What is the difference between a lion and tiger?

Answer 1

Lions have manes, and aren't striped. Tigers are striped.

Tigers is more agile, powerful, muscular, and longer than a lion. Tigers have a wider skull and longer teeth than lion, so they have more bite force. Tigers have heavier and more muscular legs and larger paws to attack enemies and prey.

AnswerThere are many people knowing worldwide that tiger is bigger. However, Frank Mendel, a famous cat expert, says the lion is longer. Reports do not support the notion that tigers are larger. The largest cat ever founded was a male American lion. American lions died about 10000 years ago, but archaeologists had rebuilt the skeleton of American lion, and by their surprise, American lion was bigger than any modern cat. It is true that modern tigers are biggest cats but possibly the biggest cat was American lion. Cave lions, however, were the size of a liger. some archaeologists, say that this lion or lioness could take on 700 kg bison by itself.

Since tigers are the biggest cat today, there could be skeletons of tigers, that are bigger than the skeleton of the American lion that they haven't found yet.
