-Male arrives, a courting process starts.
-The male initiates various howls and whines, to which she responds accordingly. They smell one another, lick and purr while rubbing their bodies against each other.

-Male tigers mate with the females in their territory. Female tigers the limiting factor in sustaining the tiger populations.

-Example: Research is being done in India to improve the tiger population there.
-Mating homozygous recessive white tigers to achieve all white progeny will lead to inbreeding depression and loss of genetic variability.
