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.

Tiger-Lion Conflict Looms Large in Kuno-Ranthambore 
I believe that they will seldom have any trouble if they have enough territory to roam. Both cats require lots of acreage for hunting. Is there enough land free of human habitat for both lions and tigers? 

Well, actually you should check-out #247 & #251 for details.

Kuno & Palpur are two seperate sanctuaries.
Intially the size was 350sq.kms. Then the state of Gujrat, in its desperate attampt for resistance, pointed out that it was too small.. it's a tiger corridor..local people had anti-social tendencies..some locals had guns..etc etc.

So, the sanctuary size was doubled (It's a part of a 5000sq.kms+ forest complex) by adding a buffer zone.
ALL local tribals (mostly Maldharis, like Gir) were relocated & Kuno has been lying around for years & has some of the highest preybase now...

Ranthambore transients sometimes passed through, but didn't settle in absence of females...
