All areas have individuals, some are passive, some are aggressive, some are shy, sneaky, etc.

T24 Chasing the jeeps, Charger "charging" everything, Shivaji constantly displaying his contempt, etc.
Tigers are like us, every one is different.

Except for Sumatra, they have been forced to be "mean" towards people. They have no space and food is running out.


 

Less contact with people is a very big factor. Even tho tigers have different personality's a tiger with little experience will be more defensive when is faced against humans. And tigers does not like many other animals, run away when things are coming and therfore charges will happen, some are shy some are not. But some tigers else where can ofc behave just as aggressive, but then it's a personality thing. 

like a male lion from a dessert ran 100 meters to attack a safari jeep, that's not because he's extreamly aggressive, he's just not used to car's like other Lions. 
Also aggression towards human's does not nessecaeraly mean's they would be The most aggressive against their own spicies. 

 

 

still has nothing to do wtih if they are comfortable with people or not.
Some tigers have never been photographed to this day. Caught in camera traps only, others get photographed all the time. Some become man eaters and are unknown to people and others are maneaters and are known to people. Some cats are photographed for the first time and never again. Shivaji was photo'ed a ton, then all of a sudden he vanished to the bufferzone is hasn't been seen since. Cats just react differently to new situations or old ones. 

Some are comfortable with people and can be fine and then attack out of knowhere others are notorious for it.
Like T24 chasing the jeep for what seems like a half mile just like the Lion you mentioned. But T24 is well known and photographed a lot. 

I sort of agree with the last statement, although, a tiger or lion aggressive towards people will probably be aggressive anyway since its a obvious personality trait. Agression is agression, just like shy cats are probably shy in the wild setting.

Usually the most aggressive big cat is the most successful with getting milk from mom, food from kills and becoming the strongest cat usually equals the most successful in life. 

I guess all I'm saying is, there is no "typical cat behaviour" Reply
