To further that point about hybrids, I have wondered how a liger and tigon would be like in the wild.

Spotted Hyena here is Lion i.e.., Social and dominating (most of the time)

Leopard referred as Tiger i.e.., lone and dominating only in some cases like in one on one.

Just an example.

Not even close at being similar..
Hyenas aren’t behaving in the same way cats are, they aren’t usually aggressive except when fighting for food, they might snach a smaller carnivore or cubs from the larger ones. Exceptions will occur when a injuried  lion or leopard is targeted, but the hyenas will kill to eat. So if hyenas doesn’t see an oppertunity for food or gets provoked in other ways they will rarely attack the other predators. Also leopards can easially avoid hyenas by climbing trees. Hyenas do not hate leopards and without food to fight for, they can be seen walking side by side without aggression. Leopards will also hide cubs in trees and buches where they would be hard to reach for a leopard, same goes for Hyena pups which will be hidden in dens protected heavily by the clan.

Lions and tigers on the other hand are both big and heavy neither are great climbers. They are similar buildt, only difference is that lions are social, and the tigers are bigger. They would hate one another intesely and at every oppertunity try to kill eachother. And they would have a difficulty shareing the same reserve. Tigeresses and cubs especially would be an easy target for a coalition of male lions. Lionesses will likely do better in groups.

I still don't understand how hybrids haven't been seen in modern history?

I find it unusual that a Tigress in heat hasn't come across a lone Male Lion looking for territory and proceeded to mate and produce cubs, it just seems like that scenario would happen if they did truly share jungle space throughout history. At least when looking at Captive situations we can see examples of this, even in parks like Everland where they both live together in numbers.
I don't think it's nearly as likely with a Lioness and a Male Tiger though, since lioness are rarely seen alone. My guess would be that in areas where both shared habitat, Tigress would leave to another area before announcing and scent marking but that is only a hypothesis.

Quote:The Committee recommends that wild life experts may be consulted for exploring relocating/shifting some of the lions in nearby areas/other sanctuaries outside Gujarat.

MP CM writes to PM on translocating Guj lions to Kuno

Quote:After declaration of National Park status to Kuno Plapur by increasing 413 sq km area and making approximately 800 km2 of NP in 1200 km2 Kuno wildlife division, the relocation of villages and house holds/families outside Reserve has already started by sending the post-displacement proposal from Reserve management staff to government.
