The only place it might happen would be India's Gir Forest, but tigers aren't known to live there. They don’t.

Lions live in Africa, Tigers in India and the Far East, and few other places. I don’t think the two species inhabit the same areas.

But, if they somehow did or were forced to be introduced by a human, they would probably see a threat to themselves, their territory, or their kin and attack.

Therefore they would not run across one another in the wild. In the past there was a species of Lion, very similar to the African one, living in India where there is a Tiger population. No one could say what exactly would happen if the two species met in the past. It would not very likely happen under normal circumstances because predators of this size have a large range and don't usually come across others.

A few lions still exist in India. So they could possibly have met, but only in the past. Lions tend to prefer more open country, while tigers like wooded areas, so they would rarely have met, even in India. Big cats tend to avoid each other anyhow ie leopards stay well away from lions in Africa. In captivity, lions will actually mate with tigers, producing offspring called 'ligers'. These hybrids can be huge ! Almost twice the size of a tiger ie 1000 lbs in weight. Look up liger on the web. Yes, there are tigons too, but <a href="http://www.liger.org">ligers</a> seem to get all the publicity because they can be so huge !
