The lion may have its own Disney movie, while the tiger is usually seen as a villian, but there is little doubt as who is the most powerful cat in the world. The tiger outweighs the lion, is a stronger hunter, and has many incredible qualities that, in my eyes, make it the most remarkable of all big cats. Here are 22 facts that will prove my point!

1. Tigers have such powerful legs that even after death, they can sometimes remain standing!

2. Move over lion king, you're not the biggest cat. Tigers ARE the biggest cats, weighing up to 300 kg (700 pounds).

3. If you stare at a tiger in the eyes, there is less of a chance it will attack you.

4. A bit like regular cats, for the first week of their lives tigers are completely blind. Half of them do not make it to adulthood.

5. All tigers have a white spot on the back of their ears called an ocelli.

6. Tigers can use their saliva to disinfect wounds, as their saliva contains antiseptic materials. So instead of kissing, they can lick and make it better.
