Abstract
We assessed the roles of space use and habitat selection in fostering coexistence of large felids using sympatric radio-collared tigers Panthera tigris and leopards P. pardus. We found that intraspecific spatial overlap was 2 to 17 times lower than interspecific overlap and variation in habitat preference was greater between individuals than between species. These results imply that in certain contexts tigers and leopard coexist despite interspecific similarities in space use and habitat selection.
