And while Asia may have this wide array of species, they are spread much further. Their territories overlap but the odds of them competing against one another aren't as high as Africa where the terrain is much easier to trek and thus all animals encounter one another throughout all of africa.

Every where that has lions will also have hyena and leopard, wild dog and cheetah would also be there if their numbers haven't been so drastically decimated by man.The same cannot be said for Asia, Some places may have tigers and bears, other will have neither and again others will have different sub species and so on... 

Every where that has tigers will also have hyenas, leopards, dholes,wolves and bears ... Again Asia beats Africa 

Africa has 2 Panthera Big Cats
Asia    has 4 Panthera Big Cats.Tiger,Leopard,Snow leopard and Asiatic lion.

btw Tiger is miles ahead of Lions. 

--------------------------
Africa has 2+ Crocodile sub-species!!

Asia has 3+ - Salt,Mugger and Gharial!

Again, Salty is miles ahead of any Crocodile on earth. 

------------

The only difference is Asia is highly fertile land and so it supports huge population unlike grass lands and rain forests in Africa.

Do you really want to compare the quantity of Hyena with Tigers to Lions and Hyena?
There is only one species of hyena that shares territory with Tigers and its a very modest version of the Spotted hyena, it lives in much smaller groups, usually only a couple of individuals and its seen only on very rare occasions.


Dholes are still completely outnumbered compared to AWD and they do not pose any threat to tigers, same as AWD to lions, thus they do not compete.

Bears and Wolves do share land with tigers, but very little of it now and they certainly do not have as many encounters with one another compared to Lions with Hyena.

Your Tiger statement and "asia beats africa" aren't even worth discussing.

Now on to Crocs
Salties and Nile crocs are more or less the same size yet the waters of africa force the wildlife to be in contact with Nile Crocs far more often. Nile crocs also contribute far more deaths to lions than muggers or salties do to tigers.
And if you think that a nile wouldn't attack a tiger as quickly as it would a lion, you're really reaching.
A mugger and Gharial contribute 0 to death of big cats I have seen, at least adult ones.

You don't mention hippos either, yet they could be the most dangerous inhabitant of fresh water in Africa and if including salt water, the GWS certainly has his place.

In regards to land fertility, that is baseless.
Africa supports the greatest diversity of large land mammals on earth, it sustains far more large mammals than any other place, it's not even comparable.


So once again, this topic is completely Subjective. Reply
