 Caspian tiger's closest geno, were of Siberian tiger's by only a

 fraction off there Dna. So in term's scientist have concluded, they

 were imported from Siberia an fought with the Barbary lion.

 There's only one source for all story's that has branched out for a

 victory of a tiger side, over the lion in the gladiator event's. It

 was a man name Martial peter's who saw a tiger kill a lion in the

 arena. Every time you here tiger's invaribly won, or the tiger won is

 manipulated to have been every match... but every one unbeknownst are

 only quoting martial peter's, who they ignore's his remnent an

 scripture, which say's that was very unexpected an was a rarity to see

 a tiger win, meaning lion's were usally the dominant animal. That's

 absouletly the only account on hand that date's that far back for the

 tiger's side, which were blown out of porportion's of claiming that

 was the usaul outcome.

 On the other hand there are over 15 historical artifact's an over 10

 remnent's an scripture's, that explain the lion was the usual victor

 in the gladitorial event's here...

 -1. “Next, the arena was lowered to feature combat between them as

 lions tore apart tigers, an went up against bears, leopards against

 wolves. It goes without saying that the Romans had never heard of

 animal rights.”

 ~Ken Spiro; WorldPerfect

 2. “The amphitheatre had grown so still, that the clear melody of the

 flute was distinctly audible over the whole vast space. As soon as the

 disturbance ceased, the king of the beast, apparently untroubled by

 the new visitor, returned to his food. But the cowardice, peculiar to

 nocturnal beasts in the daylight, awoke in the tiger. He beheld in the

 shrieking multitude friends of the flute-player, and seeing the lion

 eating, seized the nearest piece of meat. But with a single bound the

 lion sprang forward, roaring loudly, to defend his property. The

 tiger’s claws clutched the lion’s and a fierce struggle began. The

 lion aimed terrible blows at his antagonist, which the tiger avoided

 with marvelous skill; the tiger’s teeth seized the lion’s mane, but at

 the same instant the latter tore off with his claws from the upper

 part of the tiger’s head half the skin, from which an eat and a broad

 trail of blood upon the sand, the tiger returned to his cage, where he

 howled piteously. The grating was raised, and soon only a faint

 whining was audible. Either the animal was dying, or the keepers had

 stupefied him to be able to cure him. The lion stood fiercely over his

 prey, which no one now disputed.”

 ~Antinous; a Romance of Ancient Rome

 3. “They took on tigers, bears, bulls, and wild boars. Usually the

 lion won. page 284”

 4. "Another subspecies very closely related to the Asian lion - the

 Barbary lion or Panthera leo leo - became extinct in the wild in 1922

 (in Morocco). This animal the Barbary lion had been the dominant

 animal in the blood sports of the Roman arenas."

 ~Martin Seyer's dissertation (synopsis), Vienna University.

 5.Tiger territory, AKA lairweb .com has stated tiger's were reluctant

 to enter combat as much as lion's greeted foe's in the arena, also

 proven in same concept of everland's video's how male lion's show high

 agression at time's an drive off tiger's proclaiming there natrual

 dominant trait's.

 6. An half way down, in this archive here, they state roman's cheered

 when lion's tore apart tiger's...
