Friends, time doesn't stop for anyone, it just flows at its own pace. Different species of animals came to Earth at different points in time, including the most terrifying and deadly tiger species. About 11,000 years ago, the subspecies of tiger that ruled the earth was the Solo tiger. The Solo Tiger, also known as the Angdong Tiger or the Javan Tiger, is a very dangerous and terrifying tiger. Now what would happen if we could use the time machine to bring this tiger back to the modern era? What happens if a Solo tiger faces the largest surviving tiger subspecies, the Siberian tiger? I think it's going to be a very exciting and great battle.
So next, let's take a look at who will win, the Solo Tiger and the Siberian Tigers?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > physical condition</h1>
A small number of Fossils of the Solo Tiger indicate that it was about the size of the modern Bengal tiger. Other specimens, however, show that it is larger than any modern tiger. A Solo tiger is up to 3.5 meters long from head to tail and may be more than 1.2 meters long at the shoulders. It is estimated that the average weight of the Solo Tiger is between 250 - 350 kg. But according to the analysis of the fossils that have been found, the maximum weight can reach 480 kilograms.
Male Siberian tigers can reach an average length of 3.3 meters from head to tail, shoulder heights of 1.1 meters, and can weigh up to 280-320 kg, but recent studies of wild Siberian tigers have shown that they weigh only 190-210 kg. In 1986, a Siberian tiger became the holder of a captive weight record at 423 kg and was named the "largest cat" by the Guinness Book of World Records.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" > habitat</h1>
The Solo Tiger lived during the Pleistocene period and was found in the Sundaland region of Indonesia. Fossils of the Solo Tiger were mainly unearthed near the village of Ang Dong, hence the name. In the Late Pleistocene, about 195,000 years ago, the Solo Tiger lived around the entire earth.
The Siberian tiger lives at higher latitudes with colder climates, and today it can be found in coniferous and birch forests in northeastern China, North Korea and eastern Russia.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" > third, speed</h1>
The average speed of the Solo Tiger is around 50 kilometers per hour, but I am not 100% sure of its speed. Siberian tigers can reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour, but they can only run for a short distance, not as long as lions.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" ></h1>
There is no exact figure for the bite force of the Solo Tiger. But it is estimated that its bite force is about 1350 pounds of force compared to the Siberian tiger. On the other hand, an adult male Siberian tiger can produce about 950-1000 pounds of strength in a single bite.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" >5</h1>
Both big cats have claws about 10 cm long, but the canine teeth of the Solo tiger are about 13.3 cm long, while the canine teeth of the Siberian tiger are only 9.9 cm long. In addition, they have 30 teeth in their jaws.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" > six, agility</h1>
According to the study, the skeletons of the Solo tiger and the Siberian tiger show that their agility is roughly comparable. But because of the low weight and more flexibility, I would put the Siberian Tiger a little ahead.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" >7</h1>
The soro tiger's prey includes cattle, wild boar, baby elephants, rhinos, etc., to eliminate such a huge prey requires a lot of force, and this cat must have a certain huge body; in the habitat, the main competitor of the Solo tiger may be the large hyena.
Siberian tigers, on the other hand, hunt elk, wild boar, hares and birds, and occasionally ambush brown bears. In their habitat, they have few competitors, such as brown bears and wolves. They also occasionally clash with their competitors.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="39" >8, the final showdown</h1>
With all the comparisons above, the biggest question now is, if they go head-to-head, who will win?
There is no doubt that both big cats are very powerful top carnivores in their respective habitats. However, the Solo Tiger is slightly larger than the Siberian Tiger, but on the other hand, the Siberian Tiger is faster and more agile than the Soro Tiger. The outcome of a particular battle may depend on the individuals involved, the environment, and their fighting style, so the environment is the most important factor in the battle.
Since these two big cats belong to different habitats, the Solo Tiger will gain a greater advantage in temperate tropical forests. There is no doubt that it will easily defeat the Siberian tigers, so the winner here is the Solo Tiger. But on the other hand, if this battle takes place at cold high latitudes, then the Siberian tigers will certainly gain more advantages. After a long fight, it can definitely kill the Solo Tiger, so the winner here is the Siberian Tiger.
If we search the past history, we will find that the Siberian tiger has also set many world records in terms of size and weight. So body size is not the most important factor in battle. But it is true that on average, the Solo Tiger is larger, heavier, more aggressive, more ferocious, and more aggressive than the Siberian Tiger. So if I had to give these two animals a full star rating of 5 stars, I would give the Solo Tiger 5 stars and the Siberian Tiger 4 stars.
The suspense of this game is certainly very big, but in my opinion, the Solo Tigers have a 60% chance of winning this battle against the Siberian Tigers, but it is not so easy. Do you agree with me? Feel free to express your views in the comments section.
