How do tigers care for their cubs?

Best Answers

When the cubs are born, the female is alone; the father usually has nothing to do with the birth or rearing of his cubs. The cubs are born with their eyes closed and are, therefore, blind. They are totally dependent on their mother for their every need. Their eyes will open within between six and 12 days from birth. read more

Cubs become independent around 18 months of age, but do not fully separate from their moth until they are about 2 years old. The mortality rate of tiger cubs is fairly high in the wild, with about half not surviving more than two years. The main reasons for this, beyond humans and other tigers are normally starvation, freezing and accidents. read more
