The Brotherhood

[Pckts]

I'm not sure how long B1, B2 and B3 stayed together for but here is B3 Psuedo mating B2 to establish dominance while both where still sharing a territory and meals. Both look to be large and close to maturity

I know that T72 still shares a territory with his father, T42 or T24 (I forget which one) and I also remember the doc with machli where her 2 large sub adult cubs left together after she nursed them one last time to keep the new male from killing them.

There is also another report of the two sub adults brothers fighting one male and one of the brothers was killed.

One of the guesses as to how konda died was in a fight with the two Link 7 brothers but that is not confirmed as there are differring opinions on which tiger is actually responsible for the death of Konda.

So while tiger brothers don't form coalitions like lions they do sometimes stay together for long periods of times and even fight together against a common enemy. Even the tigers that just killed the Elephant and other reports of tiger families hunting together. So its rare but not unheard of. Reply
