33. THE CATS OF SHAMBALA 1985 By Tippi Hedren and Theodore Taylor Page 176, tigers are the original scaredy-cat. Although most ferocious under certain conditions, adults are scared silly over numerous odd things. Thunder and Lightning which a lion takes in stride, panics a tiger. Silver reflectors scare tigers, if you want to take over a room full of tigers walk in wearing a silver suit. In the movie ROAR a big siberian tiger name ivan backs down from a tiny lion cub. Tippi Hedren is a former actress that has lions and tigers and other animals on her compound in Acton, Ca.
34. Animal Planet team of zoologist enthusiast and scientist, concluded the lion would win in a fight with a tiger…

35. Interesting read on Dr.Sc Giuliano Russini view on Lions and Tigers.

…African lion presents phenomena of aggressiveness which, contrary to what is thought render it more dangerous in the wild than the tiger and more difficult to manage in captivity, as observed by the zoological biologists… This caused by overheating corporeal overheating phenomena, is in fact a handicap in case of prolonged fights, drawback not found in the lion who, as they say, “will struggle up to the death”.Same can be said for the fighting techniques, which all stand in favour of the Panthera leo ,accustomed, as it is, to face in the savannah a great variety of preys and competitors, in comparison with the solitary tiger…

36. Circuss owner an big cat owner Geroge conklin say’s lion’s are stronger in term’s of pure power.

37. Randy miller favor’s a lion against a tiger in a fight.
38. Craig busch favor’s a lion over a tiger in a fight.
39.Lion’s have harder strike’s, shown in this clip hitting a bigger and hevier tiger the mane dosent weigh that much, it’s just very thick an dense hair an by the size of the tiger, his mass look’s even the same size of the lion’s mane, concluding the tiger is hevier an the lion still outpower’s him by bashing him with the usual haymaker’s lion’s throw, in the same instance the tiger threw first, yet the lion’s more powerful strike’s goes right threw the tiger’s attempt for a double strike which they usually use to grab , but the lion strike’s with such percsion an power he bashes the tiger so hard, he completely fliped the tiger on his back a meter away…

40. Lion’s are stronger in the front limb’s there bigger, taller, broader and stronger shoulder’s aid’s them in being better fighter’s an out wrestle’s tiger’s…

41. Pound for pound lion’s are way stronger than tiger’s, this lion look’s bigger but it’s only because of the mane, both lion and tiger are about the same size, yet he still hit’s harder, also chasing off the competition as they usually do, due to dominant trait’s of the male lion…also proving a lot of expert’s correct as tiger’s only throw wildly not accurately, in this fight the tiger misses 6 time’s an mostly all other fight’s tiger’s always’s miss more than 50% fighting a lion, here…

42. people like to use this video as the tiger is winning? It only prove’s what 80% of animal trainers an expert’s say…which is tiger’s are explosive fighter’s an tire themselve’s out quickly aiding there poor stamina, but how many time’s did the tiger land any thing at all? Let’s count them 1st lunge, barly nips the mane…which lunge’s cost energy…2nd lunge, misses which cost energy…3rd lunge misses…which cost’s energy, By doing so the lion is only using superior fighting tactic’s of dodging because they hardly clinch as tiger’s do, This video prove’s the other video^^^ that tiger’s have very poor accurate swipe’s more of just swinging wind mill’s along with the end every swipe is absorbed by the mane as the tiger must reap what hit’s his head area…
http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/6757/511ak4.gif
43. 80% of swipe or bite is protected by the mane, as you can see the mane protect’s bite’s that can usually add up on a tiger, yet it has no effect on the lion in terms the lion can completely focus what he is doing which is draging around and mauling the tiger, which in the big cat fight world, every bite count’s…

44. Even when the tiger is bigger lion’s have stronger front limb’s shown here a smaller lioness out fighting and out powering a bigger tiger…

47. But to get back to the lions and tigers, apparently it is a very hard thing to put lions and tigers together. I read that scientists say that lions have the strongest forelegs of the big cats, and they have a knack to being more ferocious. Even though tigers are heavier and longer, it’s ferocity that determines a winner. Lions have all the equipment of a fighter with huge forelegs, the mane, and the stocky body. Because of the mane the male lion is a poor predator. He however has a fierce desire to defend his territory. They have been known to kill or drive off rhinos. The tiger is nervous around a male lion and cat trainers have said that this has caused problems in zoos and circuses.
The same trainers have mostly said that the male lion appears to have no fear of the tiger even in a large group of tigers. The big cat trainer Clyde Beatty lost 12 tigers to lions and didn’t lose a single lion. He once had a tiger and lion fighting in a live performance and tried to stop it he couldn’t and the lion went on to maul the tiger to death in front of all these people. He also had a lion he called Sultan the First and he beat ever male tiger he ever faced.

53. . lion defeats tiger to rescue man

“The ferocity of the tiger’s disposition has been exaggerated; but although capable of being made quite gentle, they are unreliable in their habits, and apt at any instant to attempt the gratification of a blood-thirsty disposition. Keepers of menageries, however much confidence they may feel in the friendship of the “king of beasts,” are always nervous about the tiger, and cautious in their movements. We think it was Van Amberg who was unexpectedly set upon by a tiger, when the lion came to his rescue, and actually threw the tiger down, and held him fast until the man escaped.”

“The lion is the king of among beasts in other ways than in looks. I once put a big tiger in a cage with a lion, chaining the lion but giving him slack enough to stand up and turn around. It was a night parade and the red fire was burned on the top of my wagon and the animals became greatly excited. The tiger pounced on the lion but I stopped the battle with the stool upon which I had been setting. Later the fight was renewed, the lion knocking the tiger down five times.”

Don’t you dare.

*Lions and tigers each have their strengths, and “the outcome of a given fight completely depends on the individuals: their history, fighting style and physiology,” said Craig Saffoe, a biologist and the curator of great cats at the Smithsonian Zoo in Washington, D.C.

“But if I had to put my money on it I would give the advantage to the tiger,” Saffoe told Life’s Little Mysteries*

“What I’ve seen from tigers, they seem to be more aggressive; they go for the throat, go for the kill,” Saffoe said. "Whereas the lions are more, ‘I will just pound you and play with you.’

:(:o:mad::eek:

Saffoe eh? well hes intitled to his opinion because its not a garentee for any side…but when he makes out-landish claims that a lion is all play than thats just showing hes a bias chump… if you may can you get this mook of a biologist email? I’ll email him s good sum of my data along with a few more accounts I added to my list of death accounts…

26.Clyde beatty’s circus act Ceasar the lion kill’s bobby the tiger.
“Down sprang Caesar, determined to seize the offensive, but before he could do so, Bobby had battled his way through Caesar’s paws, grabbed his mane so stubbornly that he couldn’t move. For the next couple of minutes each struggled and strained for an advantage, but Bobby’s hold was so tenacious that they only succeeded in twisting a little. With the cameras continuing to grind and getting nothing but a little harmless tug of war… Energy spent, the exhausted Bobby tried to roll away from Caesar, but Caesar’s hold now was as firm as Bobby’s which had been on his mane. Seeing this turn in affairs, I dashed into the cage. Already Caesar’s jaws had crunched Bobby’s neck and when I got there Caesar was shaking Bobby’s limp, bloody head and throat from side to side. Bobby’s eyes were turning starey. He was dead and it was only two minutes since I was keenly sorry that I had done it, but in thinking it over I became convinced that my part had been negligible. The lion is frequently the superior; he doubtless would have been the winner in this case no matter what I had done.”

38. The lion also is protected around the neck by the heavy mane, which is an advantage. There is one instance I remember where a full grown lion and very large tiger engaged in combat, by unforeseen chance of course. It was when the John O’ Brien Show had its winter quarters in Philadelphia and I was connected with it. “A lion and a tiger were in a compartment cage, with a partition between. In some manner this partition was battered down in the night and the two big fellow’s got together. They had probably been issuing challenges to each other and promising what they would do to one another if the chance came. When morning arrived we found the two in the lion’s cage, the tiger dead and the lion all chew and clawed to pieces, but still full of fight.”

NEW YORK. Nov. 2. -Tradition that the tiger is a better animal then the lion in a fight has been disproved as Sr. Nicholas Garden, where one of the biggest striped denizens of the Bengal jungles is suffering from rips and tears inflicted upon him by one of the late king of the South Africa forests. The press agent did not give this story out. Probably he would lose his job if he had, for Bostock is careful to suppress any news tending to show that his animals ever exhibit sanguinary instincts when in the arena. The two big cats in question were brought together several days ago to become familiarized with each other for purposes of a contemplated act in the show ring. The tiger walked nervously up to the lion and began rubbing his nose over the latter’s haunches. A low growl was the response. But when the tiger inserted his teeth in the lion’s mane, Leo uttered a roar, unmasked his ivories and crouched. The tiger retreated a few feet and then sprang high in the air, intending to come down on the lion. But Leo deftly side-stepped and when the tiger alighted he grabbed it by the head. A twisting of the teeth and a large section of the tiger’s face, including one eye, was gone. The trainers and attendants now tried to separate the beasts, which for several minutes rolled over and over each other, snarling, roaring, biting and scratching. Finally they were separated. The tiger, mutilated and bleeding, cowered in a corner, while the lion was defiant in another.

…I seen a african lion maul our adolescent male Siberian tiger to death. The adolescent was a year old. It is extremely sad that these fights are used for entertainment but at the same time I was awed to see one lion defeat two large tigers with all 3 animals in the cage at the same time.
-My teammates and I were transporting a male African Lion into a cage neighboring a Bengal Tigers cage in Kenya. There was a small opening in between the two cages for intermingling of neighboring animals. It was supposed to be closed at the time but someone forgot to close it. The lion sprang from the transportation container through the opening and mauled the tiger of similar size. We tranquilized the lion but it was too late. Two days later, the tiger died due to fatal wounds. It was a very one sided fight where the lion spent much time chasing the tiger.

57. But to get back to the lions and tigers, apparently it is a very hard thing to put lions and tigers together. I read that scientists say that lions have the strongest forelegs of the big cats, and they have a knack to being more ferocious. Even though tigers are heavier and longer, it’s ferocity that determines a winner. Lions have all the equipment of a fighter with huge forelegs, the mane, and the stocky body. Because of the mane the male lion is a poor predator. He however has a fierce desire to defend his territory. They have been known to kill or drive off rhinos. The tiger is nervous around a male lion and cat trainers have said that this has caused problems in zoos and circuses.
The same trainers have mostly said that the male lion appears to have no fear of the tiger even in a large group of tigers. The big cat trainer Clyde Beatty lost 12 tigers to lions and didn’t lose a single lion. He once had a tiger and lion fighting in a live performance and tried to stop it he couldn’t and the lion went on to maul the tiger to death in front of all these people. He also had a lion he called Sultan the First and he beat ever male tiger he ever faced. There are 3 films that have been made about fights between a male lion and male tiger and in all three the lion won. ‘Lion-Tiger Fight’, 1930’s, Castle Films (16 mm) is a short documentary about a fight between a lion and a tiger which occurred during an expedition to capture some tigers in the Gir region of India (The only place where you can find lions and tigers living together).

… in the other message board where you posted this?

Nothing much really, just happen to document what I found peice by peice it dident take all that long either…it was more so just to match a previous website…though that web site was exploited to be a sham, balone, lies, fakes an repeats so when he was confronted he shut his site down. An so with all the data having a data (Bank) accumilating…free time had just the acculmilation on the list being every catagorie is quite intresting to read up on…its rarly consesed an discussed on…or at-least I rarly discuss it with any one.

lol

In academics or otherwise?

Well, you’ve certainly been reticent about it here.

Purely educational…no academics needed. More so enthusiast. :slight_smile:

I mean apart from this " Lion vs Tiger" subject, do you have other interests, where you devote time and effort?

As of previous… Grounds keeping, kinda like the jack of trades, I have to do electrition work, gardening, secerity, roofing, erogation an maintaining beautification of 200 propertie home lands per month…I’m on a break though…wanna get back to diving an surfing…gotta buckle down this month, lot of big things comin my way…but yeah mate…its kinda late…I’ll be off now…take it easy.

Aloha nuis :slight_smile:

All good things must come to an end.:frowning:

Sigh…

NOOOOO!!! I must see more about this topic. I demand more cites! You have not made your case, My Lord.

I think you should repost your list of cites of 800 pound lions, with the frivolous ones removed. Some of them just link to pictures. A picture of the MGM lion is not a cite for sore eyes, or 800 pound lions.

See, finally someone who gets it. This whole “tigers are better than lions” propaganda is such a pack of lies! My kids, even my kids, think a tiger could destroy a lion in a swipe or two of its paws. They fail to look at the actual data that’s out there and see that a lion is far superior to tigers.

The public in general is being fooled by these Tigerists and I’m just so sick of it all. What has this world come to?

Well we are still looking for some evidence of the anti-Tigerist point of view. Some cites of actual fights between Lions and the apparently superior Tiger would be useful. It’s one thing to speak about a hypothetical cage fight, but if **My Lord **wants to get his point across he’s going to have to provide some proof. I don’t think the few examples he’s provided are sufficient. I’d like to see some in depth research into this subject.

Oh? Okay…I actually found a better picture of that lions whole body you can see it in the list…I also found another 850 pound lion named Rhino on the bottom of the list…thanks to a freindly zoo keeper who pointed it my way…

Oh hey… maybe you could schedule in some time to drop by my house - I’ve got some electrition work that needs to be done. Nothing too difficult - just a re-wire of the house. Also, my garden needs erogation. What do you charge?

I can pay you the Lion’s share of the cost up front…

I’ll concede we simply need more research and study of this issue. The cites here so far are really scant and paltry (but not for lack of effort on part of the OP). OTOH, I think even a simple comparison of a lion’s binocular ratio to that of a tiger’s gives it an advantage in optical sensory and higher awareness of its surroundings than a tiger. I’ll confess, I’m a hard-core Lioninst (we call ourselves “Prides” or Priders"). But the tiger wouldn’t even be able to sneak up on a lion in the wild.

And this is nothing to say of it’s unique mane that protects the lion’s main arteries from the vicious tiger bite. This is leaving out the lioness, but if the male survives, it’s not an issue.

The tiger’s all aggression, no finesse. A Tyson to Mohammad Ali, if you will.
