By Tigress4324: Well, you have to look at the shape of the cat's skull. The truth is, lion's and tiger's skulls have been compared, and they are very much alike, the difference is somtimes only noticable to experts. Lions have slightly longer skulls, and tiger's are wider. The wider the skull is, the more force will be applied to a bite. This is because the area of force is concentrated more, and not spread over a long length. This would give the tiger a stronger bite. Some animals with long skulls, such as crocodiles, have extremely strong jaws. BUT: crocodiles and cats are completely different animals. If you compare a shark with a croc, (the shark has a wider mouth, the croc's is longer) you will see that the shark's jaws are much stronger, thus supporting this law of bite-phisycs.
Shark bite is only 700Ib. Crocolides bite is 3000Ib.Sharks bite is 4 times weaker than crocodiles.
And there's more: if the fangs are placed farther into the skull, they will be in the jaws more firmly, and the animal's jaws will be stronger. ( a good example of this would be the hyena, which has a deadly strong bite.) Tiger's canine teeth are held father into the skull than lion's are. The result is that tigers have a stronger bite force than lions.

Is it true that a tiger hunt and don't fight and lion fight and don't hunt?
Well, yes and no You see a tiger fights with other males, and is not using neck bite, which he uses to kill his prey but when facing the lion, which is not a tiger neck bite is often used to try to kill it.
