During this time, the mother teaches the cubs essential survival skills like:
* Hunting: She will start by bringing back small prey and then gradually introduce them to larger animals.
* Socialization: The cubs learn how to interact with other tigers, even if they are not siblings.
* Territorial awareness: They learn the boundaries of their territory and how to defend it.
After this period, the cubs will usually disperse to establish their own territories and start their own families.
