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.
@packts every single patch of open land which was not much in india was converted to farms very early in india history to feed vast population .in those times also india had higest density of population in the world. there was space left only for tigers and leopards which were hiding.
tiger tends to show size differences because they live in snow, in forests of india, on small islands like sumatra. but in case of lions there is no such major variations in habitates in africa but in india prey size is realy small and habitat is little dence so by time they have evolved and become best suited for their prey and habitat. they are of almost same size as lions of central africa.
almost all animal evolve and have size variations within mainland populations
lion is not an exception after all lions and tigers are identical biologicaly. only difference is in social behaviour.
