ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

[Pckts]

While I do believe Tigers show a bit more of quantifiable evidence of higher intelligence, I don't think that revenge or extermination of a competitor is one.
Tigers are known to kill off wolves, Lions are equally shown to kill off AWD's.
Neither species does well when a Lion or Tiger is present.

With regards to Hyena, a few things may play a role in that, Hyena tend to be less of a pack animal than the two Canid mentioned, while they can absolutely assemble into large groups and run off most carnivores outside of a Prime Male Lion, they also tend to be travelling in small groups or single individuals, they also present a far more dangerous foe than a AWD, Wolves are more comparable to Hyena than AWD but still only the largest sub species are with of comparable size to the Spotted Hyena. We'd also need to know pack size in the areas where Tigers cohabitate, I'd assume a large enough pack could surely cause strain for a Tigress and Cubs but like Hyena with Male Lions, they'd surely not want to mess with a Prime Male Tiger.
