Is it true that the tiger exceed lion in size and strength?
Yeah they are bigger in size and strength. However I have to disagree with Fallen Angel. The largest cat in the world is a cross between a male lion and a female tiger. Its called a Liger and weighs in at an impressive 544kg (1200 lb) however it was breed in captivity as they dont exist in the wild. Shasta, a ligress (female liger) was born at the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City on May 14th, 1948 and died in 1972 at age 24. The 1973 Guinness world records reported an 18 year old, 798 kg (1756 lb) male liger living at Bloemfontein zoological gardens, South Africa in 1888.
