Who would win in a fight,… a Lion or Tiger?
A fight between a lion and a tiger could go either way. There are numerous records of fights between these species, since many people in the past have wanted the answer to this question and tried to settle it by cruelly pitting tigers and lions against each other. In some cases the tiger wins, in some cases the lion. The outcome of such a fight depends on the individuals involved – their age, size, sex, health, experience, temperament, etc. The largest tiger is larger and stronger than the largest lion, but of course there is going to be some overlap – for example, a male lion is larger than a female Sumatran tiger. In any case, size and strength are not the only determining factors – a large but timid tiger would be likely to lose to a small but aggressive lion, even though it was stronger. Lions generally have more fighting experience – they often clash with other prides, whereas tigers tend to avoid conflict whenever possible. Also, the lion’s mane (provided it is a male, of course)
