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.

would be an absolute one of the best reserve in terms of tourism potential, but i see one prime concern and that is the area of this reserve which i feel would be small for both cats to thrive together in the long run. Another is the terrain. i dnt know how diverse is the Kuno's terrain but there should be ample forest and grassland patches preferably hilly terrain for seclusion, privacy etc. such that what will be a prime area for one species of cat would be a fringe area for the other, minimizing prolonged contact and stress between the two cats. Not that fight won't happen but that will be less devastating and more like a skirmish where a looser still can run away, rest and hunt in another area an sustain itself. The last one i feel will be the same prey species that will be targeted by both these cats and lack of any wild bovines-a really large prey choice that would have been perfect here, this will result in direct competition and a severe conflict. But the main hurdle i see is the small area of the reserve itself.
