Great white shark vs Siberian tiger, one is the second fish who laughs at the ocean, the other is the second brother of the cat family who dominates the land, if these two beasts are one-on-one frontal hard steel, who will laugh to the end? In this issue, the Director of the Exploration Bureau will declassify it for you.
1. Eligibility to participate in the war
We all know that a cat's favorite appetizer is fish. In the countryside, our domestic cats will choose to go down to the field to catch fish, even if it is human fish, they will sneak to steal food, so it is very infuriating. The tiger is a typical big cat, and the great white shark is a pure fish, so according to the logic of "cat eating fish", then the tiger loves to eat the great white shark, which should be an inevitable result. However, great white sharks are not ordinary herbivorous fish, and their appetizers are mainly meat. So, please don't think that the great white shark is only eaten in front of the tiger.
Of course, the great white shark is second only to killer whales in the marine world, and tigers are second only to lions on land. They are both second brothers, large animals of their respective species. In terms of tigers, the Siberian tiger is the largest subspecies of tigers in existence, so it is reasonable to represent the tiger side in the war. So great white shark vs Siberian tiger, I think it should be the hope of everyone. Now that we have chosen our ring players, the director will introduce the strength of both sides.
2. Great white shark
The great white shark is also called "piranha" and "piranha shark", and from this name alone, it can be seen that this fish is a very ferocious beast. The great white shark mainly lives in the cold and warm temperature zones, and is active from below the surface to the depth of 1280 on the continental slope, and is common in the East China Sea, the northeast of Taiwan, and the South China Sea. This shark belongs to the mackerel shark family, the man-eating shark genus, and is a large carnivorous fish. The adult great white shark is 4.3-4.6 meters long and weighs between 520-770 kg. However, the largest individual length ever recorded is 6 meters long, longer than a pickup truck.
The great white shark is spindle-shaped, with a thick torso, a depression above and below the base of the tail, and a lateral protrusion of the tail stalk. Their mouths are large and wide, their jaws are extremely short, and their teeth leak out when they are closed, which looks very sinister. Their teeth are large, up to 10-16 cm long, jagged in shape, and can easily pierce and separate the body of their prey. With these excellent talents, the bite force of the great white shark can also be as high as 4000 psi. In addition to their easy to identify body size, the great white shark is most impressive in its color, with a bluish-gray back and a pale to white belly.
Because of its combat effectiveness, it also makes the great white shark's temperament very fierce, so that they roam unscrupulously in the ocean, with almost no natural enemies. In the ocean, no matter what animals they see, they will arrogantly rush to each other. They have an average cruising speed of 3.2 km/h and a maximum speed of 25 km/h, so they can easily catch a lot of prey. They hunt a variety of fish, including sharks, turtles, seals, crabs and whales. And according to records, great white sharks are also the fish that attack humans the most.
3. Siberian tiger
The Siberian tiger, officially known as the Siberian Tiger and the Amur Tiger, is the largest surviving tiger subspecies. Of course, I need to popularize the science here, the Siberian tiger in wild conditions has shrunk to a smaller tiger subspecies than the wild Bengal tiger due to its extremely reduced food. However, the Siberian tigers under the breeding conditions have sufficient food and do not need to force themselves to shrink in order to adapt to the environment, they are still the largest tiger subspecies, so it can be said that the Siberian tiger is still the largest tiger subspecies. Male Siberian tigers weigh between 190 and 210 kg, are 1.1 m tall on the shoulders and 3.1 m long in the tail.
Siberian tigers are mainly distributed in parts of eastern Russia, northeast China and North Korea, and once had a large number of Siberian tigers and a wide range of distribution areas, but due to the cruel hunting and habitat destruction of humans in recent centuries, the habitat of this large insect has seriously shrunk. It is estimated that there are only about 600 wild Siberian tigers left in the world, the vast majority of which live in Russia. Therefore, the world has named this "Siberian Tiger", "Amur Tiger" and "Russian Tiger", only Chinese habit is called "Siberian Tiger".
The tiger's body hair is longer and thicker than other subspecies, which also makes them more adaptable to cold habitats. Their limbs are strong, especially the back muscles can support the entire body to stand for a long time; at the same time, the body muscle density reaches 65%, the skeleton is very large, which also creates a very powerful force. They have large heads, muscular upper and lower jaws, four canine teeth up to 7.8 cm long, and a bite force of 950 psi. Their killing method is very simple and crude, that is, directly lock the throat, either bite the jugular vein of the prey, or twist the neck of the prey to suffocate it.
4. Ultimate Showdown
After the above analysis, it is time to fight. Great white shark vs Siberian tiger, who is more effective?
From the above data analysis, we can see that the great white shark weighs almost 2 times more than the Siberian tiger, and the bite force is 4 times that of the Siberian tiger. No matter how you look at it, neither side seems to be a heavyweight opponent. However, we all know that tigers hunt large prey, Bengal tigers can hunt elephants, then The Siberian tiger can naturally do the same. Therefore, even if the great white shark is much larger, the Siberian tiger cannot be frightened from the momentum.
However, the battle between the two sides is certainly greatly influenced by the location of the battle. If on land, then the great white shark cannot walk, and the Siberian tiger can eat it without fighting at all. And if the battle takes place in the water, then the great white shark naturally has a great advantage, but our Siberian tiger will not go to the land like the great white shark and will only wait for death, the Siberian tiger will not only swim, but also whether it is backstroke or diving, it is a must, so the great white shark can not do the point of second kill. Therefore, it can be said that the great white shark is more affected by the battle site, while the Siberian tiger is less affected by the battle site, which is undoubtedly the better of the Siberian tiger.
But if we imagine this scenario, where a Siberian tiger fights a great white shark in the water on the shore, what happens?
I can imagine that the Siberian tigers will still have an advantage. Because the Siberian tiger has more weapons, it may not bite the great white shark, but its claws are very flexible and can quickly and agilely slap the face of the great white shark. According to Tiger Blow, a tiger can slap 10 tons of strength, a second can shoot 10 slaps, that is equivalent to 1 second can produce 100 tons of power, even if limited by the battle site can not use full strength, at least a second 5 slaps, each slap 5 tons of strength is still there. We may as well calculate that the weight of the great white shark is only 770 kilograms at most, and when it is slapped by 5 consecutive 5 tons of force in a second, the fish head may be crushed no matter how hard it is. Even if it is not broken, but the great white shark is a fish, the outer skin of the fish is already very fragile, if the Siberian tiger did not shoot the great white shark, it is enough to cause serious injuries.
On the other hand, the attack of the great white shark is very small, its tail sweep and body collision can not play any advantage at all on this occasion, the only thing it can attack is to bite with its mouth, because it is in the water and the Siberian tiger is on the shore, while its own movement is slow, the Siberian tiger is so agile, although as long as it bites the Siberian tiger, it can kill the other party, but it is quite difficult to bite the Siberian tiger. And under the force of the Siberian tiger for several minutes and 5 tons per second, it is still difficult to predict how long the great white shark can withstand to find the opportunity to bite the Siberian tiger.
In summary, the director finally concluded that although the great white shark has the strength to bite the Siberian tiger with one blow, the Siberian tiger will still have a 60% chance of defeating the great white shark.
