Who would win?

[TimberWolf]

Following the tragic story of the escaped zoo tiger, being attacked by a tiger seems like the stuff of worst nightmares. An unarmed human would appear pretty much defenceless against a tiger. [At least against an elephant brainpower might save the day (hide behind something, etc)]. But against a tiger and it seems you are pretty much a cat plaything if it is feeling at all peeved/peckish.

The tiger is the biggest of the cats. Would he win in a fight against a lion? How about an elephant and a tiger? Gorilla against tiger etc? Are there any interesting and unexpected winners? If man is included he is allowed only a knife (all single combat, no armies).


Incidentally has anyone seen ‘the lion man’ series (e.g. on Freeview)? It is incredible. He gets very intimate with his animals (and visa versa), including one time going into a cage with a tigress and taking away its cub!

Is that the show set in NZ? The guy is a maniac, only amtter of time before he gets eaten. 1 episode showed all his scars.... he had been almost killed at least once.

As for Lion vs Tiger, been donoe on a TV show where they do the theory. Apparently the tiger would win.

Yep, that's the one. I agree, his future doesn't appear particluarly long.

Squirrels can get pretty nasty if anyone touches our nuts!

You can find some videos in YouTube. In the past they made some of those experiments. Nobody really can kill an elephant because of its size. Tiger against lion is a bit of an equal fight, both can win. Lion/tiger against bears is again an open one. Gorilla is normally stronger than lions/tigers whom he can strangle with his bare hands. A man with a knife fighting them has only happened in Tarzan movies.

Does this mean some members of CUK are immortal?

But what about a lion and a fox against a tiger and a badger?

Not really a fight but check out this clip of a rabbit evading capture. Way to go bunny (SFW)
