well tigers... they are the biggest of all the cats (Body length: 140-280cm, Tail length: 60-110cm, Shoulder height: 80-110cm, Weight: Male: 180-280kg, Female: 115-185kg). They are easily recognisable, with thick black vertical stripes covering an orange body. The belly and throat are a creamy white. Male tigers have a ruff around the back of the head, which is especially pronounced in the Sumatran male.\n\nNo two tigers have the same stripe pattern - each is unique, like human fingerprints. Tiger stripe patterns commonly differ between the two sides of an individual's body.\n\nThe last recorded wild white tiger was documented in 1951. This male cub later became the progenitor of most white tigers in captivity. The stripes of white tigers are brown.\n\nunlike the lion tigers hunt by themselves. tigers have one of the biggest jaws of all the cats (second to the american jagaur, who has the first). The tiger has no natural predetor other than man, they live for 8-10 years in the wild and 26 years in captivity.\n\nTigers stalk and ambush their prey. They use dense covering to conceal themselves and sneak up on their prey. When the tiger is close enough it suddenly rushes at its prey and kills it by grabbing the throat or nape of the neck.\n\nFemales occupy ranges between 25-1600 sq. km. Males occupy larger ranges which may overlap with the ranges of several females.\n\nMore than other big cats, tigers have a reputation as man-eaters. In truth, it is rare for a tiger to attack people. It is normally old or injured tigers who are the culprits, as they are less able to catch their usual prey.

Tigers can run about 35 miles per hour (56 kph) — roughly as fast as bears and lions. They reach such speeds only over short distances (about 10 yards, 10 m) during the attack.

tigers are stronger and faster and "fitter" but in a fight the lion would win. cause they have been  fighting since young and are very well trained. they have also more hair and fats to protect them against bites

Why would you introduce conservation to first graders?\nPiaget showed that the ability to conserve is a thinking process that develops, not one that is taught.\n\nAnyway here is an ideas for you.\nStudents can explore clay.Then you can show them a lump of clay. Then roll the clay into a snake. Ask them,"Do I have more clay now? Less clay? or the same?\n\nUse a balance scale to create two blobs of clay that weigh the same. Give the clay to two students and ask them to make a pancake and a ball. Let the class vote on which student has more clay.

ever seen the movie Carrie? just kidding! at my school some of the seniors(who lived on farms)got a bunch of frogs, snakes, lizards- you name it-they had it- and let them all loose in the lunchroom one day when most of the lady teachers were in there. it was hilarious!   (they let them loose outside afterward!)

It is true that this world exists by the law of survival of the fittest, as well as the most "intelligent."  That is why tigers are not indigenous on every continent; if they were, they would be a lot more prevalent than humans!  Humans have guns, that is the power they have over every beast of this earth--not alleged intelligence.

go to the website for the Natural History Museum in Washington DC.  I took my kids there last year and they have skeletal structures for just about any animal you can think of.  Check it out.

The Amur Tiger isn't really all that powerful in comparison to a Brown Bear:\nhttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3a/Tigerbearpred.jpg\nSpecifically note the part stating:\n"tigers can handle bears, black or brown, of almost their own weight"\n\nThey may predate on fully grown Brown Bears, but still only Brown Bears smaller then themselves (which would only include fully grown females, and subadults), and their ambushing method doens't really appear to give the Bear much of a chance, making it not look much like a fight when the events do occur.\nDue to the fact that male Manchurian Brown Bears (the Bears that live with the Siberian Tigers) average at larger sizes, they would likely be the more dominant and powerful animal, considering that the Tigers don't even really attempt ambushes on them (due to their larger size), despite the tremendous advantage that would give in attempting to kill.\nThe Tiger named Dale, that was reported to predate on "Brown Bears twice it's size", as later mentioned by the Siberian Tiger researcher, Dale Miquelle (who also happens to be the person that Tiger was named after) the mentioning of it predating on Bears twice its size was somewhat of a misquote, due to the fact that despite the fact that he did become a rather succesful predator of Brown Bears, the bears he predated on where not actually twice his size, but rather about the same size as himself, or somewhat smaller, and whoever originally heard about that incident made the assumption that size didn't matter, for some reason, and theirfore mentioned "twice his size", due to the fact that this is how large the Brown Bears can get.\n\nHowever, depending on your definition of predator, the Brown Bear may not quallify for the title, due to the fact that it isn't a strict predator, often feeding on such things as plant roots and berries in the place of killing other animals for food as the Tiger does...making it seem, to me atleast, that the Brown Bear maybe shouldn't really be considered as such.\nIf in your view the Brown Bear isn't a real predator, then it obviously shouldn't be put on the list, though otherwise, they should probably be placed over the Tiger...\nAnd for Brown Bear vs. Polar Bear:\n\n"Four big polar bears -- including three 1,000-pound males with bloody muzzles and yellow-stained fur -- were dining together on whale carcasses at a sand spit about a mile outside the northeastern Alaska village of Kaktovik.\n\nDespite the odor from rotting bowhead and the sound of chomping jaws, the midnight scene at the bone dump along the Arctic Ocean was remarkably peaceful. Recorded as part of a three-year study of polar bear feeding behavior, it showed that these predators were willing to share discarded remains with each other, said federal biologist Susi Miller.\n\nBut then the majestic rulers of Beaufort Sea ice met their match: a scrappy tundra grizzly.\n\nAs Miller and a colleague watched from the cab of a pickup, a small brown bear sow emerged from the darkness and ambled up the spit, trailed by two yearling cubs.\n\nWithout hesitation, the grizzly lunged at the first polar bear, huffing and snarling, driving it into the lagoon. Soon the second, third and fourth polar bears had joined it, leaving the food to a gnarly little bruin about one-third their size."\n\n\n"But the biggest surprise may be the growing number of brown bears crashing the party on Barter Island. And guess who is dominating?\n\n"Out of the interactions that we saw, the brown bears tended to be a lot more aggressive," Miller said. "These brown bears ruled the roost."\n\nAll from:\nhttp://www.adn.com/front/story/6415667p-6294323c.html\n\nIn these wild conflicts, the Brown Bears seem to be dominating despite their smaller size...\n\nThe Bengal Tiger probably deserves mention, and the Jaguar quite possibly does as well.\n\nEDIT: the Killer Whale, despite being i

They did a show on the discovery channel.  Basically in almost all stats a Tiger and a Lion are evenly matched.  If it's a Male lion then he not only has a slight advantage but also his man provided protection.  If it's a female lion then I'd say even odds.

A cute story about a cat:\nMy friend Milan found a homeless kitten. When Milan found her he gave the kitten a stuffed lion (teady bear). The kitten essentially grew up with the lion. Now everytime the cat goes out to play, he takes the lion and puts it face down in his food dish. As if he's feeding the lion!! It's so cute!
