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.

Both of them will kill a leopard any chance they get. Imagine what there response would be to another cat that would obviously be a threat to territory or their young.

 

Yes, tiger would attack and kill leopard anytime, but Spaleas point is that leopards can still coexist with tigers in the same area quite well because they hunt rather different prey, smaller animals...and they can escape to trees. This is ofc not the case of tigers and lions - same prey and unability to escape to trees.

I think quite interesting question is this: tigers are territorial and they respect territories of other tigers. Imagine that a tiger (lord of a territory) is killed by lion - immigrant. Would the lion respect the borders with his tiger neighbors? And would the lion be respected by tigers as a lord of a territory?

Yes, there are territorial fight among tigers, but usual result of this fight is draw (and respect of each other) or submission of one of the tigers. Yes, sometimes the fight ends with death of one of the combatants. But what would be the result of such a territorial fight between combatants of different species? Would they be able to accept draw as a result and respect the boundaries?
