First of all, there are more Bengal tigers than Asiatic lions, because the local people used to hunt Asiatic lions, which has resulted in a small number of them. The second is that Asiatic lions have a high demand for water and can only survive in places where there is a lot of water.

As an exploratory and mobile feline, the tiger continues to spread along rivers and forest systems, eventually reaching most of Asia. Lions are the only animals in the cat family that live in groups, they eat a huge amount of food, and they have high requirements for the abundance and size of their prey, and lions generally survive in open areas.
