  • it was said on the ...

    it was said on the documentary that ron weighed 500 lbs, the tigress was said to be 385 lbs.

    dave has mentioned a 550 lb lion which has attacked him (in the same documentary) and, on planet carnivore, there was a lion said to be 500 lbs also.

  • dale said in an ...

    dale said in an email that the makles he weighed were under 500 lbs, and closer to 400, and not one of the males he weighed measured over 475 lbs.

    statements 'saying' tigers are larger isn`t really proof....it needs to be supported with evidence, which i find very little of.

    it try to find a list of animals weighed in the wild, and compare notes. most of the time, a scientists knowledge is based on that which he has learned from books or even his own studies....which may be limited.

  • He is doing thing ...

    He is doing thing for good tv, and for fame. The tigers are not released, they didn't hunt that porcupine, the porcupine was put in their cage so that they get quails all over their body for this scene. I have evidence to prove what i am saying.

    You admire a liar? He lied that the tigers are purebred, he lied that the tigers are released, he lied that the project is about conservation. And what does he get now? Fame.

    I can show you evidence, and the truth about this documentary.

  • Oh geez, are we ...

    Oh geez, are we really arguing who wins in a fight between a lion and a tiger? Are we six years old? My dad's bigger than yours? Both are beautiful animals, worthy of our protection. I think this guy's crazy, but I admire what he's doing.

  • Wrong, accorrding ...

    Wrong, accorrding to Dale, Siberian Tigers average at least 430lbs currently. Lions on the other hand average around 181kg. next even Brander says Tigers are heavier than lions.

    There is no need to show me any information, it is a worldwide fact that Tigers are indeed heavier than Lions!

    Those experts that you mention, why don't you email them and ask who they think is larger instead of just asking weights??

    Come on Brentlion, don't be a loser to deny facts.

  • dave salmoni has ...

    dave salmoni has mentioned the weight of a few of his lions...in which he says a 550 lb lion attacked him, while the tiger, ron, was said in 'living with tigers', to weigh about 500 lbs.

    dave made such a statement based on outlandish claims, but not his own measurements. i could show you sources mentioning the weights of both captive and wild lions and tigers, if you want. tigers are no bigger than lions.

  • shuaige 12, clyde ...

    shuaige 12, clyde actually favors the lion! i have his book, the big cage, in which he says the lion is the most likely winner. he did mention a few tigers which were awesome fighters, but also said that his lion, sultan,was the most formidable cat he ever saw.

    clyde said that lions were the better fighters, and his lion, sultan, took on and whipped every one of his tigers.

    dave salmoni favors the tiger, i could mention zoo keepers which favor the lion, if you want.

    Show me your source if you dare. All of them,.

  • There's no need for ...

    There's no need for debate, any expert would tell you that Tigers are bigger than lions, you are the only guy on Earth who overestimate yourself and think everything you said is right. Even Dave Salmoni says that Tigers are heavier than lions in captivity. There is no debate at all in terms of captive animals. And in terms of wild animals, only the crater lion can be compared to an average indian tiger but they aren't the same league as a northen bengal. Loser!

  • io already emailed ...

    io already emailed craig packer, and he said that the chest girth he provided from ngorongoro lions were as large as those of siberians, and then he goes on to say that tigers with a similarly rich diet may well be larger....but this is only speculation.

    a tiger`s jaw strength has never been measured. that chart on bfq was merely estimates, not an actual study.

    i can show you my sources, if you like. just ask.

  • tigers aren`t ...

    tigers aren`t larger than lions. recent studies made by dale miquelle has found that the average siberian weighs close to 400 lbs.

    peter jackson, another expert, says lions and tigers are the same size.

    according to brander, the average bengal weighs about 420 lbs. kalahari lions are said to average over 200 kg, while lions in other areas are reported to average as much as 225 kg, similar to tigers in other, more fertile areas.

    i could show more info on tiger size, if you want.

  • Email Craig Packer ...

    Email Craig Packer or any expert you know. Even experts who favor the lion like Dave Salmoni says that tigers have a stronger bite force, and i am saying bfq not canine bf. You can say whatever you want, boldchamp, damon, jimmy but the fact remains that you have no evidence at all to prove your cause and no one takes you seriously, honestly.

  • He said that at the ...

    He said that at the same size and weight, it would be foolish to bet for the lion. Yup, sultan is powerful but does that mean that there is no other tigers better than him? It is a known fact that clyde beatty mentions that his lions are larger than his tigers while seems to be weird since Tigers are in general larger than lions in captivity so i am not surprised that his lions defeat his tigers since his tigers is small and size advantage is very important.

  • but he also said ...

    but he also said that in a finish fight, he would bet his money on the lion. he never mentioned any tiger victory in 'the big cage'. he did mention a few tigers which were awesome fighters, but no true victory.

    i`m not saying that the tigers never defeated the lions, just that he never mentioned this in that particular book. but he also stated that sultan was the most powerful animal he came across, and he said this animal defeated every one of his tigers.

  • tigers do NOT have ...

    tigers do NOT have a more powerful bite force. tigers jaws are shorter, so they may have a stronger bite at the canines, where the teeth is longer. however, the most force comes from the carnassials, the size of which being directly related to the size of the jaws, which is bigger in lions. bigger teeth means there`s greater surface area to bite from.

    also, lions have proportionately longer jaws, which means they have more room(at the back of skull) for muscle developement.

  • The point is that ...

    The point is that did that study try to measure the bite force of a tiger? If i remember correctly, the study did not even mention about the tiger, unless it mentions both the tiger and the lion or else how could you make comparison from different sourceS?

    It is a known fact that Tigers have stronger jaws than lions, even ur favorite AFO admits that. So what are lionfans going to argue next? Lions have more stripes? LMAO
