Personal Opinion & Speculations

@LonePredator :

About #48: I seriously think that you are overestimating the tiger's strength, tiger's potentialities, too much. I understand that you are admiring the striped cat, but here you're completely raving. The only way for lions to survive in a savannah dominated by tigers would be to grow smaller in size. Big gag !
During the prehistoric times, unlike the tigers, lions were everywhere, in Africa, in America, in Europa, and in Siberia despite a much fierce competition than nowaday (bears, shot faced bears, grey wolves, sabertooth cats... And tigers). And now because they would face to a new predator, their only way to adapt would be becoming smaller in size. It isn't rational, only fanaticism.
Even if the tiger is the most powerful extant big cat, a fight between a lion and a tiger isn't a one-sided fight. Sometimes the tiger wins, sometimes lion. You just need to read some accounts by  tamers who mixed them. Reply
