To add one remark to things, I think that many see it so, that killing a big cat demands grappling and it´s often seen in serious fights. Same time there is for instance one situation from Turkey where allegedly a tiger managed to hit perfectly right spot with one swipe and kill a lion. I have always had some doubts about that case, no photos, no nothing ever from there. But if it´s possible, then logical thing to think is, that any big cat can be killed with swipe if hitting the right spot with claws.

This just to show how these things can be speculated and many different opinions can´t be avoided.

If we look back at the history of all big cat fights that we've seen, have we ever seen a Cat lucky enough to kill the other with a single swipe?
Then adding to that fact is that we cannot even get any information on where it actually happened, images of either cat, sex of each, etc.
My guess would be some foul play and a cover up, maybe the Lion was killed due to mismanagement and it's easier to blame the Tiger, obviously that's just a guess, I don't know for sure. Reply
