Lion vs Tiger

I’m sorry you feel that way My Lord, but the Ho Style, Rhoda-Lion with a worthless penis cannot win the day.

An I’m sorry you made your self look stupid. :wink:

Basically 14K views lol Just 2K more an that Sticky thread is going down! lol

The tiger because he has to hunt for his meal. Male lions only fight with each other.

OK My Lord, can you do this research for me then: what about Tigon vs. Liger?

This is a little unfair, TriPolar. It would be difficult for My Lord to collect data of fights between Mountain Lions and Tigers, given that mountain lions inhabit the Americas and tigers are confined to Asia. This simply is not something that would occur in natural circumstances, so you can’t fault My Lord for not finding examples of this. He did provide a cite for a Mountain Lion pwning a jaguar, which is the closest thing you’ll find to a tiger in the Americas.

But the point you are implying is certainly valid: what is needed here is a comprehensive meta analysis comparing ALL species of lions and tigers.

With all due respect to My Lord, he did not really answer the question. He merely acknowledged that indeed lions do have poor family values, but rationalized this by saying that humans have and still do behave in the same intolerable way. No argument there, I just think we can expect more from the lion community. The males need to start helping with the cubs and doing half of the hunting. And the family should all eat together, at the same time.

Shagnasty, your logic is all wrong. As My Lord pointed out, size is not everything when it comes to winning a fight. If size was all that mattered, then these peoplewould take over the world.

Why is no one else catching this?

Lion is the badest animal on the planet !!

No, not even close. We are talking about the players in the minor leagues here. A hippopotamus will destroy any animal discussed in this thread and not even think twice about it. Lions and hippos live in the same range. People like lions because they are pretty but you never want to get mixed up with a hippo and lions know that. I would like to see some cites on lion versus hippo fights. You can’t do the math on the percentage wins because division by zero may cause the universe to explode.

I think that My Lord’s 2003 computer must have finally crashed. If he had internet access, I am certain that he would be providing numerous cites of lions annihilating hippos. There is a reason that Hippos are not referred to as King of the Beasts.

Reader’s Digest concluded that the common shrew is the meanest animal on earth decades ago.

A key responce of early on posting to Tri-Polars gesture of Clyde beatty…I figure I show a little more on clydes credability of his quote here…Mr. Clyde Beatty, said lions will win 9/10 against tigers in a fight.

as stated he was giving his opinion upoun experince of well over 40 years of this…
http://wildanimalelite.yuku.com/topic/560/The-God-Father-Animal-Trainer-Clyde-Beatty
…which as you can see ^^^ he had the biggest (Mix) acts of lions and tigers in modern history, so his opinion should have a little higher weight to it, not to mention the media who documented all the casualties of his accidental lion and tiger fights, which apperently ended in the victor usually going to the lion…here some are in chronological order…

I think on a specific note, I think Clyde is as creditable as it gets…he often captured wild lions and tigers “himself” so most would have been as close as it gets in terms of there own accord, they fought basically on there own terms lunge-ing when they see’d fit…not so much like a pit fight where there would be less of there inner ambitions come-ing into play.

Hmm? I just noticed when I did the different cultrual dipliction’s, there was really not at all that much…lol, no new com yet to have something substantialy larger in terms of data, but I can at-least show a better profounding evidential substance that covers more on a specific cultruals preserving in its historical documentation…which is the Romans…

~Carl Borromäus Andreas Ruthart
Died in Rome L’Aqulia
Born the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, Carl Borromäus Andreas Ruthart travelled to Italy very early on. His trace can be found in Rome and Venice between 1652 and 1659. After finishing his apprenticeship, he came to work in Antwerp in order to perfect his knowledge.
After going into the Church, he continued to paint a great number of profane subjects threw life held experinces such as extensive hunting scenes or animals fighting. It was only late in life, after retiring to a convent in the Abruzzo region, that Ruthart dedicated himself to celebrating the life of hermits and saints at prayer.

#8“The amphitheatre had grown so still, that the clear melody of the flute was distinctly audible over the whole vast space. As soon as the disturbance ceased, the king of the beast, apparently untroubled by the new visitor, returned to his food. But the cowardice, peculiar to nocturnal beasts in the daylight, awoke in the tiger. He beheld in the shrieking multitude friends of the flute-player, and seeing the lion eating, seized the nearest piece of meat. But with a single bound the lion sprang forward, roaring loudly, to defend his property. The tiger’s claws clutched the lion’s and a fierce struggle began. The lion aimed terrible blows at his antagonist, which the tiger avoided with marvelous skill; the tiger’s teeth seized the lion’s mane, but at the same instant the latter tore off with his claws from the upper part of the tiger’s head half the skin, from which an eat and a broad trail of blood upon the sand, the tiger returned to his cage, where he howled piteously. The grating was raised, and soon only a faint whining was audible. Either the animal was dying, or the keepers had stupefied him to be able to cure him. The lion stood fiercely over his prey, which no one now disputed.”

#14Another mosaic in the House of the Faun , now badly damaged, showed a lion standing over a prostrate tiger.
Now," whispered Marcus, " the charm is broken ;" and at the same instant, the lion was seen bounding towards him with prodigious leaps. This time he swerved not as before from his course, and in an instant he was seen crouching quietly at the feet of the old man. A pause of astonishment held the spectators breathless for an instant; then “A miracle! a prodigy.!” burst from a thousand tongues, in every part of the amphitheatre.
The Emperor liked not this; and at a private signal from him a tiger was turned out upon the arena. The lion instantly recovered his fierceness—his loud, deep roar sounded like thunder—his mane bristled, and his eye flashed fire. The tiger came leaping towards them, but was instantly met by the ravenous lion. The contest was fierce, but it was short. The short snarl of the tiger was heard, mingling with the deep roar of the lion—now they appeared like two wrestlers erect, and closely embraced in their desperate struggles —and now rolling together upon the. sand, and half buried under the cloud that their struggles raised about them. There was sudden leaping back and forth, as each tried to gain some advantage in a new attack. Gradually however the contest seemed becoming less violent; and as the cloud of sand subsided, the lion

was seen standing over the prostrate tiger, his teeth buried in his throat, from which he was evidently draining the blood to satisfy his ravenous appetite; while the tiger, by the feebleness of his occasional struggles, which gradually became only convulsive efforts, and terminated in what appeared a mere spasmodic shiver of the limbs, showed how complete was the victory of his foe. The emperor would gladly have ordered fresh beasts to be turned in; but the clamor of the superstitious mob was so loud, that the emperor, who was unwilling to give offence to the people so soon upon his first visit, thought proper to consent. “It is the will of the gods—it is the will of the gods!” was shouted on every side. The Emperor yielded reluctantly to the will, not of the gods, but of the people, and the old man was removed unharmed.
The spectacle closed. The people rose—while the Emperor retired, and the confused hum and noise of a retiring crowd was heard.
For my own part, I involuntarily exclaimed, as the old man was led safely away “I thank the gods for this!”

Von bubna und littitz

Von wo der larm zu ihm drang, dorthin ritt er schnell,
Auch wenn sein pferd scheute und saumte.
An dem tosenden ort rang ein lowen im duell,
Der sich im kampf gegen zwei tiger aufbaumte

Einem gegen Zwei man helfen musste,
Sprach er, griff flink zur lanze und hehr,
Eh das ungetrum von ihm wusste
Stieb er in einen der tiger den speer

das epos setzt nach den etablierten regeln ahnlich romantischer Ereignisse fort
herman eilt, nachdem er den ersten tiger erlegt hatte, dem lowen im kampf mit dem zweiten tiger zu hilfe, nur dass der lowen in der zwischenzeit den tiger totet und sich aus dankbarkeit, uber und uber mit blut bedeckt, seinem retter zu fuben legt. Bubna wascht und reinigt dessen wunden besteight darauf

By Bubna and Littitz

Where the larm reached him, there he rode quickly,
Even when his horse shied and saumte.
At one place the roaring lions wrestled in the duel,
In the fight against two term aufbaumte

Two against one had any help,
Speech he attacked, nimbly lance and sublime,
Eh the ungetrum he knew
Stieb it into a term of the spear

the epic is similar to the established rules on romantic events
herman hurries after he had killed the first term, the lions in the battle with the second term to help, except that the lions in the meantime kills the tiger and is covered from gratitude, over and over with blood, his savior sets fuben to. Bubna washes and cleans the wounds besteight out

A TIGER roaming for his prey,
Sprang on a traveller in the way;
A lion came to claim the prize
And soon the greedy tiger dies.
The man then knelt, his life to crave;
His life the lion hero gave,
And him bespoke,—" You saw the fight
And must confess my power and might,
Within these woods I reign alone,
All other beasts my sway must own."
“True,” said the man, "the strength 1 saw, All kinds of beasts full well might awe,

35.No body doubted his courage in the ancient world and the romans thought him a brave and noble animal…in amphitheaters he always fought with style that gave credit to the desert…a tiger run an flees beofre the lion

We did this years ago (Surprise!). I can’t search, so I’ll repeat a real-life incident at the San Francisco Zoo/ Both species are oused in an old building with a maze of sliding gates used to get an animal from one area to another.
One day, some idiot opened one gate before closing another, and adult males were facing each other.If you think about how each cat is built and how each kills, the outcome is foregone.
But, for the record: By the time they got the two apart, there was not much left of the tiger.
The tiger sprints, runs down its prey, and kills with a bite through the neck. The lion charges head on and keeps it head back - using those tree-trunk fore legs to shred the opponent.

The tiger, trying to bite an adult lion’s neck, gets a mouthful of mane. A lion charging a tiger head-on gets a soft belly - the tiger’s legs are great for quick sprints, but are useless as weapons (except against drunk asshole humans, as Tatiana demonstrated. Still miss her)

I got this story from a zookeeper who was present at the time. We got to chatting because he was assigned to keep people away from the small cat section because they had just spayed a cougar and didn’t want her stressed. As I was the only one who came by that hour, we got to chatting (and he let me in - I love the small cats - esp. the Snow Leopards).

Pro tip: now that cameras (yes, they’re film, but that’s not likely to ne noticed for our purposes) are dirt cheap, buy a large bagful and carry it with you - many people, when they figure you’re a serious photographer, will cut you some slack as to getting into off-limit areas.

So as you can see, there is a bit more covering Rome’s history of who they recorded winning more often then the other post, so I guess I’ll add more to India’s list as well, for again, there wasent all that much an this ought be a bit better in terms of quanity an quality for india…

Kailash sankhala mentions a crazed prince that had a fight with a lion an tiger an the lion killed the tiger

http://carnivoraforum.com/topic/9348622/2/

Not quite as much as I could get but an intresting read non the less…quite hard for some placements for some are Inidan artifacts that are drown in india by british, or vice versa, of a Inidian that did work out of india…so its placements are quite daunting.

Quite intresting, though I do not think the tiger died in that incident, I belive it was wittnessed by Carol sue hoo… a lion passed his prime named Tuffy had charged a prime 6 year old male siberian tiger named Nick or nicholas an had a death grip, with out hesitation Carol shot the lion dead. An the tiger survived…I think, not much confromation was sought out if the tiger died, though if you have any information that helps with credability, via email or snap shot of the conversation with your friend that would be cool…

But here, this might be the one you speak of…

It was published in the 60’s so the rarity of your conversation would be submiting a better credability to its article. But other than that the article speaks for it self in showing it is fair game in terms of age, they dont live pass 6-8 in the wild that often, because of high moralitys of colide-ing prides an fighting off nomads. So 6-8 is usually there prime years, 2-3 is a juvi an 4 should be adult hood, 12 is a bit old-ish but still a worthy contender I suppose because 20 is the max, being it was a “siberian tiger” an a male. an Tuffy also sounds like a female name, wouldent you say? But I think it was a male.

Hmm? I think there might be 3 sanfricisco incidents, I’ll go check if they were all the same or if they were mentioning the same account in different time eras.

Bump to help get to 300.

You mean 400? lol long time no hear eh, I think the roman one being as old as they are will have fade-ing impliments, but they sure are one of the most brought up ones…being the romans intice the world with there brutal blood sports, not to say others havent any just saying they emit it rather well.

Just for laughs I seen what rank ths thread had on the bottom of the menu in “my humble opinion” catagorie an at least it made the first page, its like 50th place in the view range but ateast it beat like what 80,000 other topics in terms of views, thats werid right? But no way it will make the top 10 they have like 300,000 views lol It seems most forums who brings up this topic has the world as a standard to look into it…inticeing in which animal would win when the steaks are so close being that lion an tigers are so similar its almost like a german vs a russian or a jamaican vs a african or a japanese vs a chinese lol but I’ll try an find that san fran one, I’m sure I seen multiple articles from that reigon about a fight with a tiger an lion.

But I gota hit the road, so I’ll catch you all laters. :slight_smile:
