A TIGER KILLS A LION.
Exciting Scenes Incidental to Moving a Menagerie.
Philadelphia Press

"The exodus of nearly 500 tenants from the vicinity of Lehigh avenue and Richmond Street, yesterday, and their departure for Washington last evening, caused no little stir in that usually quarter of the city. The exodusters represented nearly every species in the animal kingdom, from a poll-parrot to Bolivar. "King of the Mastodons," and it was their transfer from the winter quarters of Forepaugh's show to the Centennial siding of the Pennsylvania Road, from which the annual tour of the aggregation was last night begun, that occasioned all this commotion. An unlooked-for tragedy was enacted in the midst of the work of transfer. In the same den were kept two lions and two tigers, separated by a strong wooden partition. To such a pitch of ferocity was one of the tigers stirred by the arrangements for the removal that he threw himself in a very frenzy of rage against the partition, pounced upon one of the lions, and, before the keepers could lift an arm, fixed his fangs deep into the throat of his victim. A torrent of blood gushed forth, and the king of beasts desperately attempted to throw off his assailant, but it was no use; the tiger's grip was death, and almost on the instant the prostrate lion, with a spasmodic effort of head and limbs, fell back cold and stiff. By that time a dozen hands were raining blows upon the head of the ferocious brute, who stood over the slain lion with glaring eyes and blood-dyed jaws, and stunned by the sudden attack he was secured with ropes and dragged into a closed cage."

Article said that it was 2 tigers against one male lion. It's obvious the lion would lose here.

@skulzzhead101 I agree that they are both great hunters and are at the apex of their respective food chain. I DISAGREE completely with your analogy of kings not being challenged. Look into history and you will find almost exclusively every king had a very high turnover rate - assassinations, usurps, you name it. The idea that the mane looks like a crown is, by many, considered a more plausible explanation.

@Aldind2x No its king of the beast because few would challenge him and of course tigers dominate lions there bigger Andd TIGERS ARE GOOD ASS HUNTERS BUT WHO CARES THERE BOTH ON TOP OF THE ANIMAL FOOD CHAIN NOT CLOSE LIKE US BUT THERE BARELY EATIN BY ANOTHER ANIMAL

[dibya123able]

thats true tigers are the ultimate preditors i dont care what the world thinks but for the sake of truth we have to accept that tigers are uncontested

[Aldind2x]

The LION is only named king of the beasts because his mane looks like a crown. THE TIGER CLEARLY is the ultimate cat predator and should be labeled the KING!
