In the carnivals of Ancient Rome, fascinating monsters, including lions and tigers were generally hollowed against each other. The challenge of the lion against the tiger was a great blending and the wagering normally supported the tiger.

A tiger called "Gunga" that had a place with the King of Oude murdered thirty lions, and decimated another in the wake of being exchanged to the zoological patio nursery in London. A British officer who dwelled numerous years at Sierra Leone saw numerous battles amongst lions and tigers, and the tiger normally won.
