To the question of which is biggest cat, many people would answer lion without hesitation. In the animal chess popular among schoolboys in the 70s and 80s, the lion (b)eats the tiger. However in reality, the tiger is the biggest cat and the king of cats, not the lion.
A lion (particularly a male lion) projects the impression that it's bigger and therefore more powerful than a tiger with it's mane, just as a bearded man would look a more imposing stature than a clean shaven man.
The lion not only looks bigger but sounds bigger. The volume of its roar beats that of the tiger's, just as a man talking louder sounds more powerful. The lion's roar won it the King of the Jungle title over the tiger. Anyway, a tiger's roar is also loud enough to scare more than half of the jungle sending them fleeing or knees weak with diarrhoea.
Only three species of cats can roar, all lions, all tigers and the bigger leopard families. No other animal species can roar like they do.
