There are many types of domination, both cats wanted food and just like a male lion with lionesses the jaguar kept the tiger at bay and chased it away. That's dominant in my book!

Well, whatever. It's your word.

But "domination", in my sense, usually involves a prolonged physical/hierarchal exchange or intimidation (speaking wild animals here, of course) in which one of the participants has a clear advantage over the other. In this case, the tiger was larger and wasn't willing to participate in the jaguar's games, thus no definition of who is dominant can be applied. Hierarchy doesn't apply since they are also two different species. Reply
