What is the difference between a tiger and a lion?
Tigers have stripes, while lions are a tawny buff color. Male lions have a mane, while tigers have a ruff of fur around the face. Tigers are longer, more muscular, and are usually heavier than lions. Lions stand a little taller at the shoulder. Tigers legs are heavier, and they are more agile than lions. Tigers are without a doubt more aggressive than lions, and in hybrids between the two the tiger gene is dominant. Lions live in groups called prides, but the tiger is for the most part a solitary hunter.
