They protect their babies with their body and their teeth. They can also run while carrying them with their teeth. They sleep lying almost on top of them to help shelter them from the elements and predators.

Tigers care for their young by hunting food for them. They try and keep them as well protected as possible at ALL times. They usually carry their young by their neck with their mouth. It does not hurt them because they know where to grab their young. They grab them in bottom of neck, closer to the scapula in a human body.

Hope it helped!
They take care of their youngs just like cats we keep at home, but of course they have to get food for the youngs after their lactation period instaed of being fed regularly by their keepers.
1. A mother tiger nurses her young for about three to six months. The father does not assist in their upbringing.

2. Cubs open their eyes at about one week of age, but do not see clearly until about two months of age.

3. For the first two months, tiger cubs are confined to the den site, and are seldom left unattended. During this time, females may move their cubs several times to new dens to avoid predators like leopards, hyenas, jackals, and unfamiliar male tigers. When moving, the female gently carries the cubs, one by one, in her jaws.

4. After two months of age, the cubs begin to eat meat. The female will hunt on her own, and afterwards lead her cubs to the kill. The cubs now weigh about 10 kg (22 lb.).

5. Tiger cubs are quite playful, and spend their time stalking and leaping on each other, or attacking their mother's tail. They also practice their stalking technique on small animals, like birds or insects.

6. By about six months of age, the cubs are weaned and they begin traveling with their mother as she hunts.

7. For the following year, the cubs are taught how to hunt. At first, the cubs watch their mother as she hunts.Next, the mother may cripple a deer or buffalo and let the cubs finish it off. Finally, the cubs practice their skills on their own.
They care for there young by feeding the cubs milk for 6-8 weeks then after that the mother tiger finds prey to feed her young. By the time the white tiger is 18 months it will be getting its own food.
Tigers care for their young in a few ways. They protect their young by watching over them. They also feed their young and bath them by licking them.

Tigers keep their babies hidden safely while they go out to hunt. They bring the food back to their young. Until the young are old enough for their mother to teach them how to fend for themselves.

First, note that the only difference between white tigers and regular tigers is color. It is like a person who has hair that is so light in color, it looks white. Thus, they do not have any unique behaviors compared with other tigers. Tiger cubs are born blind and helpless, and stay in a den of some type, usually a cave or dense thicket. Mother tigers protect them and nurse them for three to six months. At that point, they switch to eating meat and accompany their mother as she hunts. By 18 months old, they can hunt for themselves, and by two and a half years they move away to live on their own.

Why did oviparous evolved into viviparous?

The two reasons for vertebrates to evolve from oviparity ( Egg-laying) to viviparity (Giving live birth) are :- 1. To increase the number of successful births as in viviparity the offspring is protected by the mother whereas in oviparity eggs laid can easily be eaten by other animals. Hence viviparity is selected by natural selection and they evolved to viviparity. 2.In oviparity the youngs developed are mostly poor as no care is given by the mother. In viviparity the youngs get full care from the mother in terms off oxygen and nutrients so the youngs developed are more healthy in viviparity. So they were selected by natural selection and were evolved to viviparity.

Why should people care about the white tiger?

White tigers, an extremely rare color anomaly found in Bengal tigers, are not a separate subspecies of tiger on their own. All white tigers are descended from a white male captured in Rewa India decades ago. Bred for their beauty and as a token for the curious, white tigers often have genetic abnormalities due to the inbreeding involved in their ancestry. White tigers should not be bred for our enjoyment, as the animals suffer in many occasions.
