Don't forget their powerful arms. Without them King Kong wouldn't have been able to break the Vastatosaur's jaw.

Don't they have enough strength to break bones, including the spine with a single strike?

That terribly-animated show on Discovery Channel did show a gorilla breaking a leopard's spine in one hit.

Tigers are more agile, stronger and vicious

lions are just big fat cats, especially the male ones. a female lion might put up a fight, but a tiger is still bigger in size for a female lion so it'll probably lose. Tigers are in a different level all together, Grizzly level

was this a male Lion? if so, I'd say the bengal and a male Lion are equal in size.

Mufasa always wins. Except that one time.

Maybe if they were the same size. But the largest bear weighs about 1500lbs. Largest gorilla is around 400-600. Bears also have a height advantage when standing, I think some are up to 10 feet.

Yeah the gorilla's arms are strong, but the claws are a major advantage. 6 inch claws compared to a gorillas finger nails.
 
Thought the thread was a question to be discussed. I came in to cast my vote for the tiger, only to find I already won.

It's widely accepted and documented that male lions are stronger and more ferocious than their female counterparts. Just because females do the majority of the hunting, doesn't mean they're more capable than the males.

Not really related to tigers and lions. And I couldn't find the one with Yujiro mauling the bear.
*Tigers are stronger but I still like lions.
 
Share Khan wins because of two reasons. One: He's a tiger, the coolest animal. And two: his name is freakin' Share Khan. Such an awesome name.
 
I was going to post that the lion might have a chance against a Bengal tiger, and that a Siberian tiger would certainly destroy it, but it looks like even that matchup was a joke.

Male lions are worthless.

Whoever drew this has no idea what an acceptable amount of muscle definition is. That just grosses me out, I don't even want to look at it.
 
thats weird i always thought a lion was stronger than a tiger, also wasnt he lucky he got that critical shot.

But Share Khan isn't his name. It's Shere Khan. Also, first time I saw the OP title, I thought it was Mufasa vs. Shao Kahn.
 
Tigers are much bigger and stronger. Not a surprise the Tiger dominated a Lion. But wow, a 1-hit KO is pretty one-sided.

There is nothing lucky about a top predator hitting the jugular in his first strike. That's what they must learn to do to kill prey fast. They know the weak spots.
 
Honestly, while a tiger may beat a lion in most cases, Mufasa would win this fight hands down. Sure, Simba and Scar would probably lose, but it took a stampede and a lion to take down Mufasa. He's jacked.
 
uhh.. Male lions kill cubs while their moms can't do anything to stop the males. Male lions are twice the size of females. Males are also the first to eat even though the females do all the work. Male lions are pimps.

where are you guys getting this stuff? Lions are no joke. either cat can kill the other first of all, Lions with their jaws can rip a tiger into pieces, Tigers with their claws can 2 piece a lion into the ground. Both the cats are bad enough to down the other. Tigers can do amazing shit like roll up on a crocodile and fuck it up, just like lions can body slam a 600 pound ox and tear its throat out. We can debate all we want, Lion vs Tiger one of them is gonna say fuck it when it really goes down and bow out whether they are supposed to win or not.

komodo dragons would kill em both anyway with their OP dot's ....cheaters.

Male lions are a joke. They basically the Homer Simpson of the animal kingdom.
 
male lions role in the wild is to fight other male lions to keep or steal another pride. while the tiger is the bigger predator, it probably is at a disadvantage in a pit fight.

being a superior solitary predator does not equal fighting. i think people are mixing up the 2.

either way i'd take a big grizzly bear over either.

many animals fight within their species for the right to mate, and in the case of predators, to keep their hunting territory. lions aren't special in fighting each other.

"...leaving the animal dying in a pool of blood, officials said."

Childhood dreams were shattered, just like the OP said."
 
never got that "king of the jungle" thing people say with lions

they are not the strongest of the cats
hell they are not even the strongest in africa
(hippo's,big crocs,elephants would PWN them)

it is just for the looks and thats it lol?
 
I remember reading in a site that seemed to have researched the issue quite a bit that lions usually had the advantage. It based its conclusions in records of fights in Roman arenas, animal fights in ancient Egypt, up to animal fights during the 30s. It had links and cited sources, no way I can remember the site though.

It was all about the tiger being a predator and hunter, while the male lion was by nature a brawler. The tiger has stronger lower/back body to spring and attack, while the lion is built stronger in the front part to fight other male lions and threats to the pride. The deciding factor was the mane, since tigers kill at the neck, and an alpha lion's mane would prevent that, it's not only for show.

It did however also mention that the strongest type of lions, I think black maned from northern Africa, are now extinct.

While it all fascinates me I'm too much of a wimp to search for videos since I love animals too much and will get extremely upset seeing them in pain unless it's 100% in naturally occurring situations, so who knows.

Go tigers though :)
 
I'll take videos over speculations. I've seen a show similar to what you wrote it was all speculation and the fights were in CG.
