Life Cycles: What is the tiger's life history?

This history includes significant features of the life cycles for survival and reproduction. A tiger's strategy is the maintenance of territories. When a tiger is born and matures, it needs its mother's milk and help for about three months as a cub. But when it matures, it still depends on its mother while traveling with her, eating her kills, and playing with its little mates.

Finding a territory may take a long time and it is a very risky part of a tiger's life; many tigers die during this stage. After a territoriy is established, mating occurs. A female enters the motherhood stage of her life. The female marks its territory with its spray everywhere. That creates a perimeter of 10 miles around a male tiger.
