No one is saying a tiger cant defeat a lion, there are a few times it happened, most wanna know who would win in a series of bouts...My opinion? I dont really care, just wanted to share some facts that most of the sites on the web is either hiding or ignorant about. The lions kill each other by overwhelming the other with numbers, usually targeting the rump area and exposed or unprotected places of the mane...the mane isnt impenetrable, but it is a good defensive anatomy, look at the bottom part:
The african lions mane:
Dead tigers with their necks torn out (with the scientist confirming the puncture wounds by claws and fangs) turn up all the time, could you show me a huge mane dead lion with his neck torn out in the wild? I haven't seen one yet. The mane can be bypassed but it will take a huge amount of effort ripping it out, does the tiger have that much gas in the tank? I would assume no. My question to all the dead tigers with their necks punctured is...how sure are they that instead of assuming it was in a fight with another tiger...that the tigers weren't killed by another...leopard.
I think thats an honest question.
I don't remember seeing all these tigers showing up with there throats ripped out there's no leopard fukking with a tiger unless the tiger was handicapped one way or another or it was a small ass tiger. There's plenty of footage out there and smaller tigers usually handles male lions. You put the biggest tiger in there which has advantages in EVERY category over the lion.
