00:12 Aggressiveness
00:24 Tiger and Lion, the strongest pig cats in the world.
00:29 If we compare these two animals at the point of aggression, we can say that the tiger is more aggressive.
00:35 Although lions are strong in general, tigers are in fact stronger.
00:40 They are more muscular, more active and have better agility compared to lions.
00:46 Tigers in general can be more ferocious than lions.
00:53 The logic is simple. Tigers are normally solitary creatures. Lions are social.
00:58 Tigers have fewer methods to fall back on if they fail to protect their cubs than lions.
01:04 Lions and tigers are in no way aggressive to humans.
01:08 They don't find us all that threatening but if you are near one and it's hungry, it will eat you.
01:14 Tigers have more muscles in almost all regions of their body.
01:26 A tiger has 72.6% muscle mass and a lion has 58.8% muscle mass.
01:34 Clearly, the tiger is much stronger. Muscle translates to pure strength.
01:42 Tigers and lions are the most muscular animals in the world after hairless chimps.
01:48 Bite force
01:55 These big cats bite very strongly. The lion has a bite force of 650 psi. The tiger bites down at 1050 psi.
02:04 Even though a lion's bite is weak, although still 6 times that of a human, their jaws are only one weapon in their arsenal.
02:13 The tiger has longer canine and slightly longer mandibles.
02:18 The lion has bigger incisors and same canine but they are slightly shorter than the tiger's.
02:25 Both animals have powerful jaws and lion's jaws are designed for a precise bite.
02:31 Big cats like lions and tigers can crush bones with their bite easily. It's like a person eating candy.
02:38 Athletic
02:49 Lion and tiger are among the most athletic animals in the world.
02:53 Tigers are very good climbers. Most lions don't really climb trees unless they are really motivated by food or a tread.
03:01 Tigers are much better at climbing. Tigers' hind legs are really strong.
03:06 A fully grown tiger can leap over 8 meters and jump up to 5 meters vertically.
03:12 Lions can run up to 50 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 11 meters, almost the length of a school bus.
03:21 Lions enjoy relaxing and lazing around. They spend between 16 and 20 hours each day resting and sleeping.
03:29 Lions have terrific night vision.
03:32 Intelligent
03:41 Unfortunately, we have no other evidence to suggest that tigers are more intelligent than lions.
03:48 In evolutionary terms, brain size has usually been linked to intelligence and tiger's brain is 16% bigger than lion's.
03:57 Thanks for watching.
