Tiger hunting

At the beginning of a tiger’s life, cubs feed on their mother’s milk, before moving onto the meat she catches. Once the cubs are around eight to ten months old they will start to hunt with their mother, spending the next year or two learning how to hunt from her example. The mother will play with her cubs in order to teach her offspring useful life skills like pouncing and stalking. She will take her cubs on hunting expeditions to showcase how a kill is made, in the hope that the cubs will mimic her technique. Once their training is complete, the next generation of hunters will leave their mother’s side and seek their own territories in which to hunt for prey.
