This isn't about animal cruelty.It is just a hypothetical matchup. Who would win a fight between a 460lbs Asiatic Lion and a 470lbs Bengal Tiger?
The tiger would win because the lions hunt in a pack, so if it were to try and fight solo it would be weaker because it depends on it's pride (that's a group of lions) Whereas a tiger is a solitary animal who is a king of both land and water. Did you know that a tiger living in a swamp will hunt and kill a crocodile? Now if there was more than one lion then the tiger would lose the fight. Hope this helps.
