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.

I say just this much, it is impressive thing to do, but tiger for sure isn´t able to kill an elephant because of extraordinary strength compared to other big cats. If it would be about strength, every tiger attacking an elephant would be killed straight away and stomped to wet stain on ground which someone might remotely recognize to be something like maybe tiger remains....
I'm not sure what is your point to pull this "tiger killing Elephants" here. I don't understand what you trying to prove.
But one thing is important, the Tiger killing adult elephants is not related to strength. Tiger is not doing that like a bull, by ramming opponents with it's head.
Not like bear sizing it's opponent by pushing with it's arms and weight.
But, by jumping on back and mauling to death with it's claws and fangs.
And when it comes to strength, the elephant of course the strongest. It has lots of pounds on it's side, in both bone and muscle department as compared to tiger. Due to it's size.
But when it comes to pound for pound strength. What I mean at equal weights. The tiger is stronger between two...
Shortly, I wasn´t trying to prove anything. I just gave one example about ridiculous reasoning, what can be found time to time in different places, there are many other examples too naturally. What comes to self-evident part of your message, I think, that I said same thing already in my posting. So no need to repeat that third time here now :)
And then what comes to tigers and lions, I said already what I think and you are free to believe what you like, I just am not sure, that you are right. Then again I would say the same anyone claiming, that lion is stronger :) I choose to wait some serious research from scientists with good reasoning and testing. That lion-tiger thing wasn´t important here, just one example about problems there are in these comparisons and maybe best example about topics loaded with nonsense in so many threads in internet. IMO.
