That makes sense. Tigers are just big cats - they're all kinda jerks to each other (let alone other animals), but I suppose that comes with being an apex predator.

Tigers are territorial and solitary but quite social, they don't usually get into fights when they meet, that only happens when they have an actual territorial conflict because there's too many tigers on too little land. They're perfectly fine with others visiting their prowling grounds, they might even hunt together, just don't overstay your welcome. Actually not that terribly different from how humans treat their houses.
