Answer:
Built for the Hunt
As big cats that have to hunt for their food, both lion and tiger share a number of anatomical features. Both have sharp, retractable claws, both have powerful legs and both have a sharp set of fangs with which to deliver deadly bites to their prey.
Blending in Perfectly
Although they have very different coats, the function of these coats is exactly the same. The lion’s sandy, solid-colored coat performs exactly the same function as the tiger’s stripes -- making each animal practically invisible to its prey until it is too late. Lions live on open plains, and tigers live in the jungle, so each cat’s coat is perfectly adapted to hide them in their natural habitat.

<em>“Then he found therein a band of nobles asleep after the feast: they felt no sorrow, no misery of men. The creature of evil, grim and fierce, was quickly ready, savage and cruel, and seized from their rest thirty thanes.”</em>
The hall stood empty for twelve years because Grendel repeated his number of visits, and whoever visited that hall met the same fate as earlier. Hence, the way Grendel slaughtered the soldiers, they are considered to be brave. Therefore, nobody had the courage to defeat Grendel.
