s next to almost all other animals, a special role comes up upbringing the junior staff too next to the tiger. To from this is few years in life of a tigress with upbringing busy. Masculine tigers have to only do extremely rarely with upbringing.

On average, a tigress brings two pups to the world after a pregnancy of approximately 95 to 118 days. As extrema, you can indicate one or more than six boys. The distance between the births of the individual baby tigers varies from 20 to 40 minutes. Therefore, an entire birth course of events can last over two hours. In an exception, reported by K. S. Sankhala, a birth can last up to 12 hours.

The tigress has two teat pairs and therefore, can suckle four young simultaneously. During great throws can it occur that a tigress some yours killing late arrivals in the family and devours. One can also observe this if the nut animal is very much excited. Someone can find equally that they eat young tiger those became composed from the mother solely older tigers, there these gone on hunt. This cannibalism is under no circumstances as rare as one wants to accept. It gives in most cases e.g. subjective into India fields in which considered more feminine as masculine tiger may exist. From the fact stems from the fact belief that developed tigers only killing the masculine young tigers since these would be able to be later a danger unlike the feminine ones for her. Although this assumption holds itself stubborn in India, no scientific evidence for the thesis could be produced up to now.

At birth, the young tigers are for instance as big as a full-grown house cat. The masculine tiger pups weigh the feminine tiger pups bringing "only" between 650 1.300 grams lasting at birth between 1.300 and 1.900 grams to the scale. This information come from 1964 and were reported by L. S. Crandall. You can recognize clearly a sexualdimorphism here. Similar to the human being and with the human being, there is also of course so-called "earlies" that got no chances mostly to survive in free hunting ground, but in the most zoological gardens they got a mortalitirate of, nevertheless, only 48%.

The newborn tigers are both blind and deaf since the external external auditory canal is still closed. Within the first to second life week, the external auditory canal and only little opens itself later too the eyes. Therefore, odour has a big role in addition to the first looks and noises to play in the first days for tie the young tiger to the mother (educator - if an upbringing through the human being instead of finds). Subsequent can a "schedule" important for the first sections considered in tiger life may be.

The fur drawing also corresponds to that of a grown-up one tiger and is only a little brighter. In the first years, a young tiger is dependent exclusively to the hunt fate and the welfare of its mother, because the male do not involve itself at the may gather, how already mentioned. Should remain the father the boys for some reasons for a longer time time near or the boy later once by chance over the way may start, do not have to mostly fear this of it if they (the young tigers) behave in a appropriate manner. What one now under appropriate understand no doubt, depend of the individual tiger.

Tiger boy increase relatively rapid to size and emphasis, they weigh coarsly as for example six months after birth in a estimated manner 30 kg. The first sentence might serrate (milk teethdouble-exclamation) is developed after about 1,5 months and the small tiger may begin with the meat consumption of small lots, one further (about by one half year after birth) nevertheless suckles also from the mother. The alternation of the long time set of teeth for instance occurs in the last quarter of the first year. In order to give a coarse survey two tables follow via the emphasis evolution and tooth rupture next to tiger pups.

The Indian tiger leaves its mother on the average at two years. Lasting this he learns time all from his mother what he needs in order to survive alone. It is of numerous cat- or known general animal species, that the young animals catch primary booty for yours, however do not (directly) kill it. The mothers bring the harmless "practice object" for their junior staff, demonstrate for them what having to make her and then eye her junior staff as this moves the lesson. This play wants to strike as cruel, however, it's essential to learn all hunt skills which were needed. However, it occasionally occurs also that the caught young animal according to ending of the hunt lesson, made paint with wounds or made paint too unharmed run again composed is - however, it is rule to honor to consume the young booty animal.

While upbringing through the human being the tiger pups, no greater complications normally occur. In addition to the usual problems, as the cat pups not receiving may their bottle (lying with the back) in back position, around vomiting before to may bend, gives up it nonetheless a phenomenon for that a layman would not be allowed to have been prepared. That may lick the mother has other effects in addition to a purge aspect also. It supports digested in addition to the digestion itself also the Ab guided tour already. On licking the field around the anus becomes a reflex to the level caused. Cellulose and warm water, e.g. a moist cloth is mostly from people employed in order to stimulate this reflex. The said cloth is abraded to the anus next to the small tiger. If this is not made, then the small tiger will die after few days to plug and/or intestine rupture. However, the tiger requires no aid more (*g*) after a couple of weeks. the only tongue similar substitute which the human being can offer is the hand. One would be able to therefore say, that if one sufficient his tiger pup in the first weeks and months not strokes, one danger fills up its (the the pup) to to influence life negatively - disregard!!!

That itself tiger pups gathered with the hand very rapid on the people may get is also confessed from numerous studies. Some scientists designate this phenomenon as a blemish stamp on the people and formulate it that tigers in addition to bad parents gathered in such a way are no more usable too for discipline. A contention very thin in my eyes a little. However, one can not expel one from the hand: All cats, regardless whether tiger or house cat those were educated by people, may be though physically grown-up, however, small gamblie internally always remain cats. Since one does not want to achieve this in zoological gardens, the time of the contact is held so small with the human being as possible (!!).

Questions should still emerge for this topic, you objection to a comment wanted to say and/or simple something for this, then elegant simply an email to me:
