Rare Video: Father Tiger pitches in to raise cubs

This is a rare sight in the animal kingdom - a tiger couple raising the cubs.

A Break from Convention
Traditionally, tiger mothers have been considered the primary caregivers, - responsible for rearing the cubs from birth to adolescence.

However, the video shared on Twitter showcases an alternative narrative, where the father tiger plays an integral role in the upbringing of his offspring.

A Rare Phenomenon
While male involvement in cub rearing has been observed before, it remains relatively rare in the wild.

 

It is believed that the mother's physical limitations or the abundance of resources sometimes influence the father tiger's active participation.

Regardless of the cause, this exceptional display emphasizes the emotional capacity and nurturing nature of these enigmatic creatures.
