A male lion vs an unknown equally sized male tiger is on a whole new level.

Because the tiger is also dominant in this case. Sk tiger doesn't give up, and this is the L vs T people look up to.

This is why captive fights aren't that reliable to be considered as a part of this match-up.

What L vs T people look up isn´t important, those people are hopeless fanatics and what they think shouldn´t be taken too seriously. Basically all what there is between lions and tigers are captive fights and for people who are really interested about these interactions every such fight gives something. Sad part is, that these captive fights are often unnecessary and caused by people who don´t care welfare of these animals.

While tiger fanatics make excuse after excuse when seeing an outcome they don´t like and lion fanatics doing just the same it´s clear that from those people no-one can wait any rational opinions or information. It´s that endless yes-no leading to nowhere.

What I seek from these clips are unedited parts and it´s what I recommend to others too. These two "brothers" are familiar, but still they give a glimpse to it, what it is when a lion and tiger fight. They are fair pair, both captive and same size and age overall. Lion has deformed hindlegs, but it can move surprisingly good despite it. 

Anyway lion vs tiger has been debated for a long time, decades, maybe centuries. Fanboy forums won´t come up suddenly with some result ending it and we here won´t be able to do it either. These two and many other captive tigers and lions have showed why. All filmed fights are very even. In some cases lions gain upper hand and in some tigers and things can change so quickly. It´s no wonder that endless yes-no game between fanatics will continue in future too. There is no conclusive answer available. Every fight is different fight and one lion winning here or tiger there means nothing in bigger picture.

This is of course how I see it. I wrote this in hope, that people who are interested would search information with open mind and avoiding people, who start sentences: "Lions always" or "tigers always"... That is what I have learned with time. Reply
