Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos

[Matias]

Excellent @Rishi initiative and a great @Wolverine book.

If we think about the temporal question, the book presents a considerable geographical expansion. If we had sources bibliographies and texts on the area of occurrence of lions during the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries, greater surprises if would present. I do not want to bring this issue to the surface again as it has been widely discussed in this topic, but there is the still more positive impression that habitat is the limiting factor for the occurrence of lions, not tigers. In the past the overlap of the two species was common in much of India. As much as we try to foster insights into how both species self-regulate, it is impossible to present concrete behavioral factors to respond to how they equilibrated in the same ecosystemic range. Nature can regulate primary competitors in a way that is far from the usual pathways that academic and other stakeholders tend to follow.
