you know this how? that was so long ago...how many incidents, what species of tiger and lion? what age, sex, size, etc.? there's a reason captive tigers are smaller than captive lions, most people aren't going to keep an 800 lb animal with the solitary disposition of a tiger around. i've skimmed thru this thread, and a lot of the "evidence" you posted is tainted. but you also have like 4983 posts in here, so i'm not going to keep going as i don't care and truly hate "this animal vs that animal" topics as it points to a bit of a sickness in the human psyche.
It wasnt that long ago, romans are long ago, india was just a century ago.
If you did read the thread, you would have seen the bonus round posted on the very first post. India has had around 10 incidents, a smaller asiatic lion killed a bengal tiger. 4 occasions in the wild, surat, bangalore, and ganges yamuna. So logic applys, if the hunter said just as big, both were adults, tiger so gender male, this happened in india so the sub-species is obvious, a bengal and a indian lion.
I dont really see your point or agenda here. Bears are double to triple the size of tigers and also solitary, and tigers average more in the lines of 400 lbs in captivity. Not 800, 80% of the tiger sub-species like bali, sumatran, malay, indo, south china, ect are either the size of a large leopard or jaguar.
I dont even have 500 post yet, where are you getting 4,000+ from? And define tainted? You mean something that goes against your tiger >>> everything views?
Biology is not a sickness, its a science, when you take things personal and have no objective, its a sickness, hence just favoring tigers >>>>>>>>> everthing else it can be called a sickness, because you blind your self to all facts, rational and reasonable, when you are interested in biology and ecology its education.
Many of the sites you see are just fan made, unlike the bonus round thread, it takes opinions exclusively from the people of india, I would think biologist, historians and naturalist of india hold alot more merits than any other people to cite, as they know the tiger/lions indigenous history, they lived with them side by side and even studied them in their wild states .

I'm surprised scientists haven't been successful in bringing back the Barbary lion
Its difficult at this stage, even the lions from Morocco owned by the king had been Dna tested, and they were not barbary lions. The only known bones tested positive came from england, who lions that were gifted to the king. And those were in the 14th century, so they cant really pin point what century the barbary lion went extinct.
The last known wild ones were alleged to be shot in the late 18th century, but were they barbary, or similar to the adida lions? Of course I dont think all were wiped out, if they did do a thorough search in all the zoos, sanctuary's and circuses, I'm pretty sure they can find a descendant. And from there they can set up re-wilding programs.
Since the asiatic lion is also a decedent of the barbary in recent geno patterns tested, they are suggesting using them to reintroduce to north africa, but again...they should look for pure breds first, since a indian lion is still not a barbary, that would be like saying, well all of the irish was killed off, lets take the closets thing related and try and re-populate with a Scottish man and lady. Its not going to be the same.
The bottom line is, the tiger is vulnerable to being bitten in the neck, and there are no records that even suggest a lions mane can be easily by-passed, let alone casually by-passed or extremely by-passed. So the lion has a big advantage in this fight, in terms of lions like this:
The tiger cannot bite the lions throat, nor disembowel him, so how is the tiger winning? In that state alone, the lion has more durability added in with more endurance, how is the tiger winning?
