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.

From my own impression, let's say if I draw two barometers about the behavior of the three animals; lion, tiger, bear.
The first barometer is about the behavior of the animal who is more proactive for the pre-emptive strike and more prone for the provocative behavior, then it should be:
lion > tiger > bear
The second barometer is about the level of agitation of the animal when facing the cornered situation, then it should be:
bear > tiger > lion
Overall, I say that the bear who is normally even more shy and introvert than tiger can have by far more wish to fight to death when the bloodshed becomes inevitable.
The lions are by far more interactive within their own species and less shy/introvert than the other two contenders. And yes, the lions are more prone for fighting because of their social behavior, but it doesn't make them some kind of desperado who has literally nothing to lose. Most of the lion fights are kinda regulated to avoid more bloodshed, mostly for the lions from East Africa. While the lions in South Africa can be turned out to be more bloody, it is literally the blood feud between different clans.
