Life cycle of a tiger By Tenayah

Tigers are the biggest cats of all. There are 6 different kinds of tiger. Most tigers live and hunt alone, and they are carnivores. Baby tigers are called cubs.
First the male and female mate and fertilise the egg. Following this gestation is when the baby is growing inside the mother belly and it stays in there 103 days.
Not long after cubs are born. Soon after, 3 / 4 babies are born.  At this stage cubs feed from the mother because they drink the milk for 8 weeks. After three years they hunt on their own.

In the end cubs grow into adult tiger. Meanwhile the adult tiger lives and hunt on their own. At this point male the female mate. As result of this the mother lays more eggs.
Tigers have 3 or 4 tigers each year.
