Can a tiger kill a bull?

Answer 1

Possibly, but in a natural world, a tiger would normally leave an animal alone that is capable of defending itself against it. A healthy bull defending his herd will most likely kill or maim the tiger before the tiger gets the chance to kill the bull.

Answer 2

It is possible, but the horse has a weight advantage of 1000-1400 pounds. A tiger usually weighs from 570-900 pounds depending on the species. However, a tiger would be able to take down an injured, tired, old, or a young horse.

Answer 3

One could if it wanted, even without a whole pride. Lions typically kill larger prey by bringing them down and biting the windpipe closed until it dies, if one managed to catch and take down a horse, this wouldn't be too difficult. Another issue is that horses, unlike donkeys and mules, choose to run more often than stand ground, this would activate the lion's sense to chase, decreasing a horse's chance of surviving unless it was lucky enough to land a well aimed kick, at least somewhere that would discourage, or even injure or possibly kill, the lion from trying to hunt the horse any further.

If the horse should choose not to run and actually challenge the lion, the outcome would be different, the big cat might even back down if intimidation doesn't scare the horse into doing so first. A horse stands taller than a lion, and rearing up would make it appear even larger.

Additionally, a kick right in the head would be very damaging to a lion, as giraffes, which have a stronger kick than horses, can kill a lion instantly by doing so.

Answer 4

It is likely that it can. A horse has hooves that could slice the tiger and cause serious lacerations to it.

Answer 5

that depends where the horse kicked the tiger

the head; possibly

the chest; possibly

the abdomen; unlikely

Answer 6

It's possible. But the tiger is native to small parts of Asia and although horses are found throughout the world, tigers and horses rarely meet.
