Pah!
Pound for pound cats are the toughest bad asses in the animal kingdom and Tigers are the biggest cats. They are invincible.

Yeah but an ants weight rounded to the nearest pound is zero, which means they don't count.Pretty Terrible Attacking Options wrote:What about an ant?Donkey Toon wrote:Pah!

Re: What would win a fight between a tiger and a hippo
Surprised at the results, a tiger would win 99/100 confrontations imo, only losing to lucky blows from the hippo tusk.
A far more realistic battle would be tiger v polar bear, I believe that they are the 2 most unbeatable land animals after the elephant who has no real competitors in a 1 v 1 scenario.

I feel the majority of the votes for the hippo are just to disagree with me .Fat Greedy Bas Dost wrote:Surprised at the results, a tiger would win 99/100 confrontations imo, only losing to lucky blows from the hippo tusk.

Re: What would win a fight between a tiger and a hippo
There is literally no way the tiger would win. It can't open its mouth wide enough to bite the hippo anywhere but the ankle/ear/tail. The hippo would bite the tigers head off in one chomp.
Re: What would win a fight between a tiger and a hippo
I can't imagine the hippo doing any damage to the tiger unless the tiger got anywhere near it's teeth and it managed to gore it somehow.
The tigers too quick , strong and fast for it. There are tigers that are known to have killed elephants.

How come this tiger's mouth wasn't too small to kill the massive rhino?Pretty Terrible Attacking Options wrote:There is literally no way the tiger would win. It can't open its mouth wide enough to bite the hippo anywhere but the ankle/ear/tail. The hippo would bite the tigers head off in one chomp.
Picking the hippo because it has a bigger mouth is so .

A tiger's just been completely dicked on in the US Open. I'm sticking with the hippo.

Quick AND fast!?
They might be known to Asian elephants, but I'd be very surprised if they were anything but sick, weak, young or a combination of the three, not large bulls.

Yup. Quick AND fast.
And they can jump really f***ing high.
The hippo doesn't win. Tiger mauls it every time.

The tiger cannot win, the hippo's skin is too thick for the claws and the Tigers mouth is too small to make use of its teeth.

The Tiger could easily bite and maul lumps out of it. Mouths too small. Are you serious? Tiger fangs can grow to six inches. Their mouths are this size:
Their claws are around 4 inches. You honestly think they couldn't bite huge chunks out of a hippo's 2 inch skin while it runs away scared?
I dunno
Re: What would win a fight between a tiger and a hippo
Considering hippos fight with each other, and survive attacks from teeth HALF A f***ing METER LONG, yes I think the 4 inch claws would struggle to get through the skin. They may be long enough to penetrate through hypothetically, but how exactly is a tiger going to line his claws up perpendicular to the hide?Duke wrote:According to who?Pretty Terrible Attacking Options wrote:

Re: What would win a fight between a tiger and a hippo
The fact that hippos have survived attacks from other hippos does not mean tiger claws couldn't do damage . What about the hippos that have died from hippo attacks?Pretty Terrible Attacking Options wrote:Considering hippos fight with each other, and survive attacks from teeth HALF A f***ing METER LONG, yes I think the 4 inch claws would struggle to get through the skin.

How are they not able to line their claws up? Hippos are 5ft (max) at the shoulder, tigers are 4ft (max). They could easily attack on their hind legs or jump on top of it.
You're acting like hippo skin is some sort of impenetrable super-armour. It's f***ing skin. A tiger would maul the s*** out of it.
