Mountain lions are the stealthiest of cats, hunting prey two to three times their own size.
Scientists say that in a fight between a Bengal tiger and an African lion, there is a 90 per cent chance that the tiger will win. A tiger is slightly faster than a lion, arguably more ferocious, and more agile. A tiger is also 5 per cent taller and 8 per cent heavier than a lion.
Tardar Sauce – Grumpy Cat
Grumpy Cat is quite possibly one of the most famous cats in history. She rose to fame in 2012 after a post of her face went viral on Reddit – at first, no-one believed her face hadn't been altered but in truth her grumpy markings were real.

However, a lion coalition of 2–3 males would have a clear advantage over a lone tiger. A group of 2–4 female lions would have a similar advantage over a lone tigress. They conclude that while one on one, a tiger would certainly best a lion, in the wild the lion pride could hold their own against the solitary tiger.
Leopard. The leopard is the most widespread of all big cats. The strongest climber among the big cats, a leopard can carry prey twice its weight up a tree. Long, muscular hind legs enable snow leopards to leap seven times their own body length in a single bound.
