Asiatic Lion Reintroduction Project

[Jimmy]

Hmmmmm @Rishi there seems to be some areas for dispersal for both these cats then, but buffer zones are tricky- they are mostly used only as part of the main territory, i know lions in Gir are a differnent story but where poachers are rife, buffers are best used as a fleeting temporary shelters. So all in all there should be atleast around a hundred lions to make it a feasible translocation but as much as i like it -the two biggest cats living in the same territory, it will test both cats being so equal in terms of power and at the apex of the food chain. And like @Pckts said i also think basically these two cats require two different habitat types with some negligible overlaps, the question is would that area be enough to contain breading population of both cats in the long run?
..i hv no idea iam in the wait and see mode right now. Reply
