Between the two most famous felines, the king of the forest would win. But the match can only happen in a zoo. In nature they can never meet.

Agile and magnificent. The lion (Panthera leo) and the tiger (Panthera tigris) are the undisputed protagonists of the animal world. Both belong to the category of predatory mammals of the large family of Felids. But if they were to face each other, who would win?

VERY FAR. By making an identikit of the two animals we find that the lion would have more chances of winning. However, under natural conditions, the pair do not have much opportunity to challenge themselves, because they mostly live on different continents. Lions are widespread in sub-Saharan Africa and in a small area of ​​India; while tigers live in Asia. Let's find out the differences between the two "lords" of the animal kingdom.

DIMENSIONS

The tiger is the largest of the Felids: up to 3.5 meters long, it weighs over 300 kg. The lion stands an average of two meters and weighs 200-250 kg: 1 to 0 for the tiger.

ATTACK

The lion has an anatomical advantage, also due to its particularly muscular and strong front legs: a deadly weapon with which it delivers powerful blows. Tiger paws in themselves do not represent a weapon. Leo dominates: 1 to 1.

instinct

The lion is more instinctively prepared to fight because his job is to protect the herd from enemy attacks. Meanwhile, the tiger is a solitary animal that attacks for food. The striped cloak helps camouflage it for surprise attacks. Draw, so we are 1 to 1.

PROTECTION

The attack happens in the same way: with a jump they jump on the victim and bite him on the neck. But the lion's thick mane, blond or black in color, apart from making him look bigger (instilling fear), protects him from bites. 2 to 1 for the lion.

Versatility

The strength of the tiger's hind legs allows for a more agile sprint and spectacular leaps, which the lion is unable to perform. Both reach speeds of 80 km/h. Tiger prevails: 2 to 2.

STRATEGY

Leo is calm and focused. Nervous and instinctive, the tiger therefore has an inferior capacity to evaluate the opponent compared to the lion, who is more likely to actually prevail.

FINAL SCORE: LION BEAT TIGER 3 – 2.
