In terms of bone strength, lions are stronger. Tigers are ~60-70% muscle but have lower bone density than lions. In terms of muscular strength, tigers are stronger. Lions live in Africa and India.
Key Points. Elephants and rhinos are the animals most likely to kill lions. The humble porcupine is a threat to mighty lions. A crocodile is an animal that will attempt to prey on lions.
Behavior. Although lions are strong in general, tigers are in fact stronger. They are more muscular, more active and have better agility compared to lions. They also tend to be more aggressive as lions are considered to be lazy animals.
Traditionally the lion has been crowned King of the Jungle, but when one observes a lion and elephant encounter in the African wild it is clear to see that King lion has a healthy respect for elephant.
Your weapon is whatever you get or have in hand. With his canines and claws, he can hurt fatally. Tigers avoid fights. But if they get into the fight they will go for the kill, until and unless they are surprised by you, and just want to escape.
Lions have few predators to fear other than humans. A very young or sickly lion might fall prey to hyenas. Cubs may be attacked and eaten by adult male lions. Lions are most threatened by humans who hunt them and encroach on their habitat.
Honey badgers are small, but aren't afraid to take on larger animals. Honey badgers are often called the fiercest animal on the planet.
In brute strength, elephants are the strongest mammals and the strongest land animals. African elephants can weigh up to 6,350kg and they can carry up to 9,000kg, the weight of 130 adult humans.
Predators. Asiatic wild dogs called dholes may prey upon tigers but these rare attacks are usually countered with drastic losses to the dholes' pack. Humans are the greatest threat to all tiger populations.
Herbivores that are too big for a tiger to handle: Elephants, rhinos (although there are exceptions to that one) and hippos. Predators that can take on a big tiger in a head-on fight: Big, male brown bears, polar bears and large c.
Even if a swimming tiger catches up with a hippo, it'll have a tough time winning the fight. Hippos have thick, strong skin that protects them from predators. Plus, their massive body makes them almost impossible to take down. Hippos have the most powerful jaws in the animal kingdom with a bite force of 1,800 psi.
A tiger would kill a gorilla in a fight. If a tiger managed to ambush a gorilla, the tiger would immediately kill it. Although the gorilla is strong, the fact is that it could not stop 600 pounds of charging muscle and teeth.
In the battle of the grizzly bear vs tiger, a Siberian tiger would win a fight against a grizzly bear. The Siberian tiger is an ambush predator, and it's the only big cat that comes close to the grizzly bear in terms of size and power.
A bear would win a fight against a lion. Bears have the advantage in just about every aspect, from size to offensive capabilities. The only time that a lion would win is if it managed to sneak up and ambush a bear, leaping onto it and biting into its head with such power that it shattered the skill.
Tigers are naturally, instinctively, terrified of fire and resist jumping through flaming rings. In order for a trainer to get a tiger through a flaming hoop, that animal must be more afraid of physical punishment by the trainer than the fire itself.
Leo's biggest weakness is their selfish nature. They only think about their own needs and put themselves forward in all situations. This behaviour drives the good people in their lives away and causes a lot of trouble to the people in their surroundings.
According to the Independent, honey badgers have been described in the Guinness Book of Records as the "most fearless animal in the world" and can even fight off much larger predators like lions and hyenas.

Do lions have predators? No predators hunt lions to eat them; however, they do have a few natural enemies, such as hyenas and cheetahs. Hyenas compete with lions for food and often try to steal their kills.
The legend of Sala who killed the lion to save his Jaina preceptor Sudatta and had won a kingdom for himself ideally fitted into the animal-slayer motif already in vogue.
Yet, the elephant will knock the tiger over or run it through at some point. Tigers are not agile enough to avoid an elephant forever. All it takes is a piece of the tiger's body to get caught under the elephant's weight and the fight is over. The tiger will be crushed or stabbed to death.
Tigers are less likely to kill you if you look them in the eye. Tigers like to hunt by ambush. By looking a tiger in the eye, you're showing it that you know it's there. This, “they say”, makes it less likely that a tiger will attack you.
