Alaskan Moose can weigh up to 1800 pounds. There was a case where a blind moose fought off a wolf pack. And unlike bovids, the tiger cannot hamstring the moose because it can kick with all 4 legs. The moose's antlers also have multiple tines so they can inflict more puncture wounds than horns can. This whole thing about predatory instinct is overrated in interspecific conflict IMO. Just because you are not a predator doesn't compromise your fighting ability or aggression. The tiger is opportunistic like all predators. It mainly attacks the young, females, and old individuals. Rarely will it target a prime healthy moose ready to stand his ground. The tiger is fighting for food. The moose is fighting for its life. Of course the moose is going to fight harder. In fact, predators fail to kill animals of similar size all the time. So I don't understand why people always praise their fighting and hunting skills. More often than not, carnivores do poorly in hunts. And carnivores also have a lot more to lose than herbivores in serious fights. If the moose even inflicted a minor injury on a tiger, it can lead to an infection later on and compromise the predator's life. Besides, felines are incredibly risk averse and back down from herbivores less formidable than a moose when the latter wants to fight. So I must choose the moose 7/10 times. fighting for food is fighting for your life, no food you die, besides this is a fight to the death both animals are fighting for there lives. If you do not understand the advantage having predatory adaptations im not even going to debate this with you. Oh and before you start saying I'm a tiger hater, I actually favored the tiger over the brown bear and the lion.

I supported the tiger quite a bit for someone who isn't particularly fond of them.

Definitely the Siberian Tiger, I vote the tiger for this fight. As Siberian Tigers have the capability to take down grizzlies. A Tiger just latches onto it like a lion does to a hippo, and then starts eating at the back. And at least eventually, the bull moose should die due to the severe bite pain the tiger is causing. Mind you, Siberian Tigers eat Brown Bears and Black Bears. And after the Moose dies, it can't do anything, and so the Tiger just eats the dead corpse and leaves the remains. If a Siberian Tiger was fighting it from the front, it can be injured from the antlers, unless the tiger just quickly claws its face, or dodges the antlers with a good dodge. Then, the Tiger just latches onto the front while the moose charges, RIGHT in the middle of both antlers, just biting the top, although the moose would probably try to run into something on PURPOSE to try to injure the Siberian Tiger, the only thing a Siberian Tiger can do in a time like THAT is to probably find a way to crawl onto the moose's head, reach the back, and start biting the back neck parts. Siberian Tigers are just too dangerous for a bull moose, as it has the moose killed on every side. Try attacking from the back? The tiger bites onto the back, until the moose starts dying due to lack of blood. Front? The Tiger can either, 1: Dodge the antlers if lucky, or 2: Claw it's face. Try attacking it from either side, Left or Right? The Tiger might as well keep biting the side it's on, as long as it claws the moose at the same time. Most people also think that Siberian Tigers win anyway.

Surely the tiger will destroy the moose by a sudden bite in the neck with 10 cm fangs and breaking its neck with a 500 kg force with its massive arms . Or jumping on the moose's back and biting its spinal chord . end

This is sooo... ..a predator-prey scenario, giant deer & antelope (inc' eland, even bigger than moose), are routinely killed by big panthera..

Moose dies...
Adept tiger who kills water-buffalo by controlled rupture of vulnerable/vital neck structures - vertebral/pulmonary-vascular complexes - will readily destroy moose, using the same attack technique.
Cousin panthera, Leo - does likewise to larger ungulates than moose - viz: giant eland, in Africa. & even a sympatric (smaller/non-panthera) cat, the cougar - is on the record - as being a moose-killer.
Bull moose antlers are for display & contest purposes with rival moose, & far too cumbersome to deter, or usefully defend - against typical accurate, cat-quick 'blitz-attack' - predation method.

logically the tiger would win Moose are very strong do not get me wrong but they don't know what it's like to hunt only to run. Tigers on the other hand have the advantage with that skill they know the weak spots even though they usually go for the hamstrings, the tigers would know that moose tend to kick as their defense and another advantage the tiger has is how it maneuvers, if it were a 1v1 situation the tiger would have a difficult time and decide that if it could keep the moose defending itself it could eventually wear it down just enough so it could time its attack and use that opening when the moose's leg is still retracting it could attack one of the many vital spots. their is no way that one attack would finish off the moose and the tiger knows that, it also know that it injured the moose and slowly but surely the tiger will pick off at the moose until eventually...it dies. the tiger would not go for the quick and easy finish but instead use its adaptive way of thinking and attacking far above it's advantage. It would be a long and tense fight but the outcome in which the tiger winning at the end is ALMOST guaranteed.
