While scientists still debate the exact origins and functions of zebra stripes, their recent efforts have focused more closely on three possibilities; protection from biting flies, thermoregulation and protection from predators.

The plains zebra (Equus quagga, formerly Equus burchellii), also known as the common zebra, is the most common and geographically widespread species of zebra….

However, a gorilla is a mighty foe with more stamina and fearsome strength. It’s the will to fight will last much longer than a male lion’s and if it gets its hands upon a solid branch, it can put a beating on its feline combatant.

Herbivores that are too big for a tiger to handle: Elephants, rhinos (although there are exceptions to that one) and hippos. Predators that can take on a big tiger in a head-on fight: Big, male brown bears, polar bears and large c.

Though a gorilla is more powerful in bite force and strength a tiger would win 9 times out of 10. A tigers jump would easily reach a gorillas neck. After that a tiger breaks the gorilla’s neck and kills the gorilla.

The Bengal Tiger has a 100% chance of winning the battle. Fortunately for the Jaguar, it can still escape from the tiger by climbing trees and swimming in the water. With the help of stronger claws and remarkable fighting ability, the Bengal Tiger will surely defeat the Jaguar.

Lions may face a challenge to the species’ long reign as king of the jungle, after scientists from Oxford University found that tigers have the bigger brains. “However, the tiger has bigger cranial volume than the lion. …
