Answer 2

Reliable Answer: (See list of sources below) Both of these animals are powerful and fierce carnivores. But scientists say that in a fight between a Bengal tiger and an African lion, there is a 90% chance that the tiger will win. It is a well-known fact that tigers are the biggest cats in the world. Not only this, but tigers are noticeably more muscular, and better fighters. It is actually a myth that lions are better fighters than tigers, because tigers compete with eachother for territory just as much as lions fight for a pride. Tigers also have experience fighting with many animals; Bengal tigers can easily kill large crocodiles and black bears, and Siberian tigers have been known to attack and kill huge adult brown bears. Tigers have been noticed as better fighters because they are more swift, agile, feirce, and have better eye-coordination. They have a stronger jaw force and paw-swipe. However, it is not true that tigers have longer fangs than lions. The skulls of these two cats have been compared, and usually their canines are about the same. The term "King" comes from the fact that a lion's mane looks like a crown, and the fact that they rule a pride. A lion's mane can offer it protection from bites to the neck. This is especially helpful when facing hyenas, which have a very deadly bite. However, a tiger will not always go for the lion's neck, but instead will usually attack it's limbs, eyes, head, and face. And the difference between the two cats' lifestyles adds on to which is more intelligent: Living a solitary life results in the tiger being more cunning. The tiger also hunts larger prey than the lion. The largest prey that lions hunt is the african buffalow, a species of african cattle. Tigers, however, are exelent at hunting guar, which is the largest type of cattle in the world. There are also differences in the way the two animals fight. Lions tend to stand on three legs, and use one paw to fight. Tigers normally balance on their hind legs and use both front paws to fight, giving them a huge advantage. Tigers also use "trickery", keep their heads back, and use well thought-out moves when fighting, while lions are known for blindly charging. Another important feature in how well the animals fight is the way their bodies are built. Lions are built more stiffly than tigers, and their bodies are more compact. Lions sometimes appear more muscular in the forelimbs, but tigers simply have more fur covering their muscles, so they are harder to see. Tigers also have more flexible muscles then lions. The lion DOES have an advantage though: courage. Lions are braver, and less likely to back down from a fight. There have been reports of tigers submitting to lions when they meet in reserves, so they can avoid injury. But if the lion refuses to leave the tiger alone, than the tiger is probably going to end up victorious. Within the Bengal tiger scientists found a most disturbing ferocity. When it comes to the decision to fight, this cat attacks violently, most often winning in any fight against a lion. In the end, the tiger's agility and accuracy comes out on top. 80% of experts agree that the tiger is the dominate cat. But not only National Geographic reporters say so. There are many polls on the internet where people can vote on who they think would win, and one can see that many more people bet on the tiger than the lion. SOURCES: National Geographic, Discovery Channel, PBS nature. * Animal Planet tried to prove that the lion was a better fighter, but they eventually submitted to National Geographic, which is a bigger company. They admitted to National Geographic that they simply perfered lions over tigers. _____________________________________________________________________

The youtube "fights" that appear to show a lion winning, are not what they appear. In one, a tigress has a male lion in a death grip before the animals are broken up by a high pressure hose. Another, the "Gir Forest" fight, was a complete sham. In it, a lion appears to kill a smallish tiger or tigress, but in the extended version of this video, the tiger gets up and yawns and strolls away. This fight was supposed to be in the wild, but could not have happened because the Gir forest is over 100 miles from tiger country. One can find about anything on that site, and there are many videos of tigers defeating lions. If both animals are of the same age, and weight, the tiger will win nearly every time. Tigers are superior fighters, the myth that tigers just hunt and lions fight just isn't so. A male lion may have to defend his turf maybe ten times over the course of a lifetime, but male tigers fight over turf and mates every year. With two or more males in a lion pride, their fight ratio goes down even more. When I was working with these cats, three times had we fights between them, and the tiger was winning in two, in the other, an adult male lion was chasing a two year old tiger around before we got them apart .

Answer 3

Both of them are equally dangerous. Both lions and tigers are large and powerful carnivores. Both of them can easily kill a human. They are both built to kill and hence, it would be dangerous to go near either of these beasts

Answer 4

Both big cats can kill a human very easily, but historically tigers have killed more humans than lions. Both are sometimes maneaters, and both have racked up large numbers of human victims. The Tsavo lions halted the building of a railroad in Uganda in the late 19th century, killing over 135 people, and the tigress of Champawat killed 436 people before she was brought down. Tigers are less trustworthy in captivity too, having attacked their trainers or handlers more often than lions have.

Answer 5

Both lions and tigers are fierce predators in their own right, but tigers are generally considered to be more ferocious and have been known to exhibit higher levels of aggression towards prey and other animals. Tigers are also solitary hunters and their stealth and power make them formidable apex predators.

Answer 6

The lion is braver. Tigers had bee found submitting to lions in reserves.
