Some right. Some wrong. I question the speed. I think their the same. Aggression goes to the lion. They have a pride to protect and their instincts tell them to dominate. The weight depends but tigers are usually 100 or 200 pounds heavier than lions. The Bengal tiger is 50 kilos heavier than Asiatic lion. But other than that, you are right. Tigers have larger canines and have 400 pounds more biteforce.

Do not listen to bigcatsliontiger. He is a lion fanatic. Check his channel.

And on top of that, Siberian Tigers are not even the best fighters when it comes to Tigers.

The Bengal tigers are the best fighters when it comes to Tigers. They have bite force just as great as the Siberian tigers.

They weigh less than Siberian tigers because they have LESS FAT on them. This makes Bengal tigers faster than both Siberian tigers and lions.

Whoever the hell said that the lion is more courageous is an adject moron.

Lions bully and kill creatures that are either much smaller than they are (hyenas, wild hogs, etc...) or creatures that are not armed with the necessary tools to fight back (Zebras, impala, etc...)

Tigers are know to take down bears and such. Siberian tigers are known to regularly kill brown bears.

@bigcatsliontiger I agree with you 100% if you find some old encyclopedias you will find that they say the lion is the largest cat and if you read some of the newer books they are now saying they are even in size and weight all those tiger weights were all guesses and when they started weighing them with scales they realized that the tigers were much lighter than they looked

[spahnman]

Lions are heavier in the siberian tiger project which are the largest tigers they weighed 50 male tigers and the heaviest was 435lb and the aveage was 370lbs and the largest lions which are the south african lions average over 500lbs so get your facts straight and their bite force is the same

You forgot defence > Tick for the Lions protective mane.

Fighting Experience > Tick for Lions who regularly fight packs of Hyena's, Wild Dogs, Leopards, Cheetah's and gangs of Nomad Lions.

The aggression should go to the Lion aswell. Lions are more willing to risk injury fighting because if they are injured they can survive off the kills of other pride members whereas in the wild Tigers really avoid fights.

@LionHeart1990s Yes you're right! Asian Lions live with their parents and when they move out, they live in single bed room condos until their parents arrange marriage with a suitable single lioness. Then the lion lives with the lioness happily ever after raising lots of little lions!

@malikc6 If you say so.

[AzureTape12]

@malikc6 also the speed..definately wrong if we're talking about a male lion. if we're discssing females lion's that could be right but in that case..a female lion vs a male tiger...that'd be over pretty soon : /. and the tiger's speed too Bengals (siberians too) hit about 64 kph. avg.

[AzureTape12]

@malikc6 you're completely right ( Except there are no Asiatic lion's they're all African sourced. and brought there) But despite that Honey Badger & Wolverine > Lion & Tiger <3

[malikc6]

@LionHeart1990s They do but are smaller than African lion prides. African lions may be larger, but the Asiatic lion is still very aggressive.
