Mother Tiger Learns to Care for Cubs | David Attenborough | Tiger Spy in the Jungle | BBC Earth

A young tiger cub - one of a littler of four - tumbles from the den, only to be carried back to safety in it's mother's massive jaws. Astonishing footage shot in the Indian jungle using cameras attached to elephants.

Nature at it's finest. 500 kilos of pressure in her bite and she picks them up so gently. Magic little video.

"This mom has a lot to learn." *holds kid by leg* "This is not the way to do it!"
Mom Tiger : "HOW 'BOUT YOU MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND LET ME CATCH THIS SCREAMING BANSHE BEFORE HE FALLS ANOTHER 8 STORIES!"

the way they fall and tumble around is so darn cute

[phuonglam]

Its like you just away for 5 seconds then another kid gets into trouble

Poor mum. I can just hear her saying "I swear to God Jeffrey, if you don't come here right now, I'm going to turn this den around and then you'll be sorry!"

That tigress is so muscly. You can definitely tell the difference between a wild tiger and captive tiger.

For anyone just now watching, these 4 cubs against all odds were raised healthy and to full maturity. Nature wasnt so harsh ti them :)

The mother tiger featured in this documentary recently passed away from old age. She was over 16 years old and had mothered about 29 cubs in her lifetime. Rest in peace, Collarwali. ❤️

Must be so annoying to have to pick up one cub only to notice that while you were away, the other ones have exited the cave to go on an adventure...

What a wonderful mother, you can see her try to keep it together and retrieve all her cubs safely. A hand must not only be given to human mothers for their devotion but animals go on another level.

So tiring to be mum of four babies who have just started walking

[MurmulloLatino]

So precious!! Really hope most of them reached maturity.

[Paralianpoet]

It is so frustrating without the hands. Thank god we have hands.

[trumayne]

how can something be the size of hand at birth, turn into a 400 to 600 pound beast? it's truly amazing

[matthe]

These cubs sum up the monday morning on my way to work

[tinkerheck]

I bet she really regrets taking the beautiful penthouse now.

Respect to all mom out there! This just shows that no matter what species you are, we are still animals, a mother is still a mother. So you guys better respect your moms, they've been there from the beginning, doesn't matter if they're not there in the end.
