Lions vs Tigers, who wins?

Lion tiger opponent, who wins? It does not seem to matter. But it can be a debate, even some experts to debate this. Unnecessary debate?

So far the title of the king of the jungle held by the Lion. It is not true that the jungle is defined as a forest. Because the lions live in the meadow (savannas). Precisely tigers are habitat in the forest. King of jungle = tiger, king of prairie = lion. Is that so?

Ah, it does not matter the title of the king. But if the two animals accidentally meet at the boundary between the forest with the savannas for example, and then they fight each other's strength (because it is impossible they say hello and hugging for a long time no see), who is the winner?

Tiger vs Lion

We see the comparison of specifications on paper between the two first (male vs male):

Physical Dimensions

Tigers and lions have several subspecies each. The largest of the tiger subspecies are the Siberian Tiger and the Bengal Tiger. Siberian tigers (250 - 290 cm, 180 - 306 kg) and Bengal tiger (270 - 310 cm, 180 - 258 kg) are still larger than the largest lion subspecies of African lions (145-205 Kg, 250 - 300 cm). The physical dimension of the tiger is purple. But the lion looks bigger because the mane around his neck is possible.

Personality

The tiger is a solitary animal. Everywhere. Live alone, feed yourself, sleep alone, play alone, chat alone, wash your own clothes. While the lions generally live in groups with a leader of a male lion and some lioness. The female lions have the task of feeding for the group. The male lion is in charge of marrying the lions. I do not know what kind of powerful drug that the male lion uses.

Brain Size

A study from scientists at Oxford University showed the tigers had relatively larger brain volumes than lions. Even the tiger's brain volume, which is the smallest tiger, is relatively as large as the South African lion's brain volume. The volume of the brain is directly proportional to the intelligence of the animal.

Up here the tiger looks superior to the lion. Physical, brain size, living alone (self-life should make tiger more independent and strong) into the superiority of the tiger. In addition the tiger is believed by scientists more agile, nimble, intelligent, and ferocious than the lion. But will the lion just give up if it meets a tiger? No.

Some videos on Youtube show a fierce battle between the two animals. The lion is able to give resistance despite being less agile and relatively less physical.

Here's what experts say:

• Clyde Beatty

An animal trainer and a tiger handler. He has several tigers, lions, hyenas, and some other exotic animals. He said that from the very beginning he began to unite tigers with lions, some 25 tigers (two of them Siberian tigers, the rest of Bengal tigers) were killed by lions in the circus arena, from lions no one died from a single tiger.

• Save China's Tiger Organization believes, from the latest research indicates the tiger is physically stronger than the lion. From the general size of the tiger is larger than the lion. The majority of experts are sure to be Siberian tigers or Bengal tigers rather than African lions.

• John Smith Clarke

Professional lion hunter from Britain. He argues in his seminars at Glasgow's zoological gathering while showing actual combat that is aired through a seminar screen. In 100 cases of fighting between lions and tigers, the 100 fights will always be won by the tiger. He shows the data if the tiger is much more agile, his moves are never ineffective, though equally strong and equally armed but the tiger has a more effective fighting style. Tiger when fighting very often rolling, he will continue so until it finds a gap to grip the lion and kill the lion.

• Kailash Shankala

A naturalist and conservationist from India wrote in a book. There he says the tiger can not defeat the lion because the lion has a long hair mane that covers his neck. That would be an advantage for the lion. He also wrote a long time ago once a prince from India pitted tiger and lion, in the match that the lion who managed to kill the tiger. Shankala concluded that the power of the tiger is not proportional to the power of the lion.

Well, it's subjective. In some cases the tiger wins, and sometimes the lion wins. According to historical records several times this animal was pitted deliberately. And the result? The same. Sometimes tigers win, sometimes lions win.

Yes can not be drawn conclusions absolutely. Weight and size also determine the outcome of both bouts. Tigers have an advantage in agility and agility. While the lion also has a defensive force in the neck is quite effective.

Both have their own human fans. A bit strange but it is true. Humans idolize animals, hihihi. But do not come because you want to know who is stronger, there are people who have the heart to pit these two animals.

Lions and tigers have been threatened with extinction. Some subspecies of this big cat even already declared extinct, such as Bali Tiger and Java Tiger owned by Indonesia. It's a pity if these two exotic animals live by name
