There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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.

Cut all your crap and post only pics.
To answer your imaginary crap.
Yes tigers do have bigger limb girths than lions (forelimb, hindlimb) Tigers do have higher upperarm to forearm girth ratio than lions. Meaning at equal forearm girth the tigers will still have larger upperarm girth. Lions shoulders appear more pronounced than tigers due to the mane, upright posture, shorter hindlimbs in comparison to forelimbs and its straight back. Regarding lions having stronger body, I dont no where you cooked that up. On average and at maximums tigers have longer body with bigger chest girth, meaning tigers have bigger bodies.
Regarding the muscle composition of these great cats, there arent any studies done except for one which is highly unreliable.
The study is "Fibertype and metabolic characteristics of lion (Panthera leo), caracal (Caracal caracal) and human skeletal muscle".
In that study they used two 2-3 year old female lion cubs (sub-adults). No male lions were used and no adult lions were used. Tigers used is unknown (some said there was only one small tiger cub was used, not sure though). It has very limited samples (2 cubs) and cannot be considered reliable.
Muscle composition should play a role in stamina, but unfortunately there is not much of a difference between these two felids when it comes to stamina.

Now regarding mane.
Tigers have known to attack brown bears, russian boars, sloth bears, asiatic black bears etc all these animals have similar thick and long fur with an added protection of a thick fat layer.

I can disprove and debate on each and every fanatical claims you've made. But its a waste of time.
Follow the forum rules.
If you dont want to be banned, stick to posting your pics and dont bring in any lion vs tiger theme stuff.
If I see one more of your crap like lions have bigger nuts than tigers, lions have stronger whiskers than tigers etc you're done at wildfact.
