   You are right that lions live in Africa and tigers live in Asia, but the only place they can both be found in is in India.
   Pigeons and sparrows are both from the class Aves, which consists of birds. They aren’t of the same species either, as sparrows are from the family Passeridae, while pigeons are from Columbidae.
   One example is humans and baboons. In Kenya, some baboons reportedly attacked some girls for some water, since water is so scarce.
   Baboons can be found in Ethiopia, Yemen and Saudi Arabia, along with others countries such as Kenya. Humans can also be found worldwide, which includes Ethiopia, Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
   Cuckoos will lay eggs in the nest of other birds and will abandon the eggs. When the egg hatches, the fledgling will take the adult birds as the parents. Since the egg of the cuckoo will hatch earlier then the other eggs, and will grow very fast. The chick encourages the host to keep pace with its high growth rate with its rapid begging call.
   Since the cuckoo grows as such a fast pace, it will need more food than the others, so it will compete for food , while the other chicks starve.
   The common cuckoo is found in Asia and Europe ( During summer) and in Africa ( During winter)
   It normally lays eggs in the nests of birds , particularly of Dunnocks, Meadow Pipits, and Eurasian Reed Warblers.
   The Eurasian Reed Warbler can also be found in Europe, Asia and in sub-Saharan Africa.

   Snowy Plovers share wintering habitats with other small shorebirds, the Piping Plover and Wilson’s Plover. There are strong interspecific aggressions due to scarce food. When rare low tides expose seldom seem food in abundance they will crowd much closer, tolerating other species being near unlike other times.
   Interspecific competition promotes specialization to avoid competition between those species most alike.
   Wilson’s Plover has some resource partitioning from the Piping Plover as they specialize in larger prey and stay behind the dune line. It is the Piping and Snowy Plovers that dispute more directly for food.http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:9sr…http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/IWSGB/n062/…
   Competition comes from fellow members of the same species or from very similar species in the same genus that need almost the same resources as one’s fellow species members. All other living organisms are just part of the environment; they may provide food or shelter or simply be a distant part of the ecology’s organic cycle.
   Sympatric species have overlapping regions between their geographic ranges. They share habitat. Sympatric species normally show overlap of food niches so will show a ratio in sizes of ~1:3. These species avoid the most direct conflict as their population’s average phenotypes adapt to a particular microhabitat niche that differs from the microhabitat of the competitive species. http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/ev…
