I decided to put here one part from that same article, where Alexander Batalov is interviewed. This is google translation. Anyway a glimpse how Batalov describes social behavior of tigers.


"- How many tigers have their nicknames?


- Now it's eight. They are constantly in my field of vision, and some I have known for about five years. Most tigers live socially, can not live without communication. Release such a beast in an unfamiliar place, and he will go until he meets the trail of his brother.However, family groups are born of sympathy. On the territory of "Durmin" come individuals from three family groups, that is, three males, and females around them. Ochkarik, for example, has two or three permanent females. But if he meets another female, draws attention to him, and likes him, he will easily go to meet her.

This year the density of tigers has increased. On the Khor model site, 15 individuals were counted, six of them were cubs.
At the age of one and a half to two years, the cubs become independent and are looking for suitable places for later life. As a rule, they leave their house and go beyond the territory of the model site. Nearby, small females can remain for a while, and non-evil males who can be content with small ones, can make a compromise."

Btw, Ochkarik is that tiger, whic is mentioned in thread big cat vocalization. He came to meet tigress Rachelle (which was followed and robbed by that huge brown bear) after she made that odd scream or something like that. Peter wrote name of Rachelle in different way, but these translations give what they give and I don´t actually know what is right way :)
