Lion vs Tiger Who is the Real King - (Expert Podcast Breakdown)

[@grinchoi1]

Speed, strength, agility, bite force and muscle ratio all go to the tiger. I'm going Tiger in most cases. But as you say it also depends on the individual animal

[@zoooloogist]

Thank you for sharing your insights! You make some great points about the tiger's attributes. Tigers are indeed known for their remarkable speed, strength, agility, and powerful bite force. Their muscular build and solitary hunting lifestyle have honed their abilities to take down large prey on their own. On the other hand, lions, especially male lions, are accustomed to fighting to defend their pride and territory. This constant interaction can make them formidable opponents. As you mentioned, it often comes down to the individual animal-their size, experience, and even the environment in which they encounter each other.

[@pattrell5257]

@grinchoi1 Bite force means little in a claw fight: Clawing and grappling mean more. Bite force, in this kind of fight, is after the kjII or if one of them got the other in a compromised position so that a bite cannot be challenged. That's why single hyenas never beat single lions. I mean, the clawing and grappling wins the fight; then, the lion bites...

[@pattrell5257]

@eutnikuyaatbpeatunwindandt9444 Listen, a lion is like a grizzly that is about about 1/2-2/3 the size. That's how they fight and they have plenty of experience: from both within the pride and from cast-out, envious male lions(particularly in prides that have one lion and there are 2 or 3 brothers to challenge them). In addition, a male lion is tough like a grizzly that size, too.

But most importantly we acknowledge the beauty, power and beauty both of these wonderful beasts have. No human or even 10 humans, unarmed is a match for a full grown male Lion or Tiger. They are REAL apex predators.

Absolutely! Both lions and tigers are awe-inspiring, combining beauty, strength, and incredible skill as apex predators. Their power is unmatched, and it’s true-no unarmed human could stand a chance against a fully grown male lion or tiger. They’re incredible animals deserving of respect and admiration in their own unique ways!

[@jancyvargheese5351]

There is so many misinformation here. Lions do live in the jungles. They historically lived in the jungles of India, and still do today in one location, which is more of a forest, not a proper jungle. It’s called the gir national park in Gujarat, western India. Lions also live in the jungles of Ethiopia. They historically lived in the jungles of Mesopotamia, Iraq until they were hunted to extinction by the 1800s and early 1900s. They inhabited all the Middle East, North Africa, the Caucasus mountains like Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iran, Israel, Saudi, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, etc. The term the king of the jungle was given by us Indians to the lion, despite tigers being more in population and found in more areas of India, while lions lived in north western, central and eastern ganges plains of India, and didn’t live in the Himalayas and South Indian areas, which had thick jungles, that suited tigers more. The lion was the emblem of the 2300 year old Ashokas Mauryan empire, despite tigers being more numerous. Indians use the surname singh for warrior castes like the rajputs, and the sikhs of punjab. According to Indian historian Kailash Sinhala, Indian lions used to dominate and win most battles against Bengal tigers when they coexisted together until the late 1800s. The lion was hunted to extinction from most of India, just like the cheetah, by the mughal empire and the british empire. And african lions can weigh up to 600 pounds. 420 pounds is the average weight. This video showed the max size of Bengal and Siberian tigers, while using the average weight and length of lions, which is very unfair, and biased. Lions can also reach 10 or 11 feet in length, but most importantly, lions are half a foot taller than the tiger at the shoulder at 4 feet vs 3.5 feet for the tiger, giving the lion a significant advantage in a head to head battle. Lions have denser and thicker bones, making them stronger. Lions have the highest muscle percentage of all mammals at 59 to 62 percent vs 56 to 59 percent for tigers. Lions also have bigger forequarters, and are more front heavy, like the shoulders, neck, chest, hips, back, spine, while tigers have thicker, shorter, stronger forelimbs and stronger hind legs for jumping high, good balance, and for standing up. Lions have bigger lungs and heart, and much more stamina and endurance, giving them a big advantage over the tiger if it goes past 15 mins

[@zoooloogist]

Thank you for sharing such detailed and fascinating information! You’ve clearly done a lot of research, and your points about the lion’s historical range and significance in Indian culture, as well as the physical differences between lions and tigers, are very insightful. You’re absolutely right that lions did inhabit forested areas historically, including the Gir Forest in India, which is a unique and important habitat today. The cultural context you provided, like the lion's association with empires and the surname ‘Singh,’ adds a rich layer of understanding to why lions hold such a revered place in history. Regarding the video, it’s worth noting that every comparison like this has its limitations, especially when dealing with averages and extremes for size and strength. It’s always tricky to balance all the variables (habitat, physiology, and fighting styles) when comparing two incredible animals like lions and tigers. Thank you again for taking the time to sharing your thoughts with us.

Lion sloves puzzles faster than tiger and other big cats....

[@Mahim1995]

Lions fight more regularly than Tigers and have the mane advantage. But I guess some Tiger specimens are a bit too outsized, so the power difference cannot be ignored.

[@zoooloogist]

Good points! Lions definitely have the advantage of experience from frequent fights, especially males who constantly defend their pride and territory. The mane also offers some protection, which is a unique advantage in combat. But as you mentioned, some tiger specimens, especially larger Siberian or Bengal tigers, can be quite powerful and have a noticeable size advantage. Both are apex predators with strengths suited to their environments-lions with teamwork and resilience, and tigers with stealth and sheer power. It’s fascinating to consider how their adaptations make them so impressive in different ways!

Why is nobody mentioning how more and more lions have smaller mane by each generation and it's devolving every day by day?

[@ortonhruaia8440]

Simply because noone ever said that 👍👍

[@zoooloogist]

The size and fullness of a lion's mane can vary due to factors like climate, genetics, health, and testosterone levels. In warmer climates, lions often have shorter or lighter manes to help dissipate heat. There's no widespread evidence that lions are developing smaller manes with each generation globally. Changes in mane size are more likely influenced by environmental conditions rather than a sign of "devolution.

[@ajay.r.m2042]

You guys talk about lions having combat experience more than a tiger is a biased scenario. And, saying that tigers aren't good at night vision compared to lions is a total joke

[@zoooloogist]

Thanks for your comment! Let's clear up a few things. When we talk about lions having more combat experience, it's based on their social behavior. Male lions frequently engage in fights with other males to defend their pride or territory, which gives them practical experience in one-on-one combat. Tigers, being solitary hunters, don't face that kind of repeated direct competition. That said, it doesn’t mean tigers are any less formidable, they’re incredibly skilled and powerful in their own right! As for night vision, both lions and tigers are apex predators with exceptional night vision, far better than humans. Any suggestion that one significantly outperforms the other in this area would need more solid evidence. Both are highly capable hunters in low light conditions, so we agree that dismissing tigers’ night vision would be inaccurate. Thanks for pointing that out, debates like these make discussions even more interesting!

[@clydepratt250]

A lions lifestyle requires them to fight more so they’re more experienced at fighting naturally then tigers are and tigers try to avoid fights because an injury could prevent them from hunting to where a male lions only job is to protect the cubs and females from other male lions and hyenas!!

[@zoooloogist]

Good points! Lions do have a lifestyle that involves frequent confrontations, especially males who constantly defend their pride and territory, so they’re definitely experienced fighters. Their social structure also means they face off with rival lions and other threats like hyenas more often. On the other hand, as solitary hunters, tigers tend to avoid unnecessary risks since they rely on their own strength and stealth for survival. Both animals have unique skills suited to their environments-lions with cooperative strength and experience, and tigers with stealth and powerful hunting ability. It’s always fascinating to see how their different lifestyles shape their behavior and fighting styles!

[@DKS-75]

Not many realize that Tigers are territorial too. They fight other Tigers for territory.

[@zoooloogist]

You're absolutely right! Tigers are highly territorial animals and will aggressively defend their territory against other tigers. Male tigers, in particular, often engage in fierce battles over territory and mating rights. These confrontations can be intense and sometimes result in serious injuries. Thanks for pointing that out!

[@harrygreb3457]

[@mr.squanch]

The King would be the Barbary lion. Unfortunately, it recently became extinct because people do stupid things. I think there was a few in a zoo in Morocco until recently. So Sad. These lions were the largest and had the most massive manes of all the subspecies of the panthera leon because their habitat extended to the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains. I believe that this was also the only subspecies that lived solitarily and not in packs as lions normally do. The males of this subspecies were true giants. What also makes the lion the favorite in my opinion is that fighting is an everyday occurrence for the males. Fighting, protecting the group is the real reason for the male's existence in the pack. The females usually hunt. Males only participate when there is large prey such as buffalo.Fighting is much more normal among lions than it is among tigers.

[@zoooloogist]

Thank you for sharing such insightful information about the Barbary lion! It's indeed heartbreaking that these majestic creatures have become extinct in the wild due to human activities. The Barbary lion was renowned for its impressive size and the distinctive, extensive mane that covered its belly and sides, likely an adaptation to the colder climates of the Atlas Mountains. Regarding their social behavior, while most lions are known for living in prides, there's some debate about the Barbary lion's lifestyle due to the challenging environment they inhabited. Some theories suggest that they might have lived in smaller groups or had different social structures compared to other lion subspecies. However, complete solitary living is less characteristic of lions in general. You make a great point about male lions and their frequent involvement in fights to protect their pride and territory. This constant interaction does give them a lot of experience in combat situations. Tigers, being solitary animals, might not engage in territorial fights as often, but they are still incredibly powerful predators with their own survival strategies.

[@Imafanofbacons]

What's the basis or scientific proof that Lions are more accustomed to fighting than Tigers?

[@zoooloogist]

Great question! The idea that lions are more accustomed to fighting than tigers mainly comes from their social structure. Male lions often face threats from rival males trying to take over their pride, which means they regularly fight to defend their territory, cubs, and mating rights. This social pressure results in frequent confrontations, making them naturally more experienced in fighting situations. Tigers, on the other hand, are solitary by nature. They avoid fights when possible because an injury could compromise their ability to hunt and survive alone. So while tigers are incredibly powerful and skilled hunters, they don’t encounter the same frequency of social combat that lions do. Both have impressive fighting abilities but adapt to different lifestyles!

[@TJSaw]

@@zoooloogist A male tiger will also fight other males to keep the females in his territory his own. It’s just that it’s not that frequently filmed. I love how you try to make factual statements based on incomplete data.

[@Imafanofbacons]

@@zoooloogist TJSaw nailed it. Just because tiger fights aren't as frequently filmed doesn't meant it's not happening as often. Size, Strength, AGILITY favors the tiger. These are facts you can't just easily dismiss.

[@Imafanofbacons]

How can something just physically weaker overpower something stronger and agile than it in a real fight to death scenario?

[@zoooloogist]

@TJSaw, You're absolutely right that male tigers do fight other males to defend their territory and mates, it’s a critical part of their solitary life. However, these fights tend to occur less frequently than the dominance battles seen in lions, simply because tiger territories are often much larger, reducing the chances of direct confrontations. The difference lies in social structure, lions live in prides, and male lions are frequently challenged by rivals for control of the group. This constant competition gives male lions more regular practice in combat. For tigers, while territorial disputes can be intense and deadly, they occur on a more sporadic basis due to their solitary nature. We aim to present the most accurate information, but you're right, wildlife data often has gaps due to the difficulty of observing such behaviors consistently. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@cosmic_reign9979]

It's simply debating! ;) Yes, much of this is taken into consideration when debating. What makes it easier OR harder is that many debate topics pit "Prime, Similar size, Neutral Environment" all within in the header... Nice Video btw...

[@MrDemian81]

Lions have a slight advantage in visibility at night, the same advantage tigers have in bite strength. 1050 psi vs 1000 psi. Mainly based on everything I have heard, seen and read, it is very difficult to determine which animal is stronger. I think that is impossible. But one thing is certain. Due to their different way of life and character (perhaps some other things as well), one of these two animals will never give up or run away, and will always go to the end.

[@jamessmith3978]

I do not think that I have ever heard so much crap expounded as thoughtful input. The tiger can stand on its powerful hind legs and batter the lion with its forepaws, while the lion (with week hind legs) can only defend, with one forepaw at a time. The tiger's greater bite force, coupled with greater weight, strength and leaping ability makes it a very hard target to subdue. The tiger, not the lion is the major ambush predator, while the lion depends on co-operative hunting. The tiger depends on his/her own abilities, not a pride for survival, in a one on one confrontation, I give the tiger 9 out of 10 at the very least to win.

[@zoooloogist]

While it’s true that tigers are generally solitary and rely on their individual skills, and they have a slight advantage in weight and strength on average, it’s not as clear-cut as it may seem. Lions also have powerful forelimbs and an incredibly robust build, especially male lions who often fight other males over territory or dominance, which gives them a unique toughness. Both animals have their strengths-tigers are exceptional ambush hunters with stealth and agility, while lions are used to face-to-face conflicts, often with other lions. In reality, an outcome would depend on the specific individuals, their size, age, experience, and conditions of the fight. Nature doesn’t always have straightforward answers!

Nature has a way of making each animal uniquely powerful!

You make some interesting points! Tigers do have physical advantages like larger size, stronger bite force, longer canines, and greater agility. They can also balance on their hind legs for extended periods. Lions, on the other hand, benefit from stamina, combat experience from social living, and a protective mane. The outcome of a confrontation could depend on many factors, including individual size, age, and experience. It's a complex topic, and both animals have unique strengths that could influence the result.

Lions have been observed attacking crocodiles during territorial disputes or when competing for food. However, large crocodiles can be formidable opponents and pose a significant threat to lions. The outcome often depends on factors like size, environment, and which animal has the advantage at the time.
