pears, or, as Disraeli said, "We shall not stand for it - no sir, not at all." It seems that when Tigers are confronted with Lions, they will generally back down. Lions are said to be braver than tigers - yet, if they have to fight, Tigers will win in about 90% of cases. Lions tend to stand on three feet or charge. Tigers fight on two hind legs.

The Lion has the advantage of a mane that protects its neck, but Tigers are more intelligent, agile, bigger, and they are good at directing their attacks.

But could a LARGE BEAR beat a Tiger ?

bear would destroy lion/tiger//

they used to set up exactly them types of fights early last century in states.. bears usually crush the skull of lion/tiger with first blow.. they never get near the bears neck..

Google - LEOPARD ATTACKS CROCODILE and you get the Daily Mail showing the photos.

that wasn't a big croc.

I'm talking about 6m long saltie - what chance then?

either.

I think a tiger or big bear would win on land.

crocs are quite limited in their attacking style i suppose. a big cat would, presumably, be too quick to get caught. if big cat can get on the crocs back it has a chance.

Gorilla vs Bear for instance would be interesting.

These are top fights bit I feel drugs or CGI would have to be involved. Unless its King Kong, I'd go Big Cat again.

In "Death in the Afternoon", Hemingway tells of a circus fight between a tiger and a Spanish fighting bull. The bull won.

Seen a tiger jump on a crocs back ( on land ) and bite its neck. Game over very quickly.
Can't see a gorilla standing much chance against a bear. It has nothing to hurt it with.

nothing would stand a chance against a bear, and it would be all over within seconds, one swipe of the paw and it would tear anything to shreads

A brown bear at 10.0 against a tiger would be without the bet of the century. They can weigh up to 1500 pouds, it would be no contest whatsoever. The bear would smash the tiger to pieces and rip it shreds for good measure.

Documented cases of Siberian Tigers killing and eating adult Brown Bears. Of course they also kill crocodiles/ pythons in India . Crocodiles usually back down against big cats.

It does depend i suppose on the circumstances as i expect the tigers that have killed brown bears probably ambushed them . A Brown Bear and a Tiger would surely back away if they both saw the other coming along.

If the Tiger has enough room for manouvere and charging then it would beat anything i'd say . In a confined space a bigger animal , such as a Bear ( probably only a grizzly or polar bear though) or a Bull would be fav.

Frightening to think what a Gorilla might be capable of if it could be bothered , as a large man would have no chance against a Chimpanzee.

Elephant?

do big cats ever attack gorillas/chimpanzees etc? i've never heard of cases, presume that as they can climb up a tree easily enough is unlikely to ever happen.

saw a vid earlier of bear vs wolves, ended up as a stalemate, but the wolves were far too quick for the bear, the bear never got close to laying a paw on any of them.

I think loaded magazine did some sort of competition like this and the elephant came top
