Bengal tigers are about three years old when they first start to mate. Additional Info: The Bengal or Indian Tigers age sexually, at different rates according to the gender. So, the ages for males and females are different in respect to sexual maturity. The average age for a Bengal Tiger female to reach sexual maturity is three to four years old, while a Bengal Tiger male has to be just slightly older, on average four to five years old. For more information see the sites listed below.

Jim Corbett, famed man eater slayer of the early twentieth century, had a tiger known to him as the Pipil Pani tiger, who, set adrift by his mother when just a little over a year old, found a mate at the age of two and a half. Source: Man eaters of Kumaon, by Jim Corbett.
