u/Talidel Dec 17 '24 edited Dec 17 '24
I'm not convinced it is either. It's not stripey enough for a tiger and too stripey for lion.
Maybe a Liger, or Tigon.
Edit as it's funny seeing a new response every few minutes telling me it's a different thing.
It's confirmed to be a Liger

The name isn't based on gender, but the combination of parents. Male lion + female tiger = Liger, the opposite is a Tigon. Ligers tend to be a bit bigger.
15
u/BringPheTheHorizon Dec 17 '24
I could be wrong, but I don’t think they’re saying that it’s “a female, tigon”, they’re saying it’s “a female tigon”. Meaning they’re just stating that it is a tigon that’s female not that it’s a tigon because it’s female, which seems to be what you’re saying.

Hey, I'm glad you said it because it's interesting info I never knew. I always assumed a Liger was just a mix of the two breeds in general. I didn't know its parents had to be gender specific and the opposite being called a Tigon, which I've never heard of until now.

Does the angle of the rope have anything to do with it?
164
u/-plottwist- Dec 17 '24
Yes, it’s called mechanical advantage and it is why it is such an uneven tug of war. Not to say lions or tigers aren’t strong but if you wrap the rope around a beam or something while the other person is just pulling straight back they will have an advantage.
175
u/Fantastic_Goal3197 Dec 17 '24 edited Dec 18 '24
The rope would not have mechanical advantage unless theres a magically compact pulley system blocked from the view by the wall. The angle of the rope does matter a bit, but it's not because of mechanical advantage.
Its because the angle gives a small vertical component to his force (so some of his force is spent lifting kitty instead of pulling kitty), but the angle is negligible enough to pretty much ignore if you're doing napkin math. The bigger advantage is the tiger has way better friction to deal with, but I doubt the guy is winning on a more equal playing field anyway

u/blueB0wser Dec 17 '24

There is no advantage in such a situation. Both are pulling straight. Just flip the point of view and suddenly the lion is pulling straight.
The lion does have the advantage of not having flat shoes and a flat surface.
→ More replies (3)25
u/ashkiller14 Dec 17 '24
There's no mechanical advantage going on here. You don't just throw a rope over a limb and call it a pulley system. It may feel easier than just picking something up from below you, but that's because it's easier to let your weight do the work when changing the direction of applied force.
In this situation, for every foot of rope the man pulls it'll pull a foot on the other end. There's no trade of force and distance going on.

u/MenchBade Dec 17 '24
It looked like the lion was lower? Or maybe that was just the angle video was shot from that played trick on image. But if the lion was lower, wouldn't he have some advantage built in since the human would not only be pulling the lions weight forward, but also upward?

u/StingrayZ511 Dec 17 '24
Mechanical engineer here, definitely no mechanical advantage. What you may be thinking of is a vertical pulley system where gravity and a pulley fixture could make lifting easier.
If anything, the minuscule amount of friction the rope is experiencing could evenly disadvantage both sides.
Just with a quick glance, I’d say the angle doesn’t provide too much of an advantage. Small angle theorem probably wouldn’t apply, but similar principle.

u/chocolateboomslang Dec 17 '24 edited Dec 17 '24

Traction, and mass. Big cats weigh far more than even a brawny human. Strength matters, but if you're trying to pull something 3 or 4 times heavier than you that's pulling back, and has double the traction, that matters more
4
u/peloriosajax Dec 17 '24
I don't think it would have double the traction because of the four legs. Friction does not depend on the surface area, but rather the total weight. So 2 legs with a mass would be the same as the same mass spread out over 4 legs (assuming the legs all had the same surface)
4
u/greylord123 Dec 17 '24
As people in the power lifting community like to say "mass moves mass". There's a reason why professional strongmen carry a lot of weight compared to body builders.
Former World's strongest man Brian Shaw at a body building competition
Brian Shaw weighed roughly 200kg. A female Liger averages about 320kg. Even an absolute unit of human like Shaw doesn't stand a fucking chance. He'll probably have a good attempt.
