The Lion (Panthera leo) is a mammal of the family Felidae. It is the second largest natural living feline with the exception of the tiger. The male lion, easily recognized by his mane, weighs between 150 and 190 kg (330 lb and 423 lb). Unlike tigers, very few lions exceed 225kg in the wild. The greatest wild lion on record is very large male with a weight of 311kg. Females are much smaller, weighing between 117 and 158 kg (240 lb and 330 lb). In the wild lions live for around 10–14 years, while in captivity they can live over 20 years.\n\n\n\nTigers (Latin: Panthera tigris) are mammals of the Felidae family and one of four "big cats" in the panthera genus. They are predatory carnivores and the largest and most powerful of all living cat species. The Indian subcontinent is home to more than 80% of the wild tigers in the world. Tigers breed well in captivity, and the captive population in the United States may rival the wild population of the world.\n\nMost tigers live in forests and grasslands, for which their camouflage is ideally suited, and where it is easy to hunt prey that is faster or more agile. Among the big cats, only the tiger and jaguar are strong swimmers; tigers are often found bathing in ponds, lakes, and rivers. Tigers hunt alone and eat primarily medium-sized herbivores such as deer, wild pigs, and buffalo. However, they will also take larger or smaller prey on occasion. Humans are the tiger's only serious predator and often kill tigers illegally for their fur. Their bones and nearly all body parts are used in Chinese medicine for a range of purported uses including pain killers and aphrodisiacs. Poaching for fur and destruction of habitat have greatly reduced tiger populations in the wild, and it has been placed on the endangered species list.\n\nAlthough different subspecies of tiger have different characteristics, in general male tigers weigh between 180 and 325 kg (400 lb and 715 lb) and females between 100 and 180 kg (220 lb and 400 lb). The males are between 2.6 and 3.3 metres (8 ft 6 in and 10 ft 9 in) in length, and the females are between 2.3 and 2.75 metres (7 ft 6 in and 9 ft) in length. Of the living subspecies, Sumatran tigers are the smallest, and Amur or Siberian Tigers are generally the largest.\n\n\nTigers have the longest and biggest canine teeth of all the wild cats. A tiger's canines are larger and longer than those of a similar-sized lion. The reason for this is likely due to the habit of preying on large herbivores in its habitat whose bones are thick and large; the tiger's canines have to be strong enough to break the bones of their prey. Moreover, as tigers hunt alone to bring down their prey, they have to work harder than lions, which hunt in groups.\n\n\nigers often ambush their prey as do other cats (including the domestic cat). Tigers overpower their prey from any angle, using their body size and strength to knock prey off balance. Once prone, the tiger bites the back of the neck, often breaking the prey's spinal column, piercing their windpipe, or severing the jugular vein or carotid artery. For large prey, a bite to the throat is preferred. After biting, the tiger then uses its muscled forelimbs to hold onto the prey, bringing it to the ground. The tiger remains latched onto the neck until its prey dies.\n\nPowerful swimmers, tigers are known to kill prey while swimming. Some tigers have even ambushed boats for the fishermen on board or their catch of fish.\n\nIn the wild world, tigers can leap as high as 5 m, and as far as 9 m -10 m, making them one of the highest-jumping mammals, perhaps second only to the puma. They have been reported to carry domestic livestock weighing 50 kg while easily jumping over fences 2 m high. Their forelimbs, heavily muscled, are used to hold tightly onto the prey's and avoid being dislodged, especially by large preys such as gaurs. A single tremendous blow of the paw can kill a full-grown wolf or heavily injure a 150 kg

My cat Sophie.  She's a drama queen, and I can actually hear her creating scenarios in her head.\n\n"I'm a tiger.  Yeah, a tiger.  And I'm in the jungle, and there's a cave.....and I have to investigate the cave....but I have to be very careful because there are hunters around....and they might sneak up on me at ANY MINUTE!"

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.

one tiger cannot take one bear.\nA tiger needs to be able to bite through to some vital part to kill its prey. \nBears have thick hair and very short necks that protect them.  A full grown Cougar has trouble killing a bear cub for that reason.  \n\nso if cougar has trouble with a cub\nI think any full grown cat would have trouble with a full grown  bear.

I am pretty sure that it is a tiger, because I looked on their site, and they have listings of only tigers. I am assuming that they havent updated their site, sothey still list tigers. They do not list lions at all.

I would say Bruce Lee. Big Daddy has the weight behind him but Bruce lee has speed and dexterity - he could 1 inch punch him out! \nThis is hypothetical though as they're both dead - unless someone used a magical resurection spell to bring them back and we could watch their rotting corpes thrash it out!

Cat fight waiting to happen.

Assuming a confined area designed to make them fight.....\n\nThe crocodile easily wins.. It's armour like hide would easily deal with the lions claws, and in a biting contest, the croc wins again.  With large mamals, such as oxen etc crocs cripple thge legs first...hard for a lion to do to a croc!

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

Decades ago I  read of such a match: a lion against a bull.\nThe near-ending: The lion latched onto the bull's tongue and ripped it out.\nThe ending: The bull gored the lion to death.\nPost mortem question (besides the morality of it all):\nWere they matched? The lion weighed 400 lb approx, the bull 1000 lb\nIf the match were in the open, and not in a cage, would the outcome have been different?\n\nBut who would win over the great white shark? Perhaps the giant squid? Let's set up a bout in Madison Square Garden.

The domestic cat is a member of the genus Felis.  Lions and tigers are members of the genus Panthera.  The house cat is as closely related to the lion as it is to the tiger.  \n\nThis rotten forum won't let me draw a picture, so here's the best way I can explain it in text.\n\nImagine you're an only child, but your uncle (father's brother) has two children.  Which of your uncle's children are you more closely related to?  The answer is neither, you are equally related to both of them.\n\nIt's the same here.  Panthera and Felis share a common ancestor many millions of years ago, while lions and tigers only separated a short time ago.
