I look that age 2 years 9 months so, that it is just 3 months from normal range which is 3-4 years. because when there is that range, no-one is surprised to hear if 36 months old tiger is ready to breed. 33 months is almost there, so it is just a little bit out of that, what would be considered perfectly normal. That happens of course, that some individual are a little bit early time to time and some are past four years, but when vast majority are there in range 3-4 years, then that is what researchers publish.

No, actually the mean average age of 3-4 year is 3.5 years(3 year 6 months). That is average female age for reaching sexual maturity. 

The case Kingtheropod shown was exceptional. Because it's close to reach 3 years (which is the least age in the range of 3-4 years). Which still had a gap of 3 months. The 2 year 9 months tigress is not even in the least range (3 years ), which is why Its exceptional case. 

The same goes for the 3 year 7 month male tiger mentioned by kingtheropod. These are exceptional cases... Reply
