Over the course of nine months or so in 1898, a pair of maneless male lions systematically killed 28-35 railroad workers in Kenya. The first one was shot once by a hunter, and then returned that night to hunt that same man in return - the second died later, mortally wounded, shot five times, and still trying to reach the hunter. Scary!

The tiger's skin is striped, and even the rare white tiger has bluish stripes on its skin.
(Not that interesting, I know. xP)

Pumas, Cougars, Mountain lions, Mexican lions, Screaming cats and Mountain screamers are all the same species of big cat, the fourth heaviest species in the world and are actually more closely related to the domestic cat than the Big Cat family

Lions and other big cats have few sweat glands but they can pant up to 200 times per minutes to cool down.

One thing that my boyfriend was asked a lot while working at Disney World was, "how can you tell if a Tiger is male or female?" His response: "Well, you look at the Tiger, then you look around, and if you're still in Disney's Animal Kingdom it's female."

Tigons, the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion (never the other way around; that's a different beast entirely), are almost never as large as either of their parents - both male tigers and female lions possess growth-inhibiting genes, while female tigers and male lions do not (which is why their offspring are so ungodly huge, lol).

Pregnant lions still go on the hunt. In order to protect the babies, each developing lion cub in the womb is surrounded by a hammock-like "cushion", which absorbs impact from the mama's leaping around and wrestling with giant prey, like wildebeest. :3

The tendons in a tiger's leg are very strong. So strong in fact that a tiger was shot and killed, but it remained standing; that's proof of the strength of those tendons!
