» lions are capable of amazing feats of strength. for example, a 416 lb lion can pull a carcass weighing 1000 lbs a distance of over 400 feet. that`s about a 60% difference in weight, so lions, as such, would need a muscle mass of about 60%. and this makes sense because with about 600 muscles in it`s body, higher percentages in muscle percentage is impossible at weights higher than 416 lbs, which i deduce must be a lions average weight. such a feat takes the strength of 10 men.

at 416 lbs, a lion has about 250 lbs of muscle. the average 150 lb man has about 40% of muscle. even though people have less than 1/10th the muscle mass of a lion, a lion`s muscles, at similar weights, are 40% stronger, due to their far hectic lifestyle.

recent reports from zoologists have found that a study of about 15 male siberians captured and released in the wild much smaller than previously thought, and not one tiger was found to weigh over 420 lbs.

lions, living in prides and having to protect the territory, are taller with big manes, as this aids in intimidation and helps to prevent a fight by conveying the message of being strong and powerful. even so, lions fight often, and 50% of all males die in fights with rivals. such fighting, over time, has made the lion a more aggressive animal.

tigers, living alone, have longer teeth and claws, an adaptation that suits a lone hunter. also, they have shorter legs. shorter legs produce more speed.
example: limbs, when moved, fall in a curve pattern. shorter limbs have a shorter curve and so takes less time to reach it`s mark. also, the receptors that send the command to move has less distance to travel before it reaches the brain. the shorter the distance traveled, the quicker your reaction. with their short limbs, tigers are capable of great speed and agility, and are, on average, 15% faster than lions.

tigers, with their shorter limbs, use up more energy quicker, so they tire easily. that`s one of the reasons they live in forests; it provides the perfect cover for a shorter chase.

also, here`s some info from zoos and documentaries; a lion named moran from “planet carnivore” was said to weigh 500 lbs. it was said on ‘explorer that a male siberian weighed 500lbs. on ‘awesome pawsome’ it was stated that tigers usually weigh about 500 lbs in zoos. from a zoo mentioned in a previous post had a siberian tiger that weighed 600 lbs, and was very fat looking. a lion, similarly, at another zoo, weighed 600 lbs. one of clyde beatty`s lions weighed 650 lbs. a fight between a lion and tiger was mentioned that stated the lion weighed 500 lbs while the tiger weighed 450 lbs.

peter jackson, a big cat expert, says the heaviest lion weighed 930 lbs, compared to 932 lbs from a siberian tiger named jaipur. he claims there`s no difference size wise.

also, it should be noted that the heaviest CONFIRMED nepalese bengal tiger weighed 227 kgs, while the largest tsavo lion weighed 272 kgs.

mazak, a big cat expert, claims that record of the 857 lb wild bengal tiger wasn`t confirmed, and isn`t reliable. however, the largest wild lion weighed 702 lbs.

also, author of the book "tiger in the snow" claims he knows of no wild tiger over 650 lbs, and that hunters weights of tigers claim in the past were mere estimates.

as you can see from my above statements, tigers are no bigger than lions.

go to youtube and type in "lion vs tiger royal ray fight", and to see the full vid of the above fight, go to:

» mechanix, siberians only appear larger due to their longer fur and shorter legs, and i have reason to believe that tigers might not be longer than lions, as the records shown should have the tiger at more of a lead in length. but it was the animal`s skins that were measured, and they were stretched, the tiger being 13 ft and the lion being 12 ft. but not many lions or tigers have been weighed let alone measured, and i doubt that the animals measured were the largest in the world. there could very well have been a wild lion that weighed as much or more than the heaviest tiger on record and vice versa. in my opinion, the animals are the same size.

but lions are more aggressize and sport big manes, adding to the animal`s intimidation. lions rule.

» I HAVE SOME HOMEWORK 4U COLOSSEUM OF ROME TIGERS, LYONS AND BEARS GUESS HO HAD THE WINNING RECORD TIGERS SO PROVE ME RONG

» lions are the kings of the beasts. i`ve seen a lion chase off an entire clan of hyenas by himself. and, if given the chance, he`ll try to kill a few.

lions are the ultimate fighters.

i hear all the time about how people say tigers win most fights, but they can never prove it.

when people say tigers get bigger than lions most of the information is based on speculation and something they`ve read rather than looking for the truth.

lions rule.

» not bein funny but serious well known fact that lions have 2 fight all there life 2 stay on top! the fact that there not much smaller than tigers and not much weaker says that the experience will play a big part in the fight! i am a semi pro boxer and on the street, without trying 2 sound crazy, i have most deffenately knocked guys twice the size of me out! im 9 stone! fuckin size isnt everything! so for all u stupid people who believe the tiger would win heres one 4 u 4 deffo u r wrong i am telling u! speed advantage experience blatantly far far far far far far far far far far far far far more aggressive KING OF THE JUNGLE giddyup sausage!

» Well said. I have always wondered if male lions are recorded to be smaller than tigers, then why do the lion always appears large when viewed simultaneously. Also, is it possible, when comparisons are made between tigers and lions, it is based on average weighs, both male & female?

Thanks

» Its the asiatic lion vs.tiger!!! Not african lion!

» size along will not determine the outcome of the fight...so what if the lion is smaller, the advantage isnt huge anyway. Strenght, ferocity, and above all fearlessness(no fear whatsoever with the tiger) makes the lion win over the tiger.
