5 Intriguing Facts About Tiger Cubs
Tigers captivate our imaginations, even more so during their early days. Here are some mesmerizing tidbits about tiger cubs that kids will find absolutely engrossing:
- Rapid Growth: Upon birth, tiger cubs tip the scales at a mere 785-1610 grams. Yet, their weight quadruples within the first month of life!
- Eyes that Tell a Tale: While most tiger cubs are born with azure eyes that gradually shift to a golden hue, white tigers are the unique exception.
- Blind Beginnings: Cubs come into the world sightless. It takes a week or so for their eyes to open and approximately two weeks to gain clarity in their vision.
- Dietary Evolution: Around the age of 6-8 weeks, cubs transition from relying solely on their mother’s milk to introducing meat into their diet.
- Survival Challenges: Tragically, only about half of all cubs make it past their initial weeks, facing threats from harsh weather, malnutrition, ailments, and predators. Furthermore, mother tigers may sometimes neglect or even abandon a frail or ailing cub, focusing their attention on nurturing the healthier ones.
Bonus Fact: By the age of 1 to 1.5 years, tiger cubs shed their milk teeth. This milestone often coincides with the time they accompany their mothers on hunting excursions, learning the intricate dance of the hunt.
