I remember the story of Kamunyak... she was alone. If I recall, her pride was killed off by a band of roaming rivals seeking to expand their territory. Males will often wander solo as bachelor's, but not the females. Imo, that was a key factor for why she was keeping the calves around. She was lonely. It was a very sad story.

Kamunyak's story is a thriller movie plot in itself. Imagine, a woman who's lost a child goes insane and starts kidnapping children all over her neighborhood believing them to be her own. Most of them find a way to escape and go back to their parents, but at least one starves to death without proper care from an unstable kidnapper who barely eats anything herself.

Tigers, despite being fully solitary animals, can be REAL ride or die. The zoo I used to work at had a pair of Bengals. Female died due to a congenital condition (honestly, she lived much longer than expected). Her mate basically stopped eating. He'd nibble, but he was more or less starving himself and pacing (yes, I know many animals pace in zoos, but this was a new behavior for him). He ended up developing a heart condition that was potentially caused by stress. Again, he hadn't shown any zoochosis symptoms before her passing, and attempts at introducing a new mate were quickly shut down. He was not having it. Tigers don't love easily, but when they *do* love, they love HARD.

Growing up on farms, I saw animals do so much weird crap. I've got tons of stories, but my personal favorite was when a young female cat had her first litter. Things went well. About a week later the new mom's much older mother had a litter of her own. After the babies were born, were washed, and got their first nurse, old mama cat suddenly got up, carefully grabbed one of the newborns and carried it to her daughter's box. One by one, she transferred her babies to join her daughter's brood. She gave her daughter a good bath and then washed her paws of the whole mess and never nursed her own babies again. But the crazy part is that she hunted for her daughter. She'd spend hours catching mice and birds and delivering the meat to the box. When she made a delivery she'd help give all the kids a bath, but she never slept with the family. She did this faithfully until all the babies were weaned and then she started bringing in live prey and helped teach them how to hunt. She was the best feline grandmother I ever saw. It's like she just said, "Screw this. I'm too old to handle newborns and toddlers again. But I'll keep you as comfortable as possible while you deal with it." The young mom seemed happy with the arrangement. Grandma's body had enough and she never got pregnant again. It was surprisingly common for moms in the colony to share a communal nest lion-style and take turns nursing all of the babies, but this grandma cat's behavior was far outside the norm and she'd never done anything like that before.

Honestly, we SAY it makes *more* sense to abandon the cubs for the Male, but its likely just a sign of really productive hunting grounds for the tiger. If he's meating (pun intended) his calorie intake with ease and has nothing to do and KNOWS his young are nearby and he can easily drop a cow or somesuch to feed em, it makes sense for him to do so. And teaching them to hunt is again, perfectly reasonable behavior for him IF he knows that he has plenty of food. Plenty of animals are more 'compassionate' when in extremely resource abundant environments, so why not cats?

There are two others I can think of. 1. In 2011, a male Bengal Tiger known as T25 raised two female cubs after their mother passed. It's believed that the two were his. It differed from the male in this video; T25 actively stayed with the two and taught them how to survive. He was very protective of them, even when he chased off one of his mates because he thought she was a threat to them. What's more, that mate was in heat. So yeah, he chose his kids over getting some. Sadly, this story would have two unhappy endings. First, rangers were forced to tranquilize the two cubs and move them to another park after they started getting closer to a village. T25 was actually seen in distress for a time after that. Also, T25 would end up being forced out of his territory by a younger male. He received injuries from the fight and passed away. 2. In December 2018, an Asiatic lioness was seen by rangers nursing her two cubs... and a leopard cub. This was a surprise because we all know that lions and leopards hate each other. To the point where they would kill each other's cubs, or adult lions killing adult leopards. However, this leopard cub was a member of the family. Not only was the lioness nursing it, but her own cubs were also seen playing with it. Rangers believed the leopard cub was abandoned by its mother, and the lioness adopted it because she had cubs of similar age, and her maternal instinct must have kicked in. Because she adopted the cub, rangers gave her the name Raksha, after the mother wolf from "The Jungle Book" (and yes, they even named the leopard cub Mowgli). Unfortunately, this story also has an unhappy ending; because the rangers would eventually find Mowgli dead. He wasn't killed by lions or other predators; it was revealed that he died from a hernia. I like to believe that Raksha adopted the cub because she knew he was sick and decided to give him the motherly love he deserved before he passed.

In Florida, a real estate agency has a designated spot for a pair of bald eagles to nest in (Harriet and M15). The channel Southwest Florida Eagle Cam has live streams of the raptor pair every season they fly in and nest to spawn offspring. Two years ago they lost one of the eaglets (E14, it was named). Harriet was clearly distraught and gently nudging the carcass before M14 (her then-mate) flew in. Out of respect, the real estate agency turned the nest camera away while Harriet disposed of the carcass in the best way that raptors know how: cannibalizing the body (i.e. she ate it). Animals totally have feelings although not to the same degree humans do.

Reminds me of the flamingo breeding program at the zoo. They'd built their nests right up next to the fence, and the zoo guide was explaining that they feel safest in large groups, which the hand-raised ones were willing to consider zoo guests a part of. (And then the zoo staff had to build out some additional fencing around that edge of the enclosure, because nestlings projectile poop. They were still very cute little bits of gray fluff, but I was glad to be _told_ that rather than learn it from personal experience.)
@emmao6578 Жыл бұрын
I can't decide if the flamingos building the nests close to the crowds is more sad or adorable but think I'm leaning towards more sad because by being kept in captivity they are obviously being kept in a smaller group than they feel safe in 😢 The projectile poop part is just hilarious though, definitely better not to find that out first-hand 😂

When people say animals don't reason and are only driven by their instincts, I just think about my cats. When they're sitting near the table, sometimes on a chair, looking at our food with sparkles in their eyes but they don't just pounce on it, that shows self restraint, and the fact that they know we'll get angry if they steal our food. Once, my cat even jumped on the table from excitement, then froze and immediatly got down, before we could even react, like she just realized she had made a mistake.

That’s the thing, permanent mating bonds like that are really uncommon in felines in general. Most big cats set up harems or polyamorous relations, though lions are the unusual one with the harem being the male centric type. I’m fairly sure that the usual tiger set up is like the leopards where the females set up a territory and the males will set up circling territories to swing by during mating season. I’m fairly sure in most tiger populations both the males and females have multiple partners and they tend to not be very social so it’s more of a hi, bye situation. It would not be unusual for the litter to have different fathers. So yeah he was super specially unusually attached.

@@ookamiblade6318 People need to be careful when anthropomorphizing creatures. Most of them do not have the same level of empathy and therefore bonding level we do. And this isn't a human sitting on a high horse thing, it's just that our super complex social structure and survival adaptation lead to it. Cats don't need it. That said, mutations are a big part of evolution. This particular tiger might of actually had more of a bond, or perhaps because his mate died instead of just leaving it created a sort of sentimentality response due to some kind of mutation in how he bonded. It's insanely unusual and by no means common. It will likely not happen again unless tigers evolve more to be less solitary. Which would only happen though pressure and mutation. It could also happen if tigers were intentionally bred to be more docile and form stronger lasting bonds. But that would also probably change them outright, as shown with the Russian fox experiment. Docile traits lead to different mutations overtime which changes the structure, hence why a dog is not a wolf. House cats for instance are colony animals, not actually solitary and they've become so through selective breeding (both in human intervention and natural adaptation due to a symbiotic relationship with humans - Dogs too, but we took that a step further and did it for much longer) for relaxed child like traits in order to deal with being in a human house hold.

@@vixxcelacea2778 Sorry, but dogs are NOT solitary animals. There are very, very few differences in DNA between domestic dogs and grey Wolves, its why we are positive that Dogs were originally grey wolves.

That being said your point about feral housecats being colony animals does actually appear to be true in places. Which is remarkable, I am assuming you have seen some of the same data and footage of Cat Island I have? If so I am assuming you agree with the fact I am not only astounded by the cat colonies, but also fascinated by them. Definitely not normal behaviour for felines however, as you said, with the exception of Lions. As for not anthropomorphising animals, when it comes to animal behaviour that is not only the best advice to give, it is literally Rule 1. Far, far too many people make that mistake. As a Marine/Evolutionary Ecologist who has had to give many lectures on an Introduction to Animal Behaviour its literally the first point I try to express to my students.

It could actually be the males know every cub they fathered but keep away to tend to more important tasks such as to patrol their territory. An adult male's presence may be the only thing preventing other males from entering the area and putting the cubs in danger. The males show they care but in their own way.

Our eyes and brains are also built to calculate distance and tragetory as in geometry is part of us. This means we have been using tools for so long that we evolved to better utilize them. Many animals today completely alter things in their environment to better suit them and that is the precursor to how we operate. We were just a creature that became adept at altering it's environment and then further evolved down this path due to it being the most successful. Homosapaians even outcompeted Neanderthals and this helped lead to their extinction(including other factors) due to our ingenuity and use of much more advanced tools such as the atlatl.

I think for the Tiger dad one, that his cubs might have learned from his behavior and now might go on to do the same thing in the future which is kinda exciting because we might get a higher survival rate for Tigers if this co-parenting trait keeps getting passed on. Or it might just be a one time thing, who knows.

My cat disappeared after having two litters of kittens (accidentally). I think it was on purpose because they were old enough to fend for themselves when she left, but their dad immediately stepped up and took over the role of parent where he had been quite awkward with them before that. We kept three kittens and he still acts like the father with them. But for non domesticated animals, that is absolutely mind blowing! 🤯

Honestly, even for house cats that have been bred for thousands of years that's pretty unusual. Though not entirely rare as what would be with tigers. That's cute that the male kitty enjoys the company of his kids. House cats are more social than people think. So males liking kittens isn't unheard of. Lots of ambassador cats are male, because females tend to mainly bond with their own kittens and not unrelated ones.

I hadn’t heard about the tiger raising the 4 cubs before, that’s really cool.

In the end people had to intervene and relocate the cub. But, still, big cats are so fascinating.

With cats, I've noticed they have reeeeeally strong motherly instincts. My cat, who lived most of her life intact, was very different after getting spayed because it turned out the same cat that had adopted five kittens on top of her own six (nearly starving to death for them), and would still happily adopt kittens months later, and would guard the door whenever I used the bathroom, disliked kids and didn't care what I was doing once she didn't have her mommy hormones anymore. On occasion her protective side still comes out, but she doesn't comfort people when they cry anymore. She gets mad if she sees kittens. It's nuts how overpowering their hormones can be of their actual(?) personalities.
@Struudeli Жыл бұрын
My childhood cat was neutered after we saved her from the streets, where she lost two litters. She got a third one, because she was pregnant when we adopted her and was operated after weening the kittens. She walked into our apartment and decided we are her family and never left us again. She had not done that to any other family on the area. She never stopped treating me and my two brothers as her own kittens. She cleaned us, kept us safe and guarded us when my depressed mother was sleeping a lot. The cat went to wake up our mom if things got too much our of hand, but usually she comforted us and kept us from fighting herself. When my little brother was still a little toddler she saved him from a European viper. Ran in front of him and stopped him from running right over a baby snake. Then even went to get our mom and made sure she saw the snake. She licked our faces when we cried, was always there and ready to offer support and gave us the kind of deep, wild, motherly love I have never seen from any pet before or after. For her it was so deeply part of her, such a bad trauma she had experienced, that it never left her. And it made her happy to baby us. She had to be put down on my 18th birthday. We kept trying not to cry to not make her worried and thanking her for everything. She was buried at our cabin on the countryside. Couple years later we found another stray at the cabin. Then another. Then third. I live in Finland where most stray cats die in one winter but here they were coming, so many wild stray cats. I like to think it's her leading other lonely cats to a place where she knows they will be loved and cared for. And my cats, old wild boys, are so gorgeous and so wonderful.

There was a second circus ring sized caged enclosure attached to the main tent, and in it a tiger pacing around. The absolute power and strength of that big cat blew me away. I remember looking down at my kids, the youngest still an infant in her pram, and looking around for the closest place to run to if that tiger broke free, and realising that there would be no hope of getting away from that tiger. It was quite an awe inspiring but terrifying realisation. Essentially, don’t piss off tigers.
