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.

I think what you guys are hypothesizing is that both cats would of avoided each other when they originally shared the same territory in India, or I guess the question is did they avoid each other. I happen to think that is probably true to some extent, the lions occupying the open areas, the tigers the thicker denser jungles. But with the behavior of lions evident in various documentaries, it is doubtful encounters between the two cats would not have been doubtless. I know you guys were saying J.F. Brandt didn't recall seeing any traces of conflict at the time, but I know Ive seen some actual accounts that speak otherwise. A more detailed search would have to be conducted to verify this.
