One line saying tigers get into fights is really not evidence for them being the most aggressive big cats, anyway.
the scan has to do more with the leopard's attitude than the tiger. I'm pretty sure Lion's are as ruthless as Tigers,maybe even more. Anyway meriting the title of most aggressive to a feline is pretty subjective as it can be defined as many things. Both lions and tigers see almost every animal as a competitor and kill other animals for the sake of killing, the only difference is that Tigers do it to animals near their weight. Does the leopard show this characteristic? someone enlighten me

Tigers do it against different species of bears near the same size. Usually they like to kill smaller bears (like any predator would) although killing a bear around parity isn't uncommon. I don't really see this type of trait in leopards

I enjoy using words in new contexts. I define aggression as:

- intraspecific or interspecific attacking or intimidating of species for reasons other than food

My knowledge on felines specifically is limited but I would say lions. If only intraspecific.
