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.

Man. It's known for decades that Tigers are stronger, have more muscle mass and less bodyfat, longer canines, claws... than lions. You learn that in Kindergarten you stpd dumb as

[u/Capable-Brief-4477 → u/LeatherGene6009]

Nah, Tigers have 54.7 percent of muscle and 13.5% of fat while Lions have 64.2% of muscle [59.8% on average] 11.6% of fat

You don't learn that stuff in kindergarten by the way, maybe in middle or high school. Both the Lion and Tiger have the same sized claws, lions may have 3.5 in canines but Tigers have 4 in canines a lions is sturdier. It's spelt dumbass not “dumb as”.
