Lion Vs Tiger? Who Will Win?

[VanHelsingh]

Why not breed a lion and a tiger to create........... A LIGER!

I could rule the world with such beasts! Although I'd have to put some armour on them as pachaare liger's bones aren't as strong as they should be due to the cross breeding. Also I wonder if he'd be as effective if I kept him on a vegetarian diet? If I'm not eating meat then neither is my liger. On second thoughts this a terrible plan.

That thing looks part human too. Is that you in the driver's seat?

Liger cannot survive in wilderness, they can hardly move besides only divine vahiguroo is perfect making its creation not us mere mortals...we can can mimic divine creation but always be short in our mimicing or cloning....!!

I think I'll stick to my zebroid.

Yes, I'm surveying my diabolical tinkering with Creation.

I'd take honey badgers over lions anyday. Reports of honey badgers attacking lions and winning.

I always thought the lion would win.. but i always favored the tiger especially the white tiger who i have a very soft spot for...i also read on the internet (cannot remember what site) that singh meant tiger which always stuck in my mind because for a long time i thought it meant lion............... the white tiger being the most beautiful animal i have ever witnessed....

Singh is derived from the Sanskrit Sim-ha or Sin-ha. In many Indian states, Lion is referred to as Singha.

Sri Lanka or Cey-Lon was originally pronounced 'Sinh-alay' or home of the Lion.

Singapore, was originally Singa-Pura - land of the Lions.

In Thai, Lion is pronounced Sing-to.

Lol, even in Swahili (tongue of the Masai) Lion is refered to as 'Sim-ba'...

It's pretty clear that 'Singh' is derived from an older source meaning Lion.

Re Tiger Vs Lion, it's a pretty stupid debate. In nature, top predators avoid each other for the large part, in the unique region of India where these top cats lived as neighbours, they would not have usually entered each others territories, they would have scented their land to keep each other way. It is common for a Lion to ignore the warning and enter another Lions domain or a Tiger to enter a Tigers (by way of challenge) but for a Tiger or Lions to enter each others.. no.

That aside, they are top predators and pretty evenly matched. The Tiger is however bigger and more commonly fights to the death in a challenge match, fighting to the death is less common in Lion challenges.

Nearly all the video footage and documented cases of Lion Vs Tiger in captivity (the only place they have ever been seen fighting) scores the Tiger the winner. But this does not prove anything per se. The Cats are not in their natural environment for starters so psychology is different/changed. It could be the Tiger handles prison better than a Lion.

If we were to talk about the Amur (Siberian) Tiger, then I think it would come down to size as the Amur Tiger is the giant amongst cats and actually possibly the top land predator on Earth (many reported cases of it killing/predating Brown Bears, who themselves are a top predator). Only the Polar Bear or Kodiak Bear (biggest Brown from Kodiak islands) could contest the title.

But again, in nature, it impossible for an Amur and Lion to meet, so it’s a pointless discussion. The Lion is King of its land, as the Tiger it’s King of it’s land.

The Leopard however is the elusive champion, it lives in the land of all the top cats (including Amur), yet is the most successful at surviving and hunting (even though it would be killed in most cases in a fight with it's Masters).

We as Khalsa can take inspiration from both Tiger and Lion, they are Kings of their domain, as we should be. That domain first and foremost is the mind. We must defeat the minds tempatations, distractions and illusions, we must defeat the demons (panj vaikaar). They are relentless, we slay and new army of demons arrives. We progress in our bhagti/sikhi/rehit and the they pull us back down to hell in a moment’s unconscious pride... We need to take understanding from Chandi di Vaar – and apply that continued and unwavering destruction on the relentless, fearless and ferocious demons, who keep appearing army after army, King after King.. with one objective, to destroy Chandi....

Tigers are awesome theres a lot we can learn from the stalking and combat style of the tiger...pentra, jhatka..

Nihang Baba Ram Singh explained the finesse involved in 'chatka gatka' Penthra by giving a beautiful analogy, that of a tiger hunting a wild boar:

'Now, you have the tiger. It never forsakes Pentra. Even if it is in a cage, it either stays sitting or if it moves it moves in Pentra. The foremost aspect today is when today's young Gatkabaj move, they are weak in Pentra. In fact, they have no Pentra. He who is weak on Pentra cannot be a Gatkabaj. A tiger corners an animal but does not attack [blindly]. Lets say a boar gets cornered by a tiger. The front mouth, its tusks, are very dangerous if they catch the tiger as they will not let him go. That is why the tiger leaps [to evade] this way, or otherwise that boar ends up attacking instead of the tiger. He leaps over there from there over there. I have seen in the jungle whilst hunting myself that a tiger will corner a boar for up to eight hours. He only attacks when his attack won't go without fruit, or the tiger, attacks the boar after 3pm [indian summer] because between 3pm and 4pm he gets sleepy, or, tiger leaps over boar, behind him, and then pounces on his back in such a manner that all his back is crushed and he is not capable of running. Likewise, a true 'Gatkai' (practitioner) only then gives Chatka [killing strike] of hand when his blow will not go empty. Today's Gatka is an ox-beating game just striking stick on stick.'
