I know some of the posters here also visit the Straight Dope so I thought i'd shared an older link to a thread there that this poll reminded me of: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=661555

The poster there, "My Lord", has obsessively put together probably the most comprehensive list ever of why Lions are greater than Tigers.

Anyone else seen that footage?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejeWqQ6fxqo

Generally agree with the tiger consensus, but lions have their moments.

While I disagree, I can understand the Tiger beating out the Lion. But the Jaguar! The fucking Cheetah!? What the hell is wrong with you people!?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Of the options, tiger.

Given an open playing field, it'd be a toss-up between ocelots and servals for me.  I want a cat that'll go swimming with me. :P

For smaller cats I'd go Fishing Cat all the way.  Gorgeous animals.

Well, actually leopard comes second for me, in its black panther variety:

I really like tigers, but I have to give a slight edge to Snow Leopards.  :wub:

A badass cat

Interesting thread. Lastest copy of Dangerous Game Hunting has a great little article title, "Most Dangerous". Author is a very experienced Professional Hunter. Opening paragraph as follows;

QuoteOf all the big five (and dangerous seven) the Leopard is the smallest and most feared above all others by Professional Hunters (PH) throughout Africa. You are not likely to die from the wounds it inflicts, however, a long road to recovery from those wounds and infections, requiring extensive medical attention. Inflicting damage at an incredible rate of speed, it can and has wounded entire hunting parties w/o a shot being fired.

QuoteLeopard attacks account for 86% of all recorded PH, trackers, and clients injuries in Zimbabwe.

QuoteA wounded leopard follow-up is not something anyone should ever experience. If it has life left it will charge at some stage unexpectedly, silently, and with unbelievable speed from the thickest cover.

Love their cammo

Don't get me started on the lack of Smilodon! :angry:

Hunting smilodon to extinction- so easy a caveman could do it.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?
