There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The surprise Gaute was that two adult females shared a killed together with the common male. Which even if they are sisters or not, (we don't know for sure) they don't generally tolerate each other
I.E. Machlis daughters.
Edit: I probably agree that Male tigers will let a female with HIS cubs feed first, its only natural but a male tiger is far less likely to let a female keep her kill when there are no cubs present, even if they are mates. In most cases, that is.
Like the Male, Nick, who attacked machli, oddly enough, nick actually met machli while she still had cubs fathered from the first disappeared male and he did not attack them, maybe he didn't know where they were, but not sure, this male below steals a kill from a mate or possible mate
Like Bamera who is said to steal kills from his mates, not sure if he stole kills from his mates when they had cubs but I thought that he may have, and his son is becoming quite proficient at it now as well. But push comes to shove, I think a Tiger father is just as caring towards his cubs as Lions are, but same with lions, he will put up with them till a certain point, than its time for them to get out or take the territory for themselves.
Like Yedda Anna did with his son Ookhan I believe or Bam with his dad, Raja with his father, etc.
