Where does the Tiger stay for its prey ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tigers (Panthera tigris) are one of the largest predators in the world. Each tiger has their own large territory in which males have a larger home range size than females. According to tiger research (Panthera tigris corbetti) in Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, which has been studied by Khao Nang Rum Wildlife Research Station, found that male tigers have a home range size of approximately 267-300 km2 while females home range size is about 60-70 km2. Tigers usually hunt alone at night or at dawn, they are a solitary species except when females feed their cubs.

Female tigers reach maturity at 3 years old while males will reach maturity at 4 or 5 years old. Tigers are non-seasonal breeders. During mating, males and females stay together for 4-5 days and can copulate every 15-20 minutes. Female gestation period is about 100-103 days and can give birth to 2-4 cubs per litter. There is a 50 to 70% chance that tiger cubs can survive and reach adulthood. However, tiger cubs cannot survive without their mother until they reach 18-24 months old, after that they will separate from their mother and start finding their own territories.
