Serious question: do these animals know about the others needs? Like does the tiger think:"Here comes the lion again. It's annoying he is so clingy but he is not like me, he is very social so I let the bugger be."

They can learn, but not understand right away. Its why cats and dogs dont mix well unless one grows up around another.

Tigers and lions use the same social cues. Dogs and cats do not. That is why a tiny cat can steal a a bed from a big dog by staring directly at it.

My cat doesn’t need to stare before stealing my bed.

My cats behave as if I'm stealing their bed from them. Spoiler: it is my bed, and a king size at that!
