How many egg cells do tigers produce at once?

Females reach sexual maturity at 3-4 years. They can mate all year round, but mating is generally more common between November and April. Gestation for cubs takes about 16 weeks and the cubs are dependent on their mothers for about 18 months after that. The mortality rate of tiger cubs is fairly high - approximately half do not survive to be more than two years old. A tigress may give birth to another litter within 5 months if the cubs of the previous litter are lost. Tigers usually have a litter with 2-4 cubs but they can have as many as 6 cubs in one litter.

On average tigers will live for 10 to 15 years out in the wild and 16 to 20 years in captivity, though there is one Australian tiger recorded as living to the ripe old age of 26. It is doubtful that tigers past the age of 20 would remain fertile.

Taken together, this suggests that a single tigress may breed from 10 to 24 cubs over her life.

Tigers are pure carnivores. They prefer hunting large ungulates such as chital, sambar, gaur, and to a small extent also barasingha, water buffalo, nilgai, serow and takin. Among the medium-sized prey species they frequently kill wild boar, and occasionally hog deer, muntjac and Gray langur. Small prey species such as porcupines, hares and peafowl are also hunted and form a very small part in their diet. Sometimes, they also prey on domestic livestock too that wander off into the jungles

They stay hidden and move near the unsuspecting prey. Once they are near enough, they pounce and take the prey down. They go for the throat and strangulate their prey.
