Who wins?

Oh my goodness, I really don't know. I LOVE cats (big, medium and small). Such gorgeous animals. It's a toss in my books.

Poachers should get death penalty.

The penalty on death row should be in a room all alone with a Tiger and meat attached to his body.

In historical accounts where lions and tigers have fought in captivity, the tiger often came out the victor. The most recent account is from in March 2011, where a tiger at the Ankara Zoo attacked a lion through its enclosure and killed the lion with a single paw swipe. "The tiger severed the lion's jugular vein in a single stroke with its paw, leaving the animal dying in a pool of blood", officials said. In 1857, a tiger at the Bromwich Zoo broke into the cage of a lion and a fearful scene ensued: the lion's mane saved his head and neck from being injured, but the tiger succeeded in ripping up his stomach, and within a few minutes he was dead. At the Coney Island Zoo in 1909, a male tiger killed a male lion.

Tigers are bigger,faster and stronger.

Paw swipe is lethal as their bite.

AMAZING

Neither. I'm from Detroit. Our Lions play football and our Tigers play baseball, so they'll never be VS each other.

Tigers duh!!

That simple

For a minute I thought this was going to be an appreciation thread for the orger Lionsandtigers

A Liger

I'd say the tiger would whup the lion's ass big time. Male lions just lie around looking lazy and privileged.

Tigers are fascinating. I'd say tigars. They're solitary hunters so they tend to go for it.

A Liger is a cross between a male lion and a female tiger. Probably never happening in the wild, this event does occasionally occur in captivity. One such creature lives in California, forty minutes outside of Los Angeles at Shambala Preserve.

Because of the unique physiology of male lions and female tigers, ligers often end up much larger than both parents. The converse is true of tigons (offspring of male tigers and female lions).

Ligers usually have the mane of the lion as well as the stripes of the tiger. Unlike lions, but like tigers, they often go swimming in the water.

The liger at Shambala Preserve came to the park in 1998 from a zoo in Illinois. Ironically this is not the first hybrid they've had, but the third. Their first was a female tigon, born in 1978. This tigon had an offspring with a male tiger, informally called a ti-tigon in 1983. Both sadly passed away of cancer.

The current liger at the zoo is called Patrick. Tours are only available at certain times. Check with Shambala Preserve.

UPDATE from one our readers: Patrick the liger has passed away. However, there are two juvenile ligers up here in Northern California at the Barry R. Kirshner Wildlife Foundation near Chico, California. This wildlife preserve is now open the public and the Ligers are MAGNIFICENT! Maya is over 300 lbs already (she may grow to over 2,000 lbs) and still playful like a young cub. I forget the name of the other liger.

I want one, so I can pet it and hug it everyday.

I understood there was a time they use to exist in nature, they just didn't have a good survival rate.

Lion...

But this bad boy would have both for lunch. His name is Hercules.
