Saw a video of a tiger vs a crocodile on the banks of a river a few years back. Surprisingly enough the tiger killed the crocodile (tiger was too fast for the crocodile to grab).
.
Christ don't mess with tigers. Seems not to be an isolated incident a few different tigers taking on crocs in this..
first one on land its like something out of durasic park. Towards the end a tiger is taking on a croc ion the water !
WARNING a bit grisley

Now tiger vs a honey badger - that is a fight I'd pay to see, though I pity the poor tiger.
Have to say I think it would be very messy, Honey Badger is bulletproof!!http://www.badassoftheweek.com/honeybadger.html This makes interesting reading and the video is very neat!

Tigers are generally a fair bit bigger IIRC.
No not quite, the Bengal and the Amur(Siberian) Tigers are bigger than Lions, but not by much. But the Bengal and the Amur are just two of the 6 extant subspecies of Tiger with the other 4 being smaller than Lions, in fact the Sumatran tiger is not much bigger than a Leopard.
So 'Generally' Lions are bigger if you see what I mean!

I guess that is why they are kept so far apart....
Do you mean in Zoo's or in the Wild??The Asiatic Lion 'Panthera leo Persica' is now only found in the wild in the Gir forest in India, tiger country, if the damn poachers didn't kill them all!
As for the clip I can only guess what it shows as I'm not going to watch it.

I think 50 kilos is not 'not much'But the Bengal and the Amur are just two of the 6 extant subspecies of Tiger with the other 4 being smaller than Lions, in fact the Sumatran tiger is not much bigger than a Leopard.

, I would say generally Tigers are still bigger since you go off the biggest of the species.That Liger is fantastic

If it's which is Bigger a Tiger or A Lion then yes there are bigger Tigers than Lions I wouldn't disagree., I would say generally Tigers are still bigger since you go off the biggest of the species.That Liger is fantastic
But 'Generally' implies across the whole in which case if you averaged out the size of all 6 extant Tigers subspecies and compared to the 2 extant Lions subspecies the Lions are 'Generally' bigger.
It's pedantic point I'll grant you.

Oh it's okay, I love debating pedantic points;)But 'Generally' implies across the whole in which case if you averaged out the size of all 6 extant Tigers subspecies and compared to the 2 extant Lions subspecies the Lions are 'Generally' bigger.

I did check wiki, it say's there are 8 Lion subspecies, I haven't the time to read it all though

Siberian Tiger vs Polar Bear?
The true heavy weight battle!
Do you watch QI? In one episode they discussed when sad fThe true heavy weight battle!
ks actually did put bears up against cats
. It was a Brown bear versus a Lion, the bear won every time because the Lions skull was too thin, and the bear possesed too much power.Edited by Halb on Tuesday 8th March 13:46
