Barbary Lion vs Siberian Tiger

[Sword]

Tough choice. But I probably would lean towards the Lion on this one. However, looking at this






@Sword

Thoughts on the Liger?

Pretty cool, as for hybrids? Seen a article that a lion killed a hybrid big cat of a leopon or something:

and a liger killed a leopard:
FIGHT TO DEATH - Zoo Visitors See Fierce Battle - Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton, Qld. : 1878 - 1954) - 4 Jan 1939

heres a liger bullying a tiger:


I guess the tiger had no choice but to assume a submissive posture, or risk being thrown around by the bigger and stronger liger.

don't forget those indian tigers you're looking at are smaller than the big man of the bunch

shyt like this is why I can't believe we are a product of evolution/natural selection alone. We are the worst thing that ever happen to the planet. We choose to operate outside of the balance of nature.

another way to look at it is We may be mother's nature's masterpiece.

We are the perfect species, and after billions of years of species trying to survive and failing, struggling to eat daily. Struggling to raise their kids, Struggling to avoid predators, nature finally got it right.

We are an elite species that is unstoppable, unrelenting and can adapt to anything

We went from only being able to fly for a few seconds, to landing a man on the moon all in 1 persons lifetime

we cant hold our breaths for longer than a minute but we conquered the ocean's

The G.O.A.T Species , and if aliens try us we'd probably fukk them up cause we stay War Ready

I dont believe Evolution is the sole thing that lead to Humans (I took courses on microevolution and that shyts fake af even my prof laughin saying we dont know shyt) But I do believe in natural selection and macroevolution

There are some valuable cites in that sources, such as the entire siberian tiger conservationist, who documented over 300 tigers, none passing 262 kg in the past 25 years, some like Igor even stated he doughts the siberian tiger ever went past 600 lbs, as there is no abundancey of prey that would suggest they can, the average Siberian now days is a mere 175 kg, but we are speaking historically so they could be bigger in the past because of more prey...interestingly 3 lions in tangayika east africa shot in the 30's and 60s weighed 700 and 800 lbs by D.F Kruger and a whopper by Daniel E Boone at 900 lbs, about the same time the siberians were known to hit the 800+ lb numbers, either back then they could grow alot bigger or the hunters were exaggerating the weights...either way, both only average a solid 220 kg as a prime specimen.

I see what you're saying, but I couldn't call these creatures thin

That's lookin kinda brolic to me

Tiger because they're solitary so they hunt alone and have way more muscle. They have to watch their own backs and are constantly on the move.

Male lions make the women go hunt and they eat first off that. They only fight once in a while to maintain control of the pride. Otherwise its sleep, eat or fukk and end up being Fat.

A Tiger is a Warrior and the Lion is a King.


Even though Tiger is stronger, Lion is the best animal because of how it lives

A lion also has a small heart which hurts his endurance

Well, if you wanna go against a hundred eye witness natural history books and hunters, than thats your choice...plus the description is based on their entire species, not a hand pick individual, thats like saying chinese is not short on average and then pick Yao ming as a refuting argument. Of course there are exceptions, as you might find a lion longer than some tigers too.

Plus...thats who right there, bamera, wagdoh or some from kazaringa? Those are photos from the side view, if you find those same tigers standing bipedal and from directly by the back, you'd probably see how thin they are elongated, even if a lion is stretched out, he is more compact because he is shorter over all in length.

I'll go by what I've seen though, and about every tiger I've seen, whether in person, or in pictures or video, does not look "thin". Yeah, those pics in particular were hand picked, but were only meant to add to my point. Other big cats could be described as thin such as Jaguars, Leopards, Cougars, Cheetahs...etc in comparison....but Tigers? Yeah they're tall/long, but far from thin. Those things are fukking tanks.

I think science has disproved that as well:
Lion and tiger heart and lung sizes in Lion vs. Tiger Forum

Africa by far has the greatest sprinters and long distance runners in the world, this is due also to the heat, this is one sport anyone who trains there dominates in...havent known any fastest world breaker runners coming exclusively from russia and india.

Where go Jaguars(black)stack up against lions and tigers?

 

[AlwaysLurkin]

Love lions but tigers always seem to give them the hands

 

[Miggs]

Id love to see a male tiger,lion,polar bear,grizzly bear,silverback in a closed off area where they'd have to fight so we can stop making these threads and crown one the champion...

Bite pressure is equal but theyre so much smaller then tigers and lions i cant see them winning...

Ligers are genetically flawed, lions and tigers weren't meant to produce
