Tiger's have stripes and lions don't plus they are from different parts of the world.

Answer 7

One has stripes and the other doesn't.One lives on the African plains while one lives more in the jungle.Tigers are climbers more than lions are.The female lions do the hunting because they live in groups called prides and the male lion usually eats first where as tigers are loners and only hook up when the female is in heat.Hope this helps...and Grace K...you better look them both up as lions and tigers do not mate so they both have males and females.

Answer 8

A lion is beige/light brown with no markings and a mane of red hair around its face and a tuft of fur on the tip of its tail if it is male, no mane or tuft if it is female.

A tiger is black, orange, and white striped with a very small mane of white fur around its head regardless if it is male or female.

Answer 11

Well first of all, they are closely related and they're both the largest members of the cat family.

First the tiger.   Tiger are easily identified by their black and orange stripes.  Like most cats, tigers are solitary, except during mating and when the mothers are raising their cubs, but unlike most felines tigers love the water and are very good swimmers.   Tigers are found only in Asia.  

Next, the lion.  The lion is the second largest member of the cat family.   Lions are found mainly in Africa.  A small population of Asiatic lions are found in the Gir Forest of India.   Adult males are easily recognized by thier manes.   Females are smaller and have no manes.  Both male and female have no stripes.   Unlike all other cats, lions lives in a group called a pride, which is usually consist of one male lion and female lions which are all related.  

Just remember that tigers have stripes and lions do not.   In fact lions have neither stripes nor spots.  The mane of a lion is good way to distinguish it from the tiger.  And yes both species have known to interbreed in captivity,  not in the wild.

Tigers have stripes and live alone, Lions live in Prides and are tannish and the Male Lion has a large Main and the females do all the hunting

these people don't know what they are talking about Lions are in India also, they aren't as big as the African Lion though

Answer 15

They are closely enough related that they can breed; the results are "ligers" and "tions" depending on whether the lion is the father or mother.

Answer 16

Answer 17

lions have manes (like the lion king) and tigers have stripes (like tony the tiger)

Answer 18

Genetically speaking, they are very close and have mated in the past producing offspring called ligers. Ligers grow to be considerably larger than their parents. Tigers and lions are two separate distinct species of large cats. Tigers are at home in the water and enjoy swimming whereas lions do not.

Answer 20

they look different and their habitats are different.. however, they are part of the same species which is why they are able to produce fertile offspring like a "liger" or a "ligon"

Answer 21

well a tiger has stripes  and a lion doesnt... and they have different teeth and they look different its not really that hard to tell..

Answer 22

they...........have different names?

Answer 23

They are two different animals. Tigers are usually orange in color and have black stripes. They can often be found in different places to lions. Lions are usually a plain golden-brown color, and the males have large mains of hair. Lions generally have larger heads.

Answer 24

They are entirely different species. The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest of all cats, weighing up to 660lb, and is native to Asia. It has a deep orange coat patterned with vertical black stripes. Apart from mothers with cubs, it is a solitary animal, males and females coming together only to mate.

The lion (Panthera leo) is the second largest of the cats, weighing up to 550lb. The vast majority of lions live in Africa, though there is a small population of Asiatic lions in the Gir Forest of India. Lions are a uniform tawny colour, without markings (except in cubs, which have faint spots for camouflage. These fade as they age). They have a tuft at the end of the tail, and males have a thick mane of fur around the neck - this makes him appear larger and more intimidating to rivals, and more attractive to females, and protects his throat during fights. Lions are the only truly social cats, living in groups called prides.
