ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

[Pckts]

Not to turn this into a Tiger vs Bear thread, this is just in response to Waveriders assesment of a bears advantage over a Tiger.
While at weight parity it will most likely be a coin flip, I give the slightest advantage to a tiger or any big cat of equal size. While I agree a bear is more balanced and capable of wrestling that is not a deal sealer against a big cat. Like it was stated, big cats have better weapons and their claws are dangerous whether on there backs, standing on two or four legs. They can deliver bites from any position and you often seen them going to their sides or backs to deliver a throat bite. So being more stable if true would not neccessarly be an advantage. The other advantage I give to the Cat is this, they are hyper carnivores. They only eat meat, they learn multiple kill attacks and how to conserve or expell energy when a oppening presents it self. But its like splitting hairs, both are obviously capable of defeating the other and it has happened numerous times for both sides.

Just my 2 cents, great info from everybody else, Interesting read.
