Evolution from Cubs to senior
0:05
Predators tigers are among the most
0:09
magnificent Predators on our planet but
0:12
have you ever wondered how their eating
0:15
habits evolve throughout their
0:17
lives today we're exploring the
0:20
fascinating changes in Tiger's diets as
0:23
they
0:24
age tigers are carnivores meaning they
0:27
primarily eat meat
0:31
however their dietary needs and hunting
0:33
abilities change significantly from
0:36
birth to old
0:38
age let's start at the beginning with
0:41
tiger
0:42
cubs newborn tiger cubs rely entirely on
0:46
their mother's milk for the first few
0:48
weeks of life this nutrient Rich milk
0:53
provides all the Essential Elements they
0:55
need for rapid
0:57
growth around 6 to 8 weeks C Cubs begin
1:01
to sample meat brought back to the den
1:03
by their
1:04
mother this marks the start of their
1:07
transition to a carnivorous
1:09
diet as tiger cubs grow into adolescents
1:13
typically around 1880 months old they
1:15
start learning to hunt alongside their
1:18
mother during this stage their diet
1:21
expands to include a variety of smaller
1:24
prey such as deer wild boar and
1:27
occasionally smaller predators
1:30
these hunting experiences are crucial
1:32
for developing their skills and building
1:35
strength adult tigers are apex predators
1:39
capable of taking down large prey their
1:43
diet primarily consists of ulates like
1:46
deer wild boar and even smaller species
1:49
of
1:50
bears in some regions they may also hunt
1:54
livestock if their natural prey becomes
1:57
scarce an adult tiger can consume up to
2:01
55 lounds of meat in a single meal
2:04
though they don't eat every day as
2:07
Tigers enter their senior years usually
2:09
around 10 to 12 years old in the wild
2:12
their dietary needs and hunting
2:14
abilities change once again older Tigers
2:17
May struggle to take down larger prey
2:20
due to reduced strength and
2:22
Agility they often shift towards hunting
2:25
smaller easier to catch
2:28
animals some may even scavenge more
2:31
frequently to meet their nutritional
2:34
needs throughout their lives Tiger's
2:37
diets adapt to their changing physical
2:40
abilities and energy
2:43
requirements from milk dependent Cubs to
2:46
powerful adult Hunters finally to more
2:49
cautious older Predators these dietary
2:53
shifts reflect the challenges and
2:56
changes Tigers face in different life
2:58
stages
3:01
understanding these changes is crucial
3:03
for conservation efforts and ensuring
3:06
the survival of these magnificent
3:08
creatures in their natural habitats
