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.

Possible?
No body can answer this question since it's never been documented in the wild.
My personal opinion....
"Same area" meaning the same territory?
No, its the same as any other big cat, they need set territories, you may see overlaps of territory and I see know reason why they couldn't share overlapping territories. But obviously if they run across each other, a fight will ensue. But if one is able to get the upper hand and the other learns to give way to the dominate cat "this can go either way" ( depends on personalities, size of coalitions, specific cats etc.) Then maybe they could find a balance.
I don't know enough about the Gir Terrain compared to the rest of India but maybe somebody here could explain the differences, if any?
If there are no real differences in terrain then I think hypothetically, they could coexist.
