When the tiger 'the lion' war, who wins?

Data show that tigers are often winners, but the results of each confrontation completely depend on each individual.

The Romans used to hold matches between African and Asian tigers in arenas for fun. Today, sometimes at the zoo there are also clashes between these two large cats and they quickly turn into terrible warfare, causing people to witness fear.

The data that recorded the tiger often had the advantage in fighting the lion

According to the LifesLittleMysteries, tigers often win the battle in the old Roman arena and the accidental encounters in today's zoos. However, not always.

Craig Saffoe, biologist and curator of this large cat at the Smithsonian National Zoo (USA), said 'Tiger and lion, each species has its own strengths and the results of the ordinary war. depend on each individual, such as the experience of the battle, the way of attack or their physicality.

Usually these two species are nearly equal in size. According to Saffoe, an adult African male lion and an adult male Bengal tiger usually weigh between 180 and 190kg.

The lion's mane is seen as the armor that protects its neck and also shows that male lions are born to fight.

Lions always live in groups, so during development, male lions often have real drills and they always have to do so to prove they can take on the role of the leader.

Although combat experience can be an advantage of lions, it is the shoal life that is their biggest weakness when compared to tigers. One study showed that usually 2 - 3 lions would meet in a group to fight against anyone who violated the territory, and the tiger would fight alone. This difference affects the instincts of two species.

Lions love the type of catching prey, because they know that there is always the back support of their children.

Meanwhile, tigers are often very aggressive, when attacking always aim at the opponent's throat and have to fight until death. It was because during the evolution process, tigers never received the help of their fellow humans during the hunt. So this is a big advantage of tigers when confronting lions.

According to Saffoe's estimates, the largest ranking of cats can be divided as follows: the top group is difficult to identify between tigers, lions and jaguars, followed by leopards (Leopard). ), cougar (Puma), snow leopard and cheetah.
