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.

Spotted Hyena here is Lion i.e.., Social and dominating (most of the time)
Leopard referred as Tiger i.e.., lone and dominating only in some cases like in one on one.
Just an example.
Not even close at being similar..
Hyenas aren’t behaving in the same way cats are, they aren’t usually aggressive except when fighting for food, they might snach a smaller carnivore or cubs from the larger ones. Exceptions will occur when a injuried lion or leopard is targeted, but the hyenas will kill to eat. So if hyenas doesn’t see an oppertunity for food or gets provoked in other ways they will rarely attack the other predators. Also leopards can easially avoid hyenas by climbing trees. Hyenas do not hate leopards and without food to fight for, they can be seen walking side by side without aggression. Leopards will also hide cubs in trees and buches where they would be hard to reach for a leopard, same goes for Hyena pups which will be hidden in dens protected heavily by the clan.
Lions and tigers on the other hand are both big and heavy neither are great climbers. They are similar buildt, only difference is that lions are social, and the tigers are bigger. They would hate one another intesely and at every oppertunity try to kill eachother. And they would have a difficulty shareing the same reserve. Tigeresses and cubs especially would be an easy target for a coalition of male lions. Lionesses will likely do better in groups.
