Bengal Tigress Kills African lioness.

 Lion Versus Tiger.

It is popularly supposed that the lion is the most courageous and powerful of the carnivora, or at least of the felidae ; but on the few recorded occasions of a battle-royal between the lion and the Bengal Tiger, the lion has come off second best. One such combat occured recently at Calcutta Zoo between an African lioness and a tigress. They were in adjoining compartments of the same cage, and the door having been carelessly opened between the two compartments, the tigress rushed in and disposed of her rival in a fight which lasted about ten minutes.
