Who would win a lion or a tiger in a fight?

Answer 1

Tiger because dragons don't exist. Otherwise a dragon would win. /thread

well first of all it depends on what kind of dragon it is. there are many kinds. if it is an Eastern dragon (chinese) the tiger destroy the dragon! but if it were a western dragon it could desintigrate the tiger with it's fire breath.

The Dragon may have magical abilities... but does he have... the Eye of the Tiger? Ask yourself that question.

Answer 2

It comes down to a matter of size. The smallest dragon wouldn't last ten seconds with a full grown tiger. A full grown tiger wouldn't last ten seconds with any form of True Drag or Sea Serpent.

Answer 3

My heart tells me that Bruce Lee would win... but my heart is incorrect.

Bruce Lee is faster than even a tiger, but the massive brawn of a tiger is even too much for the great Bruce Lee.

However, if Bruce was armed with a Martial Arts weapon of some sort, I believe he could win. Armed gladiators used to kill great cats in the arena all the time throughout Roman history.

Answer 4

It may be a draw between these two animals, as both species are adept fighters and expert hunters. It's most likely that a lion may win against a male tiger, but a lioness may not be so fortunate against a male tiger. However, she may not choose to fight with a male tiger, especially if she's in heat and wants to court him.

Answer 2:A lion wold win a tiger is made to hunt, a lion is made to fight, though tigers are faster and stronger to some extent a lion has much better fighting skills then a tiger thus a lion would win. Answer 3:It's a well known fact that tigers are the biggest cats in the world. It's a well known fact that the lion is the tallest cat at the shoulder and that African lion is also longer than a tiger. The word "bigger" appears in lenght height and weight. Tigers are usually heavier than lions on average. Lions are 4 feet tall while tigers around 3.5 feet. 6 inches is not a huge difference. 10.2 to 11.4 feet is not a big difference as well. Most lions are lighter than tigers but most is taller and longer. Tigers can be up to 50Ibs heavier on average. I'll say Siberian tiger is the biggest and African lion is just the size of Bengal tiger. I have a proof to that. Enormous mass of people do not see the difference between lion and tiger skeleton, which will be impossible with a bigger size difference than slight. Lions are not just the size of a tiger, but they are better fighters. Male lion spends 4 years learning for the fight for a pride. People think that tigers are more skilled because they fight as much as lion does for a pride. Here a fact to disagree with this remark. Lionesses do most of he hunting but when a pride finds something big they all join the hunt and don't quit until they've made their kill. Even males. There are few clips where a single lioness chases the entire elephant herd for about 60 meters. Every animal on African plains flees when it sees lion coming. Lions had evolved as fighters. All what a male lion does is protecting his pride. Male is just ready to risk his life to protect all what he has. On the other hand male tiger has evolved in more hunting lifestyle because not only because tigers have larger territories than lions but also because animals in the jungle are further spread out. Male tiger spends a lot of his time looking for a suitable prey like axis deer or wild boar. He is less interested in fight because tigress won't help him. Tiger forequarters appear easily on tigers short fur. Because of the lion's mane it is usually the lionesses who are compared to male tigers but some people claim them to be tigresses. Lions had been noticed as better fighters because they are smarter, braver faster and have better eye coordination which leads to fantastic dodges it does. It makes more damage with his claws and has stronger paw=swipe. His mane supports him in the fight it would not evolve it it would do nothing. Lions are also more aggressive, fierce and determined fighters and they like to fight more than tigers.

The tiger is a fierce Asian cat with big retractable claws. The tiger strikes from cover so it doesn't need to run that fast as lions do. Tigers had been told to have wider jaws than lions this letting them to have stronger biteforce. But the fact is, tigers "broad" on their cheeks and under the chin makes the tigers head look wider than they actually are but has the function as lion's mane only in a miniature version. According to real measurements lions head is longer and wider. Tigers are also said to use two paws at a time while lion must have 3 paws on the ground. This is not true. Lion's stand on 3 as much as on two. There's another myth that tigers hunt gaur regularly and that biggest prey lions hunt on is the African buffalo. In fact the tiger hunts gaur as much as lion hunt on giraffe or hippo, and pride of lions can take down an elephant in less that half an hour while it takes hours for tiger to take down smaller Asian elephant.

The tiger does stand a chance against male lion, strenght. Tigers have more strenght and can drag 100Ibs heavier prey over the same distance. Tigers use their stronger hind legs to do that. Tigers have more strenght. However when working on a throat bite the scientists found most annoying piece that it takes the jaws almost no power to suffocate a deer giving the lion huge advantage. When the lion will see the opportunity for a throat bite when fighting with a tiger, the lion will use it. This means lion will use throat bite to end the fight quickly, most often defeating any tiger specie at all

In the end, it is obvious that a lion would be the victor. Lions supreme skills and unexpected throat bite comes to the real king of the beasts. Surely they don't give superior titles for nothing. The lion is the dominant cat. But not only Animal Planet and Discovery Channel say so. There are some people trying to prove the tiger to be better but no one supports them so they make multiple accounts to support themselves.

P.S.: Size of the company does not affect in anyways. Discovery Channel and Animal Planet agree that a lion would win.

Answer 4:both can win. the only thing it needs is guts.for eg recently bull fought with lion. so why cant a tiger/lion win lion/tiger. Answer 5:Either could win. Both are strong predators, and have the necessary weapons to inflict injury. The tiger may have the edge in muscle strength, but the lion has been recognized as having an indomitable will in a fight to the finish. Answer 6:A likely outcome : they would fight to a draw and leave. Answer 7:I love this question. I want everyone to read this and know but unfortunately they won't. Alright here we go. A full grown African male lion would beat a full grown male Bengal or Siberian tiger. Lions are born killers, people who say that which ever they choose (lion, tiger) that it will win easily. This is complete bullcrap. There is just no way, I repeat, NO way, that a lion could easily beat a tiger and vice versa.

Now here's the real answer: lions are strong, yes. Lions have courage, yes. very stubborn. sure. But they are no where near as strong and smart and skillful, AND Muscular. Lions only appear to have more muscles because of there main and fur. Just because they are "born killers" so said, does not mean that they can beat a tiger. Tigers have more brain development, probably just because of evolution, and they have many strategies. they can dodge and have a much faster swipe and punch. Yes, lions have more powerful swipe and punch, but once again, tigers are quicker. Plus, lions have a long jaw, and tigers have a very wide jaw witch covers more space and flesh. I am not saying that the lion cannot win a fight, but when the tiger is aged on (tigers try to avoid unnecessary fights) he will most likely win. They will win 9 out of 10 times.

Answer 8:Tigers are quicker and more agile, with an incredible jumping ability. The lion is much stronger, but slower than the tiger. However, the assumption is that the lion is the more ferocious. In a short fight, the lion would have an advantage. In a protracted struggle, the tiger might outlast him.
yes, but on the rarest occasions. if a lion steals a tiger's food, then its obvious they do.

they both live in India, jungle tigers and jungle lions. they rarely meet.

Answer 5

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
