Tiger Directory

[GuateGojira]

In fact, tigers have a very complex social behavior. In Nepal and Russia, tigresses share parts of they territory to her daughters and in some special times, they even share kills with them, they grandsons and even the father of all. These are the sources of the groups of 7 to 12 tigers in old literature, they are ALL related in those groups, Valmik Thapar prove it, and Kailash Shankala is completely wrong! (those who remember that old case, will know why I am saying this now).

Now, about male behavior, the few data that we have showed that male tigers send off they sons at some age, which is the case of Nepal, but it seems that Ranthambore tigers have a strong parental behavior, showing that they males are excellent fathers, even better than some male lions!

It is like Valmik Thapar said, we don't know much about tigers, we only have small glimpses of they lives. The evidence of mothers sharing parts of they territory with they adult female cubs is quantitative and is already a scientific fact, but the evidence about the fathers is still qualitative and needs to be studied deeper as we only have a few glimpses and there is a lot of inference still on this.

If someone thinks that we already know what is a tiger, it is completely wrong. [img]images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
