{Lion VS Tiger} What Would Happen If a Lion Fought a Tiger?

Although combat experience would give veteran lions prowess,
the social nature of these cats may ultimately be their biggest weakness in a
brawl with a tiger. According to the Lion Research Center at the University of
Minnesota, coalitions of two to three male lions usually fight as a group
against territorial rivals, but tigers always go it alone. This difference
affects the two cats' instincts.

"What I've seen from tigers, they seem to be more
aggressive; they go for the throat, go for the kill," Saffoe said.
"Whereas the lions are more, 'I will just pound you and play with you.'
Lions can maybe afford to play around a bit more because they've got backup
with other lions. Tigers can't. Maybe they are conditioned through their
evolution never to depend on help from anyone else and always to go for the
quick kill."

It's that ruthlessness that gives tigers the edge more often
than not. 

Before we call it quits, might as well throw a few other
cats into the ring. How would a South American jaguar fare against a lion or
tiger? What about a leopard or cheetah? 

By Saffoe's reckoning, the big cats rank as follows: it's a
toss-up between tigers, jaguars and lions at the top, and following them, in
order of higher to lower rank, would be leopards, cougars, snow leopards and
cheetahs. "The most intriguing match-up would be a good size Bengal tiger
and a good-size male jaguar, because both those animals have about the same
temperament, speed, size and strength," he said.

The leopard holds the wild card. "Don't count leopards
out. They're small but very powerful and capable fighters," Saffoe said.
"Who knows, a leopard might turn into a whirling dervish and rip up a lion
or tiger."
