Among cats, the strongest are undoubtedly tigers, followed by lions and leopards. But their bite force ranking is not very much related to the strength ranking. According to scientists, the jaguar's bite force is the strongest among cats.
That being the case, if there are 2 jaguars, can they gain an advantage in the battle against a Bengal tiger?
In terms of the combat effectiveness of land animals, cats are definitely the most famous. This can also be seen from another point, that is, Africa's well-known "African Three Brothers", they are lions, spotted hyenas and leopards, all belong to the cat suborder. Yes, you read that right, spotted hyenas, though they carry the word "dog," are more closely related to cats and are not the canines we think they are.
If you talk about the individual combat ability of all cats, it must be the Bengal tiger is the strongest. Although we all know that the Siberian tiger is the largest, its population is sparse, and in the vast Siberian mountains, there is not much competitive pressure in food, and the life is much better than that of the Bengal tiger.
The Bengal tiger fights with some fierce beasts, such as crocodiles and pythons, and also preys on some powerful herbivores, such as bison, elephants, etc., so their combat skills are much better than those of the Siberian tiger.
But the bite force of felines has little hard correlation with their actual combat capabilities. According to the long-term research of scientists, the bite force of the jaguar is actually the most powerful among cats, reaching a staggering 1250 pounds. For Bengal tigers and lions, there are only 1,025 pounds and 1,000 pounds, which is data from Wikipedia, and if you look at it, the jaguar has surpassed the Bengal tiger.
Since this is the case, can the 2 jaguars, who have no advantage in size, use the super bite force to defeat a Bengal tiger?
In terms of distribution area, the jaguar and the Bengal tiger cannot meet naturally, after all, one of them is seeking a living in the Americas and the other is dominating the jungles of Asia. Therefore, we can only analyze it from the perspective of body shape and life habits.
As an adult Bengal tiger, they can weigh 300 to 500 pounds, second only to the "largest tiger" Ofberian tiger. Jaguars weigh between 70 and 300 kilograms. In terms of body size, there is no comparison between the two of them. Even the smallest Bengal tiger can match the weight of 2 jaguars. Therefore, in terms of body size, they are at most equally divided, and the Bengal tiger is theoretically more dominant.
The main prey of jaguars is some small and medium-sized animals such as sloths and capybaras, but the favorite is the caiman, and the combat ability is the top in the Americas. Moreover, their bite force is enough to open some hard shells. It can be seen from this that their combat effectiveness is still relatively superb.
However, Bengal tigers, all year round, also deal with a variety of large and small animals, generally deer, wild boar, bison, etc., there are also reports that Bengal tigers have defeated crocodiles, so their strength should not be underestimated.
So which of them is better or weaker?
In many records, there are records of tigers easily defeating leopards, and leopards defeating tigers are classified as fantasies, and even if they are, they are strong against weak. Therefore, under the absolute advantage of body size, the tiger can kill the leopard with one blow, and it can drag the prey weighing hundreds of pounds to walk. In this way, if they really fight, it is likely that the tiger will catch a jaguar in one bite, make it powerless to resist, do a good job of defense, and insist until the jaguar in the mouth loses its breath, and the next jaguar will only be "mouth to mouth".
On the whole, the Bengal tiger hunting jaguar itself is a complete suppression of strength, in the face of absolute strength, 2 jaguars will hurt the Bengal tiger at most, which is not enough to win. If you have to estimate, there must be at least 3 or 4 jaguars to make the Bengal tiger inseparable from the attack, and thus be consumed to death.
