  • Tiger = Weight and Strength

    Lion = Fight Experience and technique

    Jaguar = Speed and Stamina

    Overall winner Tiger

  • @jcifv1

    FYI, bitch and beach are different words. Where are you from anyway? You profile says USA, but no native English speaker would confuse a bitch with a beach. The rest of your sentence structure and word usage seems ok though, so I'm confused. Not that it's any of my business, I'm just curious where you come from. As a piece of advice, don't be rude, and people won't be rude to you. Your style is also not consistent with 50yo as it says in your profile. Are you just trolling here?

  • Hey everyone, surprise, the jaguar is the strongest of the big cats. We all know that it has the strongest bite, but, its also the strongest in general.

  • @LraCroft you made a funny mess in the end bro, Cheetah-the fastest* land mammal

  • @nadztar9934 Thats right, how ever the forelimbs of the Lion are less powerful than the Tigers by around 89% at equal weight, The Tiger is like you said, built like a Jaguar, and their limbs are solid and compact, The majority of the Lions weight comes a combination of bodily mechanisms, mainly its chest and belly area, which both contain fat to protect the Lion from disembowelment from strikes, the Tiger has a lower body fat level and more muscle mass also.

  • @11haythem The Bengal Tiger can be just as big, The Bengal Tiger can weigh up to 650 pounds.

  • @S01idsnake well said.

  • The jaguar wouldn't have a chance against the lion or tiger as the size difference is quite large. Yes, the jaguar has the strongest bite force out of all cats, but this alone won't help it defeat either opponent. The cheetah has the speed, but it's body is built for speed, not for strength.

  • The tiger's hind legs are stronger than the lion's, which gives them the advantage to stand on it's legs at hit with their forelimbs. The lion however, is opposite, with stronger forelimbs and weaker hind legs. The tiger has also been known to hunt and kill full grown adult brown bears, while it takes a whole pride of lions to bring down one giraffe. The lion mostly leaves the hunting to the lionesses, but this doesn't mean he never hunts. He also has the responsibility to protect his females.

  • Tigers are trained in fighting almost as much as the lion is. Tigers are solitary animals. Yes, they aren't socialize, but they hunt alone, defend alone, and fight alone. Tigers are more closely built to the jaguar, which has a stocky and muscular build. The skull of the tiger is shorter but broader, giving it a stronger bite force than the lion. It is shorter at the shoulder, but has a longer body. -- still to continue --

  • Tigers are just all muscle and bulk. They dont have the compelling drive or heart to fight like the Lion does. Also Lions dont have "Skinny limbs" they are still muscular and powerful, but slimmer in comparison with the Tiger's. Any way weight/strength may favour the Tiger. But in a fight it comes down to many factors besides that, such as testosterone, experience in battle, and many other factors... Cant we just stop arguing and enjoy both beautiful animals?

  • why wouldnt the cheetah run it can run up to 60mph
