It is divided equally between the sexes cubs at birth. However, before the age of puberty, there are usually 2-4 females per male. The female cubs stay with their mothers for a longer period, and later the establishment of areas close to the original ranges. Males, on the other hand, travel unaccompanied and as far earlier in their lives, making them more vulnerable to thieves and other tigers.
