Lions or tigers?

Narnia, made Study Hall awesome for middle school, etc.

All tigers have is Hobbes, but I'm afraid Aslan still comes out on top.

Hell yeah! xD

I was going to say Tigers, but I forgot the epicness of Aslan from Narnia.

So Lions come on top. :3

The funny thing is, there actually haven't been any recorded white pure Siberian tigers. All white tigers on record are actually either Bengal or Bengal-Siberian hybrids, which suggests that the recessive gene that causes leucism (white colouring) is carried by Bengal tigers. It is very strange, since you'd expect that a tiger that lives in a snowy environment would have more need for a white coat than one that lives in jungles and forests.

?? Why do you like cats soo much?

Because they're awesome creatures. I like lions especially because they look so regal and proud (and I adopted them as my personal symbol, in a sense, at a very young age). I also think the rest of the cat family in general, including tigers, are very graceful and beautiful.

Tigers, for the reasons everyone has stated - majestic, lovely markings, look cuter and are independant animals. Lions, particularly females, look very plain. But Tigons look the awesomest of all. In the picture you posted a page or two ago, Asta, that Tigon is just beautiful. Ligers look rough..

Obviously combine the two:

Tigers be the best. more majestic. lions seem scruffy

really now? thats interesting. and yeah ive always wondered why a siberian tiger wouldnt have a white coat. i would think it would change seasonally. i mean i knew it didnt but still i think that would make sense. between the two, which do you like more; bengal or siberian?

WE'VE GOT LIONS AND TIGERS
ONLY IN KENYAAAA

Both.

Cool pics. I like both, but not enough to make that my vote. I'm going with tigers.

EDIT: Can't believe I didn't think of "Both" being a "Liger."

Hmm, that's hard to say. They're both really beautiful. Physically, Bengal tigers have slightly smaller builds than Siberian tigers, with less shaggy, darker fur and stripes that are closer together. I think overall I prefer Siberian tigers, but only by a tiny fraction. Incidentally, have you ever seen a golden tabby Bengal tiger? They are stunning:
