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.

If you don´t know weights of these animals from zoo, you can´t say that tiger is heavier. Tigers and lions overlap a lot in weights and these lions can be heavier than those tigers. I don´t know are they, so I don´t say that they are. But you don´t know either. So don´t say like you would. Or have you asked from this zoo weights of these lions and tigers?
I mean the tiger looks bulkier than the lion
Well that is then quite different thing. When I look this video I don´t dare to make estimations because lions look like to be robust individuals and tigers are there on background more. So in this I disagree a bit with you, I don´t see this video too good for comparisons. There are videos, where lions and tigers are in same enclosure and side by side. But problem is always it, that there are bigger and smaller tigers and lions. So in one comparison tiger can look bigger and in another it is lion. It is easy to find captive tigers and lions in weight range 180-250 kg, but heavier than that starts to be much more challenging. Some are, but not too many.
