The main differences between a tiger and a lion are size, physical appearance, habitat, diet, behavior, and social structure. Tigers typically weigh around 200-300 pounds while lions can weigh up to 600 pounds. Tigers have more rounded heads and longer bodies than lions, with distinctive stripes on their fur. Lions tend to live in open grasslands or savannahs, whereas tigers prefer forests. Lions eat more meat than tigers do, which consists of mainly herbivores such as zebras and wildebeests. Tigers hunt for prey that includes deer, wild boar, and smaller mammals like monkeys. Lions generally form larger prides, consisting of 4-20 individuals, while tigers usually travel alone.
