Experience I'm currently studing animal biology. I've been researching 'Interspecies conflict' from a long time. I've read alot of books on wildlife,also I've been visiting a native zoological park from quite a few years to study the behaviour of animals there.

Question If the Asiatic lions have any chance of being reintroduced into Kunopalpur will they face any problem of interspecies conflict with tiger? do you think the place will be ideal and the project successful?
Answer Hello Moya,
Well, there would be chances of interspecies conflict between these two cat, and ofcourse the tiger would win. 50 kilograms on average is a big advantage. Do you expect a 130kg tiger to defeat a african lion [181kg] ?
There are some political views related to the projected, I would'nt like to comment on them. The project can be successfull, but there is livestock problem. You can read about the project here,
