Both of these are incredibly powerful animals in their own right; one as an apex predator and one is a tank of an animal.
Tigers are can weigh up to 600 pounds and measure around 11 feet long.
They are also one of the tallest cats in the world, with a shoulder height of around 3.3 feet.
On average, Rhinos weigh 4,000-6,000 pounds and measure over 14 feet in length.
They are almost twice as tall as the tiger and measure 6.5 feet at the withers.
Interestingly, both species are solitary creatures, with tigers preferring to hunt alone and rhinos generally only interacting with other rhinos during mating season.
They inhabit dense tropical forests, swamps, and grasslands.
Moreover, they need a lot of space to roam and hunt, as they are solitary animals that require large territories.
Depending on the species (there’s two African species and three Asian species) rhinos can be found in grasslands, savannas, and dense forests.
They are apex predators and are capable of hunting a wide range of prey, including deer, wild boar, buffalo, and even smaller predators like leopards and crocodiles.
Rhinos have a specialized digestive system that allows them to break down tough plant material.
They are known to eat a variety of vegetation, including grasses, leaves, shoots, branches, and fruits.
Both possess infrared vision, which means they can see well at night, enabling them to find food after dark more effectively than most other animals.
Rhinos capable of charging up to 40 miles per hour despite being such huge and sturdy animals.
Tigers have powerful hearing, which helps them detect danger, sometimes approaching 1.2 miles away!
