Tigers usually live solitary lives. The only time when tigers live in group is when a mother is raising her young and teaching them how to hunt, besides that tigers can be seen in groups of two during the mating season but still tend to keep safe distances from each other at other times.</p>
<p>
Male tigers leave their mothers and siblings and usually spend their whole lives alone and are only seen around other males if there is a conflict over territory, food, or a potential mate.</p>
