Lions and tigers do not naturally live in the same habitat. Lions are primarily found in the savannas and grasslands of Africa, while tigers are native to the forests and jungles of Asia. These distinct habitats are a result of their evolutionary adaptations and the different environmental conditions they require to thrive.
Lions prefer open areas where they can hunt in groups, known as prides, and rely on teamwork to take down large prey. Tigers, on the other hand, are solitary hunters that thrive in dense forests where they can stalk their prey silently and rely on stealth and strength.
While both are apex predators, their habitats are geographically separated, making it unlikely for them to encounter each other in the wild. However, in captivity, such as in zoos or wildlife sanctuaries, lions and tigers may share the same space, but this is not their natural behavior.
