The cheetah is the fastest land animal. It's top speed is frequently given as about 70 miles per hour, while the lion's top speed is in the neighborhood of about 40 miles per hour.

The lion is only capable of a short burst of speed, and it is the females that are the fastest of the lions. The cheetah is not capable of sustaining its top speed for very long. Probably less than a minute. But its 0-70 acceleration time is under three seconds!

Wikipedia has more information, and a link is provided.
Cheetahs are the fastest land animal. They are faster than lions, or anything else, for a short distance or period of time. After a burst of speed, which they usually use to catch game, they are exhausted. They have no endurance.
Cheetah. Isn't it obvious? The cheetah is the fastest animal in the world and they can run around 97km per hour. The lion is fast but it only runs up to 60km per hour. Hope this helps! (;

Well, it depends. If it is one on one, then OBVIOUSLY the lion wins.

If it's a wolf pack against a small pride of lions, then there is a 50% chance that the lion will win.


It's because the cat family, which lions belong to, don't need to live together and work together, just like house cats.


But the dog family, which wolves belong to, need each other to survive, to encourage, to take care for, just like house dogs need humans.


So in this situation, the percentage of the lion winning, falls down, because of what I just explained to you.

It would probably be a tie. Lions have been known to run at 50 miles per hour for short distances, about the speed on a good horse.

Who can run faster a tiger or a leopard?

No, because lions are more compact and not as streamlined as the tiger. The lion has a big mane which slows it dow, but a tiger is more narrow while running.Lions can reach speed up to 40 miles per hour.A mane is protective fur.Discovery channel said that a lion is talle, longer AND faster.A tiger takes the prey by an ambush and one lioness chases zebra, antelope, whatever they chooses as a prey,and chase it to another lioness.This way lions are faster than tigers.


Which is quicker a tiger or lion?

Some people think that, because the tiger is heavier, it would be slower than the lion. But this is a ridiculous theory. You see, the cheetah is heavier than the gazelle, but the cheetah is still faster. This is because the cheetah is built for speed. it's legs can move faster, and it is more narrow and streamlined. This is also true for the tiger and lion. Tigers are more streamlined than lions, and their legs can move faster and are stronger. Plus, the lion's mane slows it down, not because the mane is heavy (because it isn't) but because the mane adds resistance and takes away from how smoothly the animal can run.

A lot of people will say lion , however they are wrong because they are just stupid lion fans that know nothing about a tiger's advantages.

Tigers rule and lions are no sicken beans

Who will win in a fight between 2 wildebeests and a Siberian tiger?

It depends on the size and speed of the Siberian tiger, and the weight, size, and health of the 2 wildebeests. The Siberian tiger is stronger, heavier, and longer than a lion although a lion can run faster than a tiger. Wildebeests can injure lions by hitting them with their horns or kicking them with their hooves, which makes them quite dangerous. 2 wildebeests can kill a lion by charging at it and goring it to death in the head. For a Siberian tiger, 2 wildebeests can have a chance to win if they did not run away from the tiger. Running away from the Siberian tiger will provoke the siberian tiger to charge and bring down the wildebeest as the other one escapes.
