Cougar vs Tiger
Head-to-head comparison using the same scoring engine as the interactive analysis below: size, mobility, weapons, durability, endurance, aggression, and intelligence — starting on land.
Tiger carries a 250-to-68 kg mass advantage that eliminates most opportunities for Cougar to control the engagement. Body size sets the physical terms before any weapon lands. Cougar's bite remains a real threat, but absorbing punishment while bridging the mass gap is the central tactical problem.
Model verdict: Under the default land environment, Tiger is the statistical favourite (57% win probability in this model).
