Comparing Cats: A Discussion of Similarities & Differences

[parduscat]

Hmmm, based on the photos on this thread, it seems that Bengal tigers have much more muscled forearms compared to that of their lion counterparts, as well as slightly more developed hind legs as well.  Makes sense I suppose, the lion is far more cursorial than a tiger and so is going to be more adapted for a leaner taller build that allows for endurance chasing on the savanna while a tiger is a jungle cat and going to be more inclined towards explosive power that makes ambushes more likely to succeed.  Imo, the tiger on average is going to be a slightly more powerful cat than the lion when it comes to fighting.
