There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

It was you that posted claims from wildlife experts and kesri singh that the Bengal tiger drove the Asiatic lion out of Kuno, which IS NOT true. You posted half truth on kesri singh's account, but you did not post the other guy that boldchamp mentions. I simply responded to your post, which is what is done on this site. Now I implore you to tell the truth, the WHOLE truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you GOD.
Well, it's pretty plausible.
Suppose an old pride-male, (or two) from a prized territory is ousted by a young Tiger, then the females will most likely choose to shift home range in presence of a hostile animal & absence of their mate.
Now all the new champion has to do is wait, until a young tigress, ousted by her mother & stronger sisters, looking for new lands & mate arrive.
On the other hand if an old Tiger gets replaced by a nomadic coalition, they will have achieved nothing! (unless there is a lion-pride residing nearby, in which case they will have to fight their males AGAIN & possibly relocate there.)
As any new youngadult lioness will stay latched to her home-pride even after she grows up, territorial expansion can only be possible after a pride overgrows it's capacity & splits.
Lions take over prides, while tigers take over territories.
