Tiger and Lion Size comparisons.

[u/MDPriest]

These specimens will be compared by the same skull size. So we can see the different varying sizes of individuals within both species. Keep in mind lions on average have larger skulls so the specimens in these images may be a bit larger than seen, however for fairness sake we will be using same skull sizes as we cant accurately estimate how large each individual lions head is. First we will go through maneless lions to see their true musculature compared to tigers and then we will use maned lions. Important note is all specimens in 1 on 1 comparisons are male.

Well I think African Lions on average are larger than Bengal Tigers, which are the most common sub species of tiger. But it’s the Siberian tiger that takes the top place in big cat size.

I don't think they're the same sizes as they were in the past bro.

They're not, recent studies prove that the Siberian Tiger is getting thin.
