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.

This is far from been a surprise. It is already a well know fact that male tigers are excellent fathers, via several accounts in literature, both old and modern.

From Scientific studies, since 1967, Schaller recorded this behavior but it was not well understood. Latter, McDougal and Sunquist also recorded interactions of the large males with they cubs and finally the great Valmik Thapar finally proved that male tigers do care about they cubs.

Modern reports, plus several pictures have corroborated this, showing male tigers sharing they kills with they females and cubs and even raising cubs when the mother is dead. Like I told to Pckts before, it is not a single case, there are several, and in all cases, male tigers give priority to his females with cubs.

Interestingly, the two adult females that shared the prey with the large male, were probably sisters. This is based in the fact that related females tolerate each other, make territories around that of they mother, and in rare cases (when a large kill is available), they share it. If the females were not related, they will surely fight (especially with the cubs), even in the presence of the male.
