Ligers and Overlapping Territories of Lions and Tigers
Usually taking on the simplistic scenario the territories of lions and tigers are not overlapped. Most of the lions in the world are in Africa. Africa has the largest population of the lions. Similarly, most of the biggest population of the tigers resides in Asia and in the far east region of Russia. There is hardly a chance that these two cats mate in the wild and produce their off-springs as ligers.
However, India is a place, where we have Tigers as well as Asiatic lions as well. Now Asiatic lions are basically solitary hunters as well. Unlike the African lions, they do not live with prides having their offspring, females and males all intact. But there is a place in India named as Gir. This is a place, where the tigers’ and lions’ territories are specifically overlapped. Therefore, in finding the wild ligers, the best chance can be to find them in India. But there is no evidence of ligers there and no liger has been found yet being filmed wild. However, people do have stories that ligers use to roam in these areas, hundreds of years ago. But there has been no real evidence of it (Mott, 2005).
Even some believe that such a place is not an ideal place for the tigers to live because it is too dry. On the other hand, tigers love to live in the dense forest which really allows them to have a best camouflage, thereby, assisting their hunting instincts. But it can be too early to comment over it and a lot of research is required to be conducted over it (Mott, 2005).
The area of Gir forest is about 3000 square miles. This is a huge area. The area is not plain but rather it also comprises of hills as well. The area is a habitat to different kinds of species includes leopards, deer, blue bulls, and other antelopes. Therefore, the area looks like a real heaven for the carnivores (Mitra, 2005). But area does have dry lands as well (Hoiberg & Ramchandani, 2000).
However, Gir forest is not offering much for the wild Asiatic lions for their survival. The Indian authorities are deliberately shifting some lions to another forest, where lions will certainly meet tigers. This can put both the species in a very violence zone, as tiger having a weight advantage of 50 Kg might kill the lions. But so far, they are very optimistic to save the Asiatic lion to the tiger territory, as that was big, and offered a lot of space for the lions to live as compared to Gir forest (BBC Documentary “Last Lions of India”, 2005).
• In order to determine, any possibility of the ligers’ existence of hundreds of years ago, there is a need of exploration of the forensic evidence from the area. Just like the way one has determined the remains of sabor tooth tigers and even dinosaurs, in that area forensic evidence can prove whether ligers have existed there or not. • Studying the territories of tigers and
lions in that Gir area can also indicate the possibilities of lions
and tigers’ confrontation and possibility of the relations
as well. Therefore, all it will take will be to study thoroughly
that area. Another problem is that, the thick jungle may be a big
hurdle to have a keen observation.
