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.

Nobody wants to be blamed and nobody knows precisely what to expect, like- Is Kuno a tiger's-first choice habitat or a lion's-first choice habitat and will it allow for a big pride to form for defence etc etc. During the starting phase it will likely go smoothly with plenty of space and prey but it will get intense as their numbers rise and during the dispersal process of young individuals when they will encounter another apex species and vice versa.

That statement might not be very true...Also the Indian records of natural history, suggest the dominance of lions was restricted from the Northwestern open river valleys to the western desert & adjoining arid lands...Mostly Punjab & Western UP. It never reached (or, as per another school of thought, were pushed back from) further south towards Vindhyas.


The kingdom of Kota, today's North western forest complex, was the only place where they coexisted..looks pretty successfully.
WESTERN Indian colloqial languages can't even differentiate well between the two...Both are called "Sher" & the Goddess can be depicted on either.

IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, A LOT OF THE TIGERS WERE IN PAIRS, ALMOST IN ALL POTRAYALS.
I think it could have been a behavioral adaptation...
