A Lion Wins in Lion Versus Tiger Fight

Hello to all lion vs tiger fans, here are some reasons that attest that a male lion is a winner in 9 of 10 fights (comparing African lion to any type of tiger even Siberian tiger).

In a fight a tiger goes only for a neck bite or they always punch the face. A male lion has a mane which protect him from a neck bite and can dodge many swipes of a tiger just as mohhamed ali did it always!

A lion has the swipe technique too but with a difference. A lion's forelegs are much stronger than those of a tiger. Althought, a tiger may have more muscles in his back legs.

But the very important point is this: a lion tries not only to land some bites into the neck, but almost tries to bite over the back legs (spine), which immediately leads to invalidity of his opponent.

You can see this technique in many videos. Because of this, after some seconds the tiger retreats to save himself from injury to allow to to continue to hunt.

And now some facts about length, height and weight:

-- A wild Bengal tiger may reach up to 250 kg in the wild.

-- An african lion (male) can reach this too or even 270 kg in the wild.

Only the Siberian tiger can surpass an African lion in weight but this only due to a fat layer and not having more muscles.

-- There are African lions that have the same length as Siberian tigers.

-- And finally the height of an African male lion can only be surpassed by the Siberian tiger now and then.

In a fight between an African male lion and siberian tiger(male)the tiger has no stamina due to his weight consisted only on a fat layer.

After a few seconds it would try to retreat but if there is no way to escape it will be killed by the lion. Lions fight for almost more than 30 minutes. The heat of the African weather makes the lions more resistant and gives them higher Stamina.

Lion vs Tiger
by: Anonymous

People debate like crazy about lion vs tiger and state mostly only opinions. The truth of it is, no matter which way you slice it, tigers are more likely to win a fight one to one.
It's sad how people pit these animals together just to see who wins.
And this thing about average lions being four feet at the shoulder and average tigers being three feet at the shoulder i don't belive. All the pics i've seen of mature male amur tigers and african lions together the tiger is much taller.

Lion wins
by: Anonymous

Finally some sense being made. A lion almost always wins this is the reason the romans picked the barbary lion as their symbol of bravery and fighting ability. A lot of people get confused because the koreans and chines(and this is a fact I know i lived there) pit a large fed properly tiger against either an ill or undefed lion. This got the tiger some wins but It is hardly fair. Dont be fooled by eastern propaganda even sick and underfed lions won more than half the fights. It is also priven that a tiger will almost always retreat. As tigerpedia says plainly tiger fights are almost all bluff because if a tiger is injured even if it wins it loses.

Tiger kills lion in Turkish zoo

A Bengal tiger has killed a lion at Ankara Zoo after finding a gap in the fence separating their cages, say zoo officials in the Turkish capital.

The tiger severed the lion's jugular vein in a single stroke with its paw, leaving the animal dying in a pool of blood, officials said.

They denied local media reports that the tiger had broken down the fence during the incident last September.

The zoo says it is safe for visitors, despite the incident.

Six tigers and two lions remain at the zoo.

lion Size to siberian tiger
by: Soheil

hello,

here me again,

i have already mentioned some facts about lions size compared to the size of a tiger, specially siberian tiger.

Please see the following links and see what i already have written, that a male lion really could get larger than any tiger even siberian in length and height. if you have seen any tiger reaching this size yet please send me your link. The first link presents a white male lion.

Lion V/S Tiger Fight.
by: Rudolph.A.Furtado

Very interesting facts sohail, but, tragically both these big cats are facing extinction in their native habitats.I presume that within a decade the tiger might become extinct in its natural forested region of India which is the only country to still have a lion and tiger existing within its geaographical boundaries.Tha "Asiatic lion" of Gir Forests in India could be wiped out anytime if an epidemic sets in since they are confined to a single geographical location within India. As for the African lion, they are also facing habitata loss and extinction from certain regions. "Zoological Parks" seem to be the last resort of these beautiful cats.
