Tigers are the true king of the Jungle

You probably already know that tigers do not live in the same habitat as the lions, but this debate is proving who is the better leader or "king." (almost who would win in a fight, but not exactly that)P1: HuntingLions are pride hunters, while tigers are solitary hunters. Lions don't have to hunt if they don't need to, while tigers, if not grazing, or cleaning themselves, will most likely be on the hunt. Tigers also have a sufficient advantage, with there powerful back legs allowing to take down there enemy much more easily. They are also more a lot more agile.P2 a): Statistics (Statistics taken from http://indrajit.wordpress.com... directly)(Lion)Largest Lion in captivity: 806 lbs (366 kg)Largest Lion found in the wild: 702 lbs (318 kg) and 11′ (3.35 m) [INDRAJIT.WORDPRESS.COM/BIGCATS]Average size (mode) of African Lion: 410 lbs (186 kg) and 8’10″ (2.7 m)** Lions stand around 1.15m (including mane) at shoulder as opposed to 1m of a tiger ** (Tiger, Bengal, and Siberian)Largest Siberian Tiger found in the wild : 845 lbs/ 384 kg.

Not mentioned in the statistics, but also a fact, is that tigers have bigger claws, and canines. They are also very agile, and if you combined all of these factors, it basically makes the tiger a "bigger" cat. Lions are almost the exact same, and are capable of taking down bigger animals, but usually the "bigger" animal does not tend to fight back. P3: A Fight?Tigers being a lot bigger than lions, along with being more agile, while lions are very strong. If both a lion a tiger were to square off, it is a very difficult discion to see who would win. A tigers pounce, strike and bite are two of its very powerful moves, while lions are very strong, make nice use of there claws, and are known for taking down enemies bigger then them. But there is no true winner. A lion is more likely to win in a small area (cage) because tigers will not be able to harness there full speed. A tigers agility is its key to winning, while a lions key is brute strength. In a larger cage, a tiger is more likely to win, because it will be able to move around, and maneuver easier. Who is the true champion. We will leave that up to the voters. A lazy hunter, and a strong fighter, or a solitary hunter, and a fast fighter.Good luck in the next round opponentSources:http://indrajit.wordpress.com...http://answers.yahoo.com...
