They're just upset because this isn't a Racoon vs Opossum thread. Haters gonna hate!
Rajah that. It seems dumb and dumber are just butt-hurt that the one they chose there favy is being shown to be losing and losing pretty bad. Or why else would they keep coming back into the thread? Ha ha aha. Thats the whole thing, I would have had no problem agree-ing that the tiger is the superior cat if the data was there to prove it, I like them both pretty equally.
Yet, these mooks are the most biggest waste of time bias chumps you could ever debate with...like taking something such as wiki's credability as dire as a suicidal afgan bomber preaching his god. Like the fact that anyone who studys there attributes at-least on the basics would know they are
similar so similar that sometimes the tiger is bigger sometimes the lion, on weights of science, biology, an zoology records along with photographs as well. But no...you have mooks like these crybabys who flaunt out B.S bias lies that tigers are 2x bigger when they cant even provide just 10 pictures with
confirmation that they are the same age an same sex that would show a tiger actually 2x bigger. Ha ha haaa.. I mean not even slightly bigger because how can a tiger ever
look bigger, when he has a mane that can increase his own mass almost 2x fold an reach records of 900 pounds too quite easly in captivity by eating solitary in as do tigers do in the wild? XD Nope, they just find secoundary fan sites that cherry pick data comparing a obese tiger with a purposely small feeble lion an than B.s that, thats the average fight supposed to be. Ha!
Then when you do show a lion of same size, these fanatics cry an cry an make up wonderful lies like they interstellerly know there size averages an say oh thats a female tiger, or thats not a male tiger, or thats not a siberian thats a sumatrun XD XD
The truth hurts, an the facts remains that lions can grow just as big as any tiger an lions on
Average are the biggest living cat, while the tiger is
individually the biggest living pure speices cat. Thats the same implimention as Yao ming an the average asian, you cant say because yao ming is 7 foot tall an than claim asians are the tallest race. Even the best of debaters I've seen on subject havent provided with any confromational evidence a tiger bigger than a lion by any significant margin that would have me belive weight would be a leverage.
Even photographs are hard to distinguish whos bigger, an comparing lions and tigers when they are not in the exact same photo is one of the most idiotic things to be provide when even a 10 pound house cat can be made to look as big as a tiger if you blow up the picture or take the picture of the house cat being closer to the camera, thats called the distance effect, the same way a 4 foot person standing 2 feet infront of the camera can look taller than Shack Oneil if shack is farther away from the camera. Neck an Neck pictures would be the only ones to count, an yet out all the hundreds of thousands of pics of lions and tigers together with millions of people quote-ing wiki like sites, why cant they produce any pics of tiger substantially larger than a lion?....I mean they are dead sure that they know what the hell they're talking about, yet wheres the proof?
There is none, all we have are of lions and tigers in pictures who look akin in size department because like the records indicate, they weigh the same sizes too...
You can see in this movement that the siberian tiger looks slightly bigger, only due to the fact of the distance effect, the tiger is closer to the camera...
Now with the african lion closer the lion looks bigger...via=Distance effect.
On equal terms they look similar but the mane appears to still show on equal terms a lion will look bigger than a tiger reguardless that if its a siberian...

Even artist who calculate counter reality sizes of what they etch show lions mass look bigger in terms adult specimens.
Even without the mane lions look similar in size to a tiger...
