How do lions and tigers coexist in India?
I have read a lot of nonsense answers on this question. Lions and tigers are found in India, but they do not co-exist. There are approx 400+ Asiatic Lions to be found only in the Western stats of Gujarat in a particular national park called Gir. There are no tigers in this national park. The Bengal Tiger now numbers approx. 3000 in the 2018 census in over 50 natioanl parks across India, but no where do the two species co-exist. A fully grown male tiger can weigh up to a third more in weight than the equivalent lion.

Is a lion stronger than a jaguar?
A lot of people will say lion , however they are wrong because they are just stupid lion fans that know nothing about a tiger's advantages. The tiger will win because it is stronger! heavier, more agile, bigger, has longer canines, is a better fighter, is smarter, and is not lazy and waits for females to hunt.

Tigers rule and lions are no sicken beans ONE THING I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT EVERYONE SAY LIONS ARE TOUGHER FIGHTERS ANS HAVE MORE FIGHTING EXPERIENCE, BUT AS AN INDIAN I KNOW THE TIGER'S FIGHTING EXPERIENCE, WE HAVE TO READ THE TIGER'S BEHAVIOR. TIGERS FIGHT FOR THEIR LIFE. THEY ARE SOLITARY, LIKE LIONS THEY WILL NOT LIVE IN A GROUP. THEY HAVE TO FACE EVERY DANGER ALONE. YOU SAY Africa HAVE MORE DANGERS YES I AGREE. BUT WHY DID THE LIONS BECAME SOCIAL, BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TO SURVIVE ALL DISASTERS AND ENEMIES. IF LIONS WERE SOLITARY THEY WILL NOT SURVIVE IN AFRICA. THE TIGERS HAVE TO FIGHT OTHER MORE EXPERIENCED TIGERS ALONE, THEY HAVE NO SUPPORT TO PROTECT THEIR YOUNG. THEY LEARNED TO SURVIVE HOW TO LIVE ALONE AND FACE DANGERS. IN A TIGER VS TIGER FIGHT THERE ARE BRUTAL CONSEQUENCES. THE TIGERS WILL GET INJURED IN A UNFORGIVABLE AND SOMETIMES LEAD TO DEATH AND SERIOUS INJURIES, SOME TIGERS EVEN LOOSE THEIR NAILS, TEETH AND MANY MORE. THIS SHOW HOW POWERFUL IS TIGER FIGHT, THEY WILL FIGHT UP DEATH. MANY TIGERS ARE KILLED BY ANOTHER TIGERS LIKE THE LIONS, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TIGER FIGHT OR LION FIGHT. THE LIONS HAVE MORE CHANCES TO SURVIVE ONLY BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN GROUPS

What do lions and cheetahs eat?
Cheetahs prefer impala and gazelles, because they are small enough to catch. They eat about 6 lbs of meat per day. Other items on their menu are gnu (bird), warthog, or even an occasional wildebeest calf. They also like antelope, elephant, and zebra.
As no-one preys on this animal, then it comes top of the food chain, although that depends on what eats what.
Antilope, hares, zebras,
The cheetah is a carnivore, eating mostly mammals under 40 kg (88 lb), including the Thomson's gazelle, the Grant's gazelle, the springbok and the impala. The young of larger mammals such as wildebeests and zebras are taken at times, and adults too, when the cats hunt in groups. Guineafowl and hares are also prey.
The cheetahs' prey are impalas, Thompsons' gazelle, African antelpoes,
and last but not least, jackels.
They often eat gazelles, but will also eat small mammals (such as hares) or birds
Cheetahs eat mainly gazelle, antelope, game birds, and hares. A cheetah will NEVER eat what it doesn't kill.
Well since they are carnivores, (meat eaters) they eat pretty much all types of animals that are in their natural habitats.

How do lions find their way home?
Lions hunt in packs and they are ambush hunters. They spread out in the grasslands merging with the canopy away from the sights of their prey. When they are close enough usually 100 yards or so, they jump and chase down their prey. If the prey starts running, usually they would have backup in the other directions so that the other lions can tackle the prey and bring it down.
it doesn't matter about how tall they are. they can be tall/short as they all come in different height's.

Is a black panther is real species?
No, there are melanistic (black) forms of the leopard, jaguar, or cougar which people may consider to be a black panther but the fact is that the leopard/jaguar was born with melanistic (black) chromosomes instead of normal pigmentation chromosomes.
The term "black panther" is the over-all term for melanistic (black) leopards, jaguars, or cougars.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blacks panthers ARE real, they're just melanistic forms of the leopard, jaguar, and cougar. It's like saying the wolf isn't real, it just has many types.
The bearcat, also known as the binturong, is a viverrine mammal from Southeast Asia.
