Tiger kills lion in Turkish zoo

[Andross]

Tigers are more powerful, cruel, better and more intelligent hunters while lions are kingly, they have families. Tigers roam alone.

depends yes when it comes to male lions because they do not hunt but when it comes to female lions they are on another level thats why they called king of the jungle

Tiger is more agile and fearless, whereas lion can be more poweful

Maybe this was a one off.

Females lions do the hunting while male lions sleep and wait for them to get back

Are you sure? I watch a lot of discovery channel with my old man and never noticed this.

Tigers are incredibly stealthy and very good swimmers. During a river cruise in the Sundarbans, I had a local boatman on the river launch who had been attacked by a tiger. The boat which was carrying some live-stock (goats and chickens) to the weekly bazaar had anchored for the night (boats can't navigate in the confusing riverine delta in the dark) and the boat-man (majhi) was dozing on the deck. The tiger (probably attracted by the scent of the live-stock, had swum out to the boat and leapt on deck. The man had barely time to react and a fling a lighted "hurricane" lantern towards the tiger. The tiger took off into the water again, but not before taking one of the man's ears and a good chunk of skin and flesh off his back. That is how I saw the boatman a good 6 years after the event.

Another point of note, the tiger usually hunts alone; while the lions hunt in groups. The tiger is far more ferocious than a lion; foresters claim that the lion's ability is largely hyped.

thats why Tamil tigers chose tiger instead of lion. lol

No bhai the reason why they chose Tigers was because Tiger was the ancient symbol of the Cholas (an Empire in Tamil Nadu) who completely defeated and conquered Sri Lanka in their time.

hell, i thought crocks/aligators were alot more powerful than the tigers. these tigers seem to be rednecks in the jungle.

Yes the bite of a croc is much more powerful than that of the tiger.

But what turns the tide in favour of the tiger is its mobility and agility. It can easily jump up,down sideways evading the death bite of a croc while all the croc can do is just shake its head side to side helplessly.

Tiger is the biggest and the most powerful cat. Scientific fact.

Actually the Lion is also an Indian thing - remember our Emblem ?? Four Lions

India is the only country in the world to house both Lions (Gir) and tigers (Bengal and Central India) in their natural habitat.

Should tigers be renamed as the king of the jungle?
