A Bengal tiger has killed a lion at Ankara Zoo after finding a gap in the fence separating their cages, say zoo officials in the Turkish capital.
The tiger severed the lion's jugular vein in a single stroke with its paw, leaving the animal dying in a pool of blood, officials said.

The zoo says it is safe for visitors, despite the incident.

“turkish” is synonymous with “fail”
Everything these people do turns to crap. They can’t even run a zoo.
Look at Egypt now. For years it’s been “British have our stuff! Give it!”. Now “their stuff” is being looted AGAIN, while the heritage in Britain is as safe as it’s been for 150 years.

There was an animal planet show about this very subject 2 or 3 years back.
Result: Tiger beats Lion; Jaguar beats Tiger. Nothing beats Jaguar; it is the strongest and largest of all the big cats.

Always wondered which would win a tiger/lion battle.I'm seeing in other reports that it wasn't a fight. The tiger was able to reach its paw through a gap in the fence to slash the lion.

A jaguar is bigger and stronger than a tiger? Don’t think so.
Some tigers grow to 600 pounds.
