In fact, there are 21 reasons why they cannot be compared. The tiger is the king of the mountains and forests, and the lion is the king of the grassland. The regions are different and cannot be compared. 2. Tigers are solitary creatures, while lions live in groups. It is difficult to compare, but there is an article that says it well. You can read the full text below. I have verified it with experts, and netizens must first clarify a few points
Off-topic: Foreigners What is advertised may not be true, but what is passed down from Chinese ancestors is indeed very powerful!
1. The largest cat is a tiger, not a lion. The male lion looks big because of his "beard". In fact, the lion's body is not big! If you don’t believe it, check out the video and pictures!
2. Due to geographical reasons and the fact that our country’s cultural propaganda is not dominant, Westerners see many lions and think that lions are the king of beasts. In fact, our domestic tigers are the real king of beasts. The king of beasts. This is why the West worships lions and the East worships tigers!
3. Someone asked again, saying that if lions live in groups, tigers must not be able to defeat lions, not necessarily! It is difficult for lions and tigers to meet under natural conditions. Once they meet, only the strongest among the lions will attack the tiger. Because tigers and lions think of each other as the same species. Similar to a decisive battle with humans!
4. Some people don’t understand the above, why do they identify as the same kind? Very simple, this is why there are ligers (the lion is the father) and ligers (the tiger is the father)! In the eyes of tigers and lions, the other person is just an ugly "male" or "female"!
The lion is afraid of animals, and the area occupied by the tiger is invincible.
The tiger has no opponents in the area where it lives, and it hunts alone.
But lions are afraid of hyenas and elephants, and are also afraid of crocodiles when drinking water. They can only attack and capture large animals in groups
The average weight of tigers is larger than that of lions, and the average running speed of tigers It is faster than a lion (80 kilometers: 60 kilometers per hour), and its canine length and bite force are also stronger than that of a lion!
Tiger’s strength is dominant
As the two largest cats, tigers and lions, although their genes are relatively close from an evolutionary perspective, there are some physiological differences between them. Their biting methods and hunting movements are different. As we all know, the tiger's canine teeth are the largest in length and diameter among cats, and the tiger's limb bones are also the thickest among cats. Therefore, when tigers deal with smaller animals (black deer and sika deer weighing more than 150-200 kilograms, etc.), when tigers catch up with prey, they can sometimes break the cervical vertebrae of these animals with their huge forelimbs. Tigers have very strong jumping ability (strong When it catches up with its prey, it jumps up and the power of its heavy palms is very terrifying. When tigers deal with larger prey such as sambar and red deer weighing more than 300 kilograms (these animals have the same combat power as or greater than wildebeest and zebra in Africa), the tiger uses the method of knocking down and biting the neck (a real bite). Neck) Tigers are basically fatal with one blow, and can bite off the neck of an animal of this size in just one bite (more than ten seconds). Tigers not only have large canine teeth, but also have the most developed ball-shaped muscles in their jaws among cats. The bite force is the highest among cats.
The way of attacking food and lifestyle lead to imbalance
The lion bites the neck or nose after jumping. Sometimes the lion cannot attack these animals at once (the lion is fierce) The impact of the pounce is obviously less than that of a tiger), so the lion bites its neck or nose and drags it to the ground. Sometimes it takes a stalemate for a minute or two. At this time, the lion itself is also very dangerous and may suffocate. (Experts say)
For larger prey such as bison, lions basically rely on group fights, exhausting the lone bison before biting its nose. The tiger's method of dealing with a bison is to jump on the back of the cow and grab it tightly with all four limbs (the tiger's claws are also the largest among cats) and then bite the back of the neck to death. The lion cannot do this. The lion cannot stay on the back of the cow because the size of its claws and the strength of its limbs are not enough. And the lion's canine teeth and bite force cannot kill the bison at all by biting the back of the neck.
So, after comprehensive analysis, tigers are definitely stronger than lions in terms of biting.
Historical records
According to historical records, various bloody battles between humans, beasts and humans, and beasts and beasts were often performed in the gladiatorial arenas during the heyday of ancient Rome. The ancient Romans always let male lions and male tigers of similar size fight, probably because the fight would look better if they were of similar size.
According to records, in all the battles between ligers and tigers in several gladiatorial arenas in one area within a few years, the lions never won. The only tigers that could be caught in ancient Rome were Bengal tigers, and the lions were African lions. It is a scientific fact that tigers are the largest cats in the world and lions are the second largest.
The eight tiger subspecies vary in size, but the average weight of tigers is higher than that of lions. The largest Siberian tiger in history weighed 384 kilograms (this is already the heavyweight of Alaskan brown bears and polar bears), and is far larger than the largest lion on record. Medium-sized tiger subspecies such as South China tiger and Bengal tiger (male) weigh about 200 kilograms, which is relatively large among male African lions. The largest lion is the West African lion, which is similar to the tiger but is extinct. The tiger is very cunning. He usually does not use force, but attacks or fights with wits. Although he can use force, don't forget that if he is injured, he will die, because the tiger always acts alone. If he is injured, he will If it cannot catch prey, it will starve to death. In this environment, the tiger will sometimes avoid fighting when it is not sure. But if you force it to fight, the tiger will kill any animal, including lions and ancient Roman lions. In tiger fights, lions have never been better than tigers.
In a domestic zoo, such an incident happened. A group of African lions and a group of tigers were kept together. The tigers were still underage, but the lions always bullied them. The tigers robbed their food. Slowly, the tigers grew up. Finally one day, the largest tiger in the tiger group robbed the food of all the other tigers. At night, I heard a loud noise from the liger cage. The roar of the array, the next day, I saw that all 8 lions in the cage had been killed by this tiger. When the tiger is in a hurry, no animal can stop it, but when it is not in a hurry, it can easily escape. This is also different from lions. Lions are powerful, but tigers are suspicious and do not fight uncertain battles.
Tigers are suspicious by nature, while lions are relatively honest. Tigers have diversified ways of attacking food, while lions are relatively simple to attack food.
Lions’ fights are generally not fierce. They usually involve scaring each other. To really fight, It is also because you see that the other party's beard is not as big as yours, because the female cannot beat the male, and the male has a bigger beard, it is often easy to have the illusion that the tiger is not as powerful as you, and you underestimate the enemy + your own strength, so even if the male lion and A fight between a tigress and a tiger may not result in victory!
Another netizen’s article
When a lion and a tiger fight, since they are all cats, the lions do not adopt a group attack strategy, but tend to find the strongest lion. When fighting a tiger alone, if the lion loses, the entire pride will run away. This is a different scene when a lion fights with other animals. In fact, from ancient Rome to today's zoos, if a lion-tiger fight really occurs, such as life and death, In a fight, the lion is often the ultimate loser. The tiger is naturally suspicious, so sometimes it runs away, but don't think it can't defeat the lion. That's because it's not the moment of life or death. The tiger is bigger and more powerful than the lion. The skill is also high, so under normal circumstances, a lion cannot defeat a tiger.
Who is more powerful, a tiger, an elephant, or a bear?
1. In Africa, a lion alone does not dare to fight How about elephants, but a group of lions often attacks baby elephants. There are more than 20 lions here. The measures taken are to jump on the elephant's back and bite\press it. The mother elephant cannot take care of it at all, and many baby elephants die.
2. In Asia, a tiger may attack an elephant, haha, and often eat the elephant. Just read more about animals.
Introducing a case of a tiger-bear fight. :

As a result, the lions always Bully the tigers and steal their food. Slowly, the tigers grow up. Finally one day, the biggest tiger in the tiger group eats the food of all the other tigers.
