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.

Its even pointless to discuss at this point since the Gir refuses to give up any individuals to relocate.
But my feeling about coexistence is this
-Tigers have spent milions of years evolving to a certain type of habitat and lions to a different type. Asiatic lions have already been forced to evolve towards a small pride and lone male or very small # coalition because of the way the Gir's terain is. If they moved on to a more tiger friendly place they are going to have to seperate into even smaller #'s.
A tiger or lion claims territory, these lions in tiger territories are going to be looked at as intruders. Fights will occur just like they do now with the same species. There is not enough space for the tigers in the reserves now, so unless they want to protect all of india and create large enough space for both incase one needs to escape and find new territory, this is a pipe dream I think.
