I heard Siberian Tiger kills African Lion in seconds.

:confused:

Edit: I would still bet on the tiger to kill the lion though. Tigers are generally larger.

The tigress would win in all accounts. Lions are pack hunters while tigers are solo hunters. Female tigers are revered as the strongest fighter of all cats.

how the heck do you repost something as obscure as this within four hours of someone else? :)

Siberian Tigers typically weigh about 700lbs and are generally about 13ft from nose to tip. A male Lion typically weighs a little over half that, at about 400lbs, and they are generally about 9ft from nose to tip.

Female lions typically do all the hunting.

I imagine the male lion would be more ferocious, but I'd put my money on the tiger.

Read the link in this thread about tigers vs lions. Male lions win.

Considering I saw one link in that thread stating the contrary, and the author didn't state his/her qualifications to make that judgement, I'm going to stick to what I was told by a few zoologists at my university. It's impossible to determine as the two species would probably never go neck to neck, but the female tiger has the advantage over all others.

A female tiger could probably square off against everything short of a Kodiak or polar bear and win (hybrids excluded).


Lions are badass though. Anyone still have the link for that vid set to Prodigy? The one were the big male throws down with hyenas?
