Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

@Shadow @paul cooper ...

In short, I believe that animals never stop to measure each other. When I say it's blatant that a tiger has bigger front limbs, any lion confronted by a tiger must think "this guy has really very powerful paws !". And thus, it will not seriously get involved in a fight agains a tiger. But it is going to bluff it by intimidating it. And if the tiger chooses to retreat, the lion starts to eat immediately.

The balance of power between lions and tigers is very thin. Instinctively, the lions knows how far to push it without starting a real fight. And perhaps the tiger in front of its determination drops it, gives up, IMO.

Paul Cooper: the video you posted has been posted in the " Zoos, Circuses, Safaris; A Gallery of Captivity " thread at the #1445
