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.

pckts.

kesri singh give an account of Bengal tigers defeating Asiatic lions 3 times, but in  conjunction with kesri's account another guy In India boldchamp mentions Asiatic lions beating Bengal tigers 4 straight. I guess it's safe to say in 7 fights IN THE WILD, the Asiatic lion wins 4 and the Bengal tiger wins 3, pretty much even with a SLIGHT edge going to the lion.

All others that CLAIM Bengal tigers drove Asiatic lions out of Kuno only give THEIR opinion with no EYEWITNESS accounts. The Asiatic lion is no longer in Kuno is because the lions where hunted to extinction in Kuno.

When asked who would win Amur tiger vs. African lion,  lion expert Craig Packer says a Amur tiger would PROBABLY be too much for a African lion, again  a mere OPINION, not an EYEWITNESS account.

But here's an eyewitness account from a tiger EXPERT Dr. Kallash Sankhala, NOT an opinion.


"Story Of The Indian Tiger" 1977 By Kalash Sankhala.
Pages 119-120, why the  lion left game rich areas of India for the Gir forest, I do not know, all I can say is the tiger IS NOT responsible. In my opinion a tiger is no match even for a single lion of equal strength. Sankhala bases his opinion on seeing a film of a male lion vs. male tiger fight, the lion killed the tiger. ( This fight IS NOT the Gir lion tiger fight, but ANOTHER fight ) An eyewitness account,  NOT an opinion.
