两 只 老虎 相容 只有 一 种 可能, 一 公 一 母!
The only way possible for two tigers to be tolerant with each other is when one is a male and the other a female.

This quote is related to the phrase “一山不容二虎(yì shān bù róng èr hǔ) one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers,” which suggests that one place can’t accommodate two strong opponents.
