They actually aren't kings of the jungle. That is a very common misconception and a very common mistake people make.

Lions do not live in jungles. They live in grasslands and savannahs. Therefore they are not actually kings of the jungle.

If you shaved all the fur off a Lion and a Tiger how would you tell them apart?

Tiger's have striped skin, no really, they do. Lion's will go bonkers over a bag of Catnip (herb), whilst Tiger's will just not be interested. Strange but true.

Could you please tell a fight between a lion and a tiger?

1 day in India,Asia,a male Bengal Tiger left his family,and is looking for a mate. In a very bad mood,a male Asiatic Lion was looking for a tiger to eat. Both the Tiger and the lion were Brave(not scared). The lion and Tiger found each other,they roared and snarled at each other,they both didin't want to fight. (Actually,they did want to fight,they were just planning their attacks). The Tiger knew it was 4:00 AM in the morning,it was trying to scare the Lion beacuse it wanted to avoid the fight so it would find a mate. The lion was FURIOUS,and attacked the Tiger. It missed! The Tiger was 100% Angry and bit the lion's back leg! Then,it let go. The lion bit the Tiger's front leg! The Tiger was 1,000,000,000,000,000(1 Quadrillion)% FURIOUS! It bit the lion's throat! The Lion was injurd. The Tiger bit the throat for 1.....2.......3.......4! The lion is killed! The tiger got out of the ruins and went back into the Rain Forest.

Which is correct YouTube fights or captive fights?

People says that youtube fights appear lion winning but they are not how it should be. Read this answer so you will see which is correct. People think that in youtube you simply edit the film.In popular fight called Gir forest people think 2 things, it was made to a film and that fans of lion edited it. But fans of tiger edited it as much as fans of lions.Some youtubers suggest that a tigress (males) fought 4 male lions. This isn't true. I have an account there and the fight was without human intervention. The film was biased on tiger hunt and a person holded a camera to show the tiger being hunted or poached. The hunters chased a group of tigers so far away( aprox. 100 miles) and hunted so many striped monsters( tiger nickname in that time) that only one was left. By an accidend, they didsn't know that, but they chased asiatic lion to the same "pit" where both met. The scenes where the tiger bited the lion by mane and pulled it down was played more than once.The same face of tiger was on the sa,me time, but from different places so people thought that the tiger pulled lion on the ground ,many times. Now captive. The most obvious thing is, The tiger usually wins with a lion in that fight. I tell you why those two fights are so different in wins. In the wild the lion faces many natural enemies and even themselves. The lion is well-skilled fighter and very aggressive . conclusion, people think that there is something wrong in those fight but there is no. The fights are simply done between wild animals which are more aggressive and the lion then wins. The captive fights are wrong because, The lion in captivity doesn't face much opponents which he has to do to keep the form of king of beasts.Of course I will tell you why the same thing happen to tigers. Tigers in both "worlds" are not very aggressive and skilled fighters.But, there is good and bad thing to add there. The bad is, the fights are fantastic ( unreal) and the good thing is, you saved your tigers from being dead. A lion will win with any sized tiger. There was a report than new animals were putten into a zoo but the tiger escaped. Next day, they found a dead tiger with a big wound around his throat. The answer was, the lion killed the tiger using throat bite.The lion obviously retained his crown as king of the beasts.

How can you tell the difference between the great white shark and a tiger shark?

A great white is white on the stomache and is relatively bigger than Tigers. A tiger sharks head is squarish but rounded on the corners. A tiger also has patterns on them that some say look like leopard print. I hope this helps :-)


Could a lion defeat a tiger?

That question was a problem since Romans.However archeologists never find out who won. The most common thing is that people think tiger is the winner but somehow lion got this crown. There are some crazy people saying lion is king tiger god.Thats funny , no one in the world know that title so how is this a title? It is just a imagination in someone head who thought tiger is the god.Lions not for nothing got a huge status in human imagination. Lions always fight to end and to make some films people need as much as 3-5 tigers vs 1 lion.To make the film called Big Cage they needed 4 Male Bengal tigers and they were beaten one after another. Tigers in that film were all beaten and director of Big Cage still didn't see tiger winning. He decided to cut out lion killing , defeating and dominating tigers and not only HE chased that lion into cage but said that it was A tigress who chased lion. This was the biggest lie in history. Lions have almost no chance to loose with a tiger .A famous tiger EXPERT Kailash Sankhala Story of the Indian tiger 1977 page 119 says a lion would beat a tiger. The tiger MIGHT have a chance to get out of this flair.Tigers because they live in deep jungles they are more flair and can swift out somehow and escape.lion wouldn't chase it, after 300 yards it will assume dominant posture.As tigers are heavier they are slower. In some fights tiger has only 2-4 hits or bites and they already get beaten. It'll took about 3-5 tigers to defeat a male lion.It IS not true that it is myth that lions are better fighters.Lions fight almost everyday for food.Territory fights are rare because tigers and lions territory can cover almost 130 kilometers squared. Now of cat experts and reporters will always appear lion as a king and champion fighter. Lions have 75-95% chance to dominate Bengal tiger.I was surprised to watch some films and videos and i will tell that when male lion takes serious he an bring 700 kg buffalo in seconds.
