      Because he took the mothers place of raising them he has to show them that he cares and can be trusted. czcams.com/video/SR6X-j55eEA/video.html

    bonus fact: The white spots on the back of tigers ears are meant to look like eyes. Many predators only attack when they think you dont see them, so these ear spots protect against suprise attacks from behind.

      That is true for polar bears too. Or you can take off your clothes and throw it towards the polar bear and it'll stop and smell it, but then you'll freeze to death since you usually encounter polar bears in very cold climates. Freezing to death may be preferable to being eaten alive though.

    I'm amazed at how the cubs were honing their stalking skills without being taught by their mother or anyone else. A natural innate instinct, quite interesting indeed.

    They are growing into big, gorgeous tigers. It is amazing how the instincts kick in, even though they're being raised by humans. You can't deny millions of years of evolution.

      +Katherine Uribe All animals are coded with information - its called DNA - which is why animals have a predisposition to act in certain ways no matter the environment...Evolutionists seem to think that information can write itself - or indeed that life started by the magic of lightning hitting rocks etc ....Theres is no fool proof dating of time going back 6,000 years (carbon dating) - I could go on and on - but like all pro evolutionists I'm sure your heart is set on believing this fallacy, so I'll leave you to it. :)

    I love how the Tigers act like tigers, yet at the same time like young boys. Stripe especially was like, 'Cmon Dad, help me out here! I can't swim!' And when he slipped in and his 'dad' caught him and gave him reassurance was just perfect. They are being brought up in the right way for human tiger interaction! They aren't being mistreated, nor are they being treated like humans, as many people do!
