It seems the African lion dominates the Bengal tiger:

So since the Asiatic lion is smaller than the African, who do you think wins?

Panthera leo africanus(the African lion).



The male African lion is a born fighter. Never backs down in a fight. More aggressive than a bengal tiger.


The Asiatic lion is smaller in size and lighter in weight. It wouldn't stand a chance with a bengal tiger.

Ohhh? It seems even leopards attack and kill full grown male bengal tigers from the wild:

Bengal tigers are not that much bigger than lions, in fact some...bengals...can be as small as a leopard:


However, the tigers in the Sundarbans weigh just 76.7 kg, nearly half of the weight of other wild Bengal tigers, which average at 138.2 kg. This is also less than the average weight of tigers from any of the other 8 sub-species, making the Sundarbans tigers probably the smallest in the world.

Can you show me a asiatic lion as small as a leopard or even just as small as a jaguar?

I just find it interesting that most people dont even know of the indian lion, yet their history is quite broad, far and wide through Asia's history:

Also interesting that lions have killed bears more polar bears than any other bear in captivity:
