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.

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.
Definitely, the competition b/w predators or conflicts like predating on cubs/sick ones on either side to check each other numbers in a given area is universal, natural,normal and should occur b/w all predators around the world to coexist without competitive exclusion. nothing special in case of tiger-lion.

If experienced coalition males choose to expand their borders i doubt a male tiger can confront them alone
are you saying there are territories b/w lions and tigers or tiger-leopard or what ever and they invade each other?
