Tiger Vs Lion

Now this one I can't decide, imagine two of these bump into to each other, Tigers are marginally bigger but nothing much of an advantage where as some male lions can be huge also....

One on one it would have to be the tiger. Much bigger and stronger. I saw a program once where a tiger firstly went into a river and took prey from the jaws of a crocodile and secondly spotted a leopard and proceeded to kill and eat it. Where would they stand if one of them bumped into a polar bear?

Ok I think the Tiger would win one on one, but in the Savanah teh Lion would probably win, however if there is water the Lion has no chance!!!

Have you ever seen a Liger....its a cross breed between a Lion and a Tiger...they grow to a massive size as the growth inhibitors dont work when the breeds are crossed..however they cant produce offspring kinda like the mule syndrome, by the way Id say a tiger would win over a lion.

I think they'd probably sniff each other's butts, decide they weren't in competition for the same mates then amble off in search of something to shag, or if they'd done that earlier, just go to sleep in the sun.

Liger btw:

Female lions carry the growth inhibitors, but male tigers do. A liger has lion father /tiger mother.
