I still think Lion is aggressive. Also video state that Lion is 20-30 Kg heavier than Tiger.

These seem to be from same time as those earlier recent ones, it would be interesting to know timeline for different short glimpses from here and there. Anyway again a good video to show how close call. Lion slips in the first place when coming downhill, maybe learned a lesson there which can be seen in later(?) clips in which he stands just fine. Second fall is more because of fight and tiger manages to deliver a bit. Still when I watch this, change seems to happen during 0:20-0:22 when lion claws with hind leg right to the snout of the tiger causing it to stop attacking and making it back off. For me it looks like tiger felt some pain at that moment and became more cautious and less willing to push forward.

 Actually this seems to be the start to some videos which have been shared earlier. At 0:24-0:26 lions claw has penetrated skin of the tiger on chest area and tigers skin is stretched quite a lot. I think, that earlier was shared a video, which was edited so, that the part where tiger was on top was taken off, because some lion fan didn´t want to show that part. And it started just before that clawing to the tigers chest. I don´t understand why, because fight was all the time quite even and lion got up just fine. In these fights it´s natural that situations can change quickly. Still this video explains for me a bit better why that tiger didn´t seem so eager to fight more in the end. That snout clawing couldn´t feel good, it can be seen how lions claws stretch skin of tigers snout and tiger backs off right away. Lion then follows, surprise surprise :)

Interesting fights to watch, it has to be admitted. Upper hands changing in split seconds. Reply
