Mainly by human persecution. In India, there is some evidence that the tiger, a species that arrived in the Indian subcontinent later than lions, may have been the containing factor. Tigers are somewhat larger than lions on average, and intolerant of rivals in their territories. Usually, lions inhabit more open country than tigers, and are easier to kill because of this. British officers used to kill them by the hundreds during the 19th century, and it appears the tigers kept the lions contained from spreading into densely forested areas. But, again, it was the indescriminate killing by humans that led to the lion's decline. Today, there are around 350 Asiatic lions in the Gir Forest of India, the last of their kind in the world.
