Just for reference (although you're mostly correct IMO), there is an Asian subspecies of lion (Panthera leo persica) whose range and habitats formerly overlapped that of the tiger. About the only place they're still found in the same locale as tigers is a refuge in India (the Gir Forest Reserve near Gudjarat). Asian lions prefer dry forest habitat, and so could easily have shared ranges with some tiger populations (both forest dwellers). There are only about 300 P. l. persica left in the wild, and they are CITES Appendix I species. In the 1950's there were only three, so their rebound is pretty amazing.

Yes, but in this context, wouldn't it have to be Catzilla?
