Tiger-Lion Coexistence in Eurasia between Middle Pleistocene and Holocene Epochs

[Spalea]

@Sanju :

About #43: thank a lot for your detailed reply ! I'm convinced too that tigers and lions coexisted before in such places like Gir forest. And also in other countries like Iran. We have just to take a look on their respective range/habitats during the pleistocene and holocene periods to be sure of that.

Even if tigers and lions don't prefer exactly the same biotops, they were able to intersect, to cross each other at the boundaries of these prefered biotops. A sort of mutual reconnaissance could have prevailed... I think it was unavoidable from time to time.

The problem, IMO, is different. Imagine a wild place where lions and tigers really coexist, in everybody's eyes, and the supplement of touristic attraction that would involve... And that in a park that would quickly risk to become a too restricted place for these two apex predators... This park should be restructured, I think. Reply
