The male tiger took the responsibility and began to look after his cubs after the death of the female tiger
A tiger that had three cubs died. Scientists set up a camera in the forest to find out how the cubs live without their mother.
In general, female tigers take care of their cubs alone. They feed them, teach them to find food and protect themselves in the wild. In contrast, male tigers play no role in the upbringing of their cubs and they don’t assist the female in this difficult mission.
However, what the camera recorded was amazing. Scientists saw that the male tiger didn’t let the cubs alone. He left the territory just to find food for his cub. Then he returned bringing prey to feed the cubs.
The experts had never noticed such behavior in tigers. This incident aroused their curiosity. So, they decided to continue their survey.
According to the scientists, the coming months are very important for the growth of the small tigers. Now weight about 55 kilograms. They have to eat properly in order to weight at least 85 kilograms, so that they will be able to live independent.
Their weight plays an important role in their survival in the wild.
The heavier they are, the bigger animals they will hunt, and the more energetic they will be.
