The cheetah is the fastest land animal. It's top speed is frequently given as about 70 miles per hour, while the lion's top speed is in the neighborhood of about 40 miles per hour.

The lion is only capable of a short burst of speed, and it is the females that are the fastest of the lions. The cheetah is not capable of sustaining its top speed for very long. Probably less than a minute. But its 0-70 acceleration time is under three seconds!

Wikipedia has more information, and a link is provided.
Cheetahs are the fastest land animal. They are faster than lions, or anything else, for a short distance or period of time. After a burst of speed, which they usually use to catch game, they are exhausted. They have no endurance.
Cheetah. Isn't it obvious? The cheetah is the fastest animal in the world and they can run around 97km per hour. The lion is fast but it only runs up to 60km per hour. Hope this helps! (;

Well, it depends. If it is one on one, then OBVIOUSLY the lion wins.

If it's a wolf pack against a small pride of lions, then there is a 50% chance that the lion will win.


It's because the cat family, which lions belong to, don't need to live together and work together, just like house cats.


But the dog family, which wolves belong to, need each other to survive, to encourage, to take care for, just like house dogs need humans.


So in this situation, the percentage of the lion winning, falls down, because of what I just explained to you.

It would probably be a tie. Lions have been known to run at 50 miles per hour for short distances, about the speed on a good horse.

The lion can run over 50 mph for short distances and is ranked about the 5-6th fastest land animal on earth. The tiger does not even rank in the top 25.

Who can run faster a tiger or a leopard?

No, because lions are more compact and not as streamlined as the tiger. The lion has a big mane which slows it dow, but a tiger is more narrow while running.Lions can reach speed up to 40 miles per hour.A mane is protective fur.Discovery channel said that a lion is talle, longer AND faster.A tiger takes the prey by an ambush and one lioness chases zebra, antelope, whatever they chooses as a prey,and chase it to another lioness.This way lions are faster than tigers.


Which is quicker a tiger or lion?

Some people think that, because the tiger is heavier, it would be slower than the lion. But this is a ridiculous theory. You see, the cheetah is heavier than the gazelle, but the cheetah is still faster. This is because the cheetah is built for speed. it's legs can move faster, and it is more narrow and streamlined. This is also true for the tiger and lion. Tigers are more streamlined than lions, and their legs can move faster and are stronger. Plus, the lion's mane slows it down, not because the mane is heavy (because it isn't) but because the mane adds resistance and takes away from how smoothly the animal can run.


Who is faster zebra or tiger?

The Tiger is faster and more agile.


Who are the strongest lion or tiger?

A lot of people will say lion , however they are wrong because they are just stupid lion fans that know nothing about a tiger's advantages. The tiger will win because it is stronger! heavier, more agile, bigger, has longer canines, is a better fighter, is smarter, and is not lazy and waits for females to hunt. Tigers rule and lions are no sicken beans
