Put together this jigsaw to see a tiger mother with her cub

Tiger mothers are very involved parents and tend to select territories with good cover and access to food for their young. During the first few months, they spend much of their time around the den, ensuring their young are warm, fed, and healthy. As they grow, cubs eventually accompany her on hunts. Even though tiger moms are territorial, they are also flexible. If a new male comes into her territory, she will very willingly leave with her cubs to protect them.
