So clam down, and with limited space they would be a problem for each other. 
And where did I say anything that could be about captive fights? 
I asked if the lions would be introduced, and stated my fear and concern, but I would also be happy to see them getting a new home. 


So I suggest, next time reply if you have an answer to the question in mind, or at least make sure you have read and understood what you are replying too....

To address your issue, i definitely agree that attrition will be the deciding factor in the long run.

Although i have serious doubts that tigress with cubs will go into any kind of interaction with a whole pride (of 4-5 lionesses, otherwise the age of her cubs would come into play).
If the dominant male tiger can pose enough threat for the pride-females to not feel safe raising cubs in a place, is the only scenario that come to my mind where the lions will keep away.

If experienced coalition males choose to expand their borders i doubt a male tiger can confront them alone.
But from what we see it's pretty hard to oust a tiger from a large territory. Reply
