The lion received a huge clawing in its face and the tiger had one of its leg mauled, both received medical treatment. Reading what the owner said in TikTok both cats usually play with each other since they have been together since birth but this time it was different and something triggered in them a sense of aggression that led to the fight.

Pity that so serious fight in captivity. Also clearly shows how close call these two biggest cats are when they really go for it. Some people like to argue which one is stronger, obviously both are strong enough to kill each others.

 Still even though there are always cuts, when they fight, broken leg is brutal. In wild it would be same as dead tiger. Anyway hopefully these two won´t be kept together anymore :/

They're both youngsters and the Tiger didn't require surgery so I'm sure both could heal on their own.

I don´t believe that broken leg is ok without help. In wild it would be death sentence. In captivity it of course can be healed.

Fractures can heal on their on and do so often, compound fractures are another story.  Sometimes animals will sustain limps and sometimes no . Depends on how the bone heals.

When owner say, that special medical team was needed, it´s quite clear for me. This tiger was lucky to be captive. Bones don´t heal instantly and prey animals won´t pity injured predator by starting to walk so that they can be catched. You are free to have your opinion, I don´t mind.

And the owner shows an antibiotic being shot to avoid infection and sedating the lion to stitch it up.
Tigers have survived in the wild missing a leg, they've broken bones and delt with infections and disease. No one said anything about a bone healing instantly but to think it's a death sentence all the time is not true. Animals can find a way and have done so before.
