Understood. Pleistocene North America proves to us that multiple big cats are capable of living within the same environment. However, as you have mentioned, the lion is fully capable of adapting to a sub-arctic environment if there is a niche open to him. But, I do not believe that lions could successfully invade a location already occupied and dominated by tigers. Likewise, I doubt that tigers could successfully move into a location already occupied by lions. To adapt to a new environment which is totally different from that which a species has dwelled for perhaps a million years takes time; lots of time. I believe that lions will remain creatures of the open savanna and tigers will remain forest creatures. There are no lions living in the Congo. Reply
