Adult tigers-both male and female--live alone and hunt over a wide area.After a very brief mating period,females give birth to two to six cubs.The cubs are completely dependent on their mothers at first and stay with her for several years.Although roughly the same number of males and females are born,the male cubs move further from the mother to establish their own territories.Consequently,they encounter more dangers so fewer of them survive as compared to female cubs whose territories are closer to their mother's.All adult Siberian tigers need a very
large territory of up to 450 kilometers.
