eating them. And it's not always a matter of competetion for food, often Lions and Hyena's fight just because of their hatred towards one another. Hyena's and Lions are eternal enemies and are born with a hatred toward one another, you won't find any other rivalry between two amazing animals like a Hyena and a Lion.

Here is some footage of Lions vs Hyena's:

If it was in water then the croc would eaily win, because Lions are poor swimmers and have a natural hatred for water. On land the Lion would win 90% of the time because Crocs are too slow on land, and a lion is much too agile on land.

I've seen footage of a lioness attacking a croc on land and she really didn't do much damage at all ... the claws and teeth were kinda ineffective against croc hide ...

Well I'm not sure, but there have been some rare cases of lions killing crocs on land. Tiger and Leopards also have been seen preying on crocs.
