Ok I can go with the tiger hunt, but where did the lion in the bottom left and the leopard in the bottom right of the picture come from? Lions and leopard come from a totally different continent than the tiger. Leopards and lions are from Africa, tigers are from Asia.

Leopards and lion's historical range did venture into Asia, even Europe for lions. There's a tiny pocket of lions in India.

I'm thinking this is supposed to be India, with the brown colored guy in the left. Though I'm also thinking Rubens' imagined this scene, rather than witnessed it. Probably had access to stuffed animals, they do look realistic.
