It seems that tigers and lions managed to live without conflicts and had a perfectly well separated habitat. It was the humans and they lust for fights, that had put them in conflict, and only in human-made areas. Nature is not as sick as the human mind.

Greetings to all, I was reading this thread, and noticed the quoted claim, which is not true. Take a look at this section of Ramayana:

"Let not Rama in his rancour shed a younger brother's blood,

As the lion slays the tiger in the deep and echoing wood!" Reply
