Lions are always fighting each other in the wild over terrirtory & such. They will even kill a mother's cubs if they want to mate with her. Tigers live much more peacefully with each other in the wild. They mark their terrirtories, but rarely fight.
As to the liger/tigon - if the mother is a lion & father is a tiger, it's called a liger. If the mother is a tiger & the father a lion, it's called a tigon. I saw a liger at Turpentine Creek a couple of years ago. It wasn't as big as the one in the other pics on this thread. I think those may have been digitally altered. 😉
someone said tigers were more aggresive than lions
thats crazy tigers are lone animals therefore when they see other big cats like a lion they get scared and naturaly want to run away
a lion on the other hand lives its whole life to fight other lions they love it they will fight anything and usually beat the tiger because of that and the mane
someone also said that brown circus bears killed circus lions
they are confused because brown bears are small and are preyed upon by big cats like the tiger
however a grizzly which is huge kills lions and tigers with one great swipe breaking there necks

While they're both very vicious cats.. I only know the tiger to drag their prey up into the treetops.. (I could be wrong).. so therefore I think the tiger might win for its strength and agility
its a leopard that drags prey up treetops
tigers and lions are both similar...so its hard to tell who would win
Bengal Tigers - Diet
In the wild Bengal Tigers are pure carnivores and hunt medium-sized animals, such as rabbits, badgers, water buffalos, deer, wild boars, goats and sometimes they hunt domestic cattle. A Bengal Tiger will drag the kill to a safe place to eat . They are able to eat up to 40 pounds at a time and then go without eating for days. Some Tigers become man-eaters, but it happens to be very rare. In the zoo Bengal Tigers are fed chicken, horsemeat and kangaroo meat five days a week and fast on bones twice a week.
I believe that 'safe place' is up in a treetop
