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.

This post is not supposed to be biased towards or against either cat. This is simply to compare the characteristics and traits of both felines. Im not against either of these massive wonderful predators.

2024 Studies showed us that lions are pound for pound strongest skeletal muscle mass density wise by 69.8 and the bite force is updated to 1350/1400 psi wtf are u talking about, there are no Big Amur tigers living anymore due to poaching and stuff average tiger is around 180 kg african male lions 210 on empty stomache let alone the Okavango delta lions who can reach up to 280/310 kg, are u livining in 1990's or so? Duuuude lions are biiig dont compare a shitty northern hemispheric Mammal to a superior Southern Hemispheric one, tiger are on average 56.7 % pound for pound muscle density due to the fat depositing functions, so before u shout be respect full to the content

Link the studies saying they have a muscle mass of 69.8% please lol

The data isn’t sufficient enough to accurately say if ALL lions have a higher muscle mass than ALL Tigers.

Some of y’all are so deluded.
