Both lion, at first, seem to be indifferent to the tiger's behaviour and after the one with, as you say, the lighter mane enters the tiger's cage and in front of it the tiger chooses to retreat.

I don't know what to think... When I see one in front of the other one tiger has always bigger front limbs (it's blatant) and, thus, seems to be more powerful in this aspect... But the lion, without any fear, seems much more self-willed and determined in the majority of cases..

There are more videos about these three. And in some that lighter mane lion even looks like to be waiting what that lion with darker mane thinks and do. And looks like to be submitting a bit for this tiger while darker mane lion looks like to be just curious and doesn´t care a bit about roars and swipes of that tiger. That´s why I find this new video so interesting, because here that lighter mane lion then acts like it does and tiger doesn´t challenge it anymore.

Male lion is of course well known for it, that it eats first in the wild, so no surprise that it goes for it also in captivity and is ready to fight for it if needed. What to think about these cases, well.... what you see is what happens. But as we can see many times, the shorter the video is, the more it can be misleading. So very nice when there can be found more material about some interesting situations. Reply
