The tiger is the largest of the cats and is a perfect killing machine with a superior combination of power, stamina, cunning and agility.

There have been some real fights between the two kings of the jungle.

    im going to have to go with the tiger

    advantages:
    1. Its big size is a factor for making it easire to take down smaller enemies
    2. Strong hind legs help it pounce and make fast attacks
    3. Its agility for quick swipes and bites or dodges and escapes
    4.Tigers most of the time have the stronger bit forces it just depends on the animal

    Lion advantages:
    1.Its mane it the biggest protects from strong bites
    2.Its very agrressive but because of this are killed 67% of the time because there over confident
    3.True they are faster but barely

    I would have to bet for the tiger. In some Asian countries, lion-tiger fight inside large cages or dens is a form of cruel but habitual gambling. Most zoo keepers, who participate in arranging the fight, attested that in 9 out of 10 fights, the tiger wins. So their usual advice, "never bet for a lion." Perhaps the primary reason why tigers are the usual winners is that tigers have more developed fighting skills because they are solitary and are used to knocking down their prey alone. The lions have to call group assistance from their siblings to knock down their meals. Unlike lions, tigers are lone hunters, attackers and survivors so they are bound to develop more muscles and fighting strategies to hunt and survive in the wild.

    Lions have to defend their pride against other male lions that fight back. Usual tiger prey; deer don't fight back. Lions have more practice fighting bigger, stronger animals; water buffalo, wilderbeast, other lions etc. Lion manes protect from claws and bites.

    Tigers also fight other tigers over territory and they hunt the same kinds of animals as lions or animals that are of comparable size to what lions hunt, alone without help. If you look up what kinds of animals tigers hunt, you will see that your statement is false. Lions do it in a group so to say that they have more practice fighting bigger, stronger animals doesn't really make any sense from a logical standpoint. It would make more sense to say that I would get more experience fighting alone then I would if I took down the same opponent with a group of other people helping me or animals in this instance.
