They probably took the baby away from his mother because tiger moms that are in captivity do not know by instinct how to take care of their babies..or hunt.. But IM just guessing
Do you guys see how many ppl said y'all had no rite taking that baby the mother should have bitten your head off that's wat I would have done...........try Ma and see wat happens
why not just bring the mom inside too? that is too sad. i felt real bad when she was pacing around with it looking for a place to hid it safely. all cats of all sizes like to hid their young for safety. not cool!
LOL baby tiger trying to roar but all that comes out is a "Waaah" xD
I do feel sorry for the mommy tiger though.. ya I do know how it would be better for the cub to be treated by professionals but- for a mother to be parted with her child.. x.x .. not so fun really.
S&R let the mom tiger take care of their babies. They are also bottle fed if need be. They have also for 20+ years given cubs to zoos etc as part of their save the tiger work. Mind you they allow their tigers to stay wild and yet they can work with them without beating. Weird that other big cat owners etc cant do that. Guess they dont take the time (years from birth) that S&R take.
This was fun to watch until they cubnapped the little guy from it's mom. So, we are suppose to just assume she would've been a bad mom. Maybe she is stressed from being imprisoned. I know I would be.
Look at the way she was pacing & carrying it, like she was trying to figure out how they could escape to give her cub a real tiger life.
Millions of years of adaptions. There are 9 different tiger subspecies. A South China Tiger is known to be the original ancestor of all tiger subspecies, which means all Tigers evolved from the SCT. And they have broader stripers, longer snout, smaller size and longer legs(in proportion) compared to other tiger subspecies. They are also the most endangered Tiger Subspecies. Extinct in the wild, 70 left in zoos, all descended from just 50 individuals!
the mothers will kill, eat, reject or even neglect their young. They are an endangered species so the cubs need to be cared for! Without the risk of the mother!
what the hell are they feeding it ??? formula???? jesus....why didn't they just have an indoor cage where the mom could take care of her cub and still be warm? that was heart wrenching watching the baby cry and cry and cry for his mother :(
I Was So Distraught Watching Him Singing Out For His Mother, as I Have Read Everything That Has Been Said Up Above And Taken Into Account That South China Tigers Are Very Much Endangered, But To Take Away From His Mother No Matter The Weather Was The Cruelest Act. 2 Days Has Gone By and Still No Mother in Sight.I am Very Much a Tiger Conservationists and Have a Great Love and Respect For These Magnificent Big Cats, The Reason They Are Becoming Extinct is Coz of Us. Lets Get Real Now B4 2 Late.
THE ANIMAL IS ALMOST EXTINCT! IT WAS WAY TO RISKY FOR IT TO BE LEFT WITH ITS MOTHER! only 30 exist! so just stfu about saying it should have been left with its mother!
It's crying because it wants it's mommy! I don't care if she's in captivety and there are doctors to help, a baby's best comfort is it's mother. Mothers keep you safe, warm and loved, it was wrong to take the cub away from its mother. Period.
right..... cause we all know its soo easy to tell pregnancy before weird things happen and by then they are defensive. Read a book, educate yourself. Become a zoo keeper or something to try doing their job. Guaranteed it's not so damn easy, once youve done that THEN you can lecture people trying to save an ENDANGERED species
@Moonstorm100 Gestation for a tigress is 93-100 days. That leaves a variation of approcimately 7 days you would have to keep her enclosed inside. She would certainly not like that, and her restlessness would add to her already moody temperament, making her a threat to zoo keepers. Quit complaining, both the tigress and her cub are fine.
Please read the description of the video.. The cub was removed only because the weather was unseasonally cold out doors and this is a rare South China Tiger, considered to be extinct in the wild. Each of them is important and we cannot risk its live out there in the cold. We have the responsibility to bring it indoors and make sure it grows up healthily, which it did. =)
It was not an easy decision, honestly. But we were glad we made that choice.
@salvydoor5229 It was most likely a mercy to the cub. Female predators in captivity often have a habit of neglecting, attacking or even eating their young. If it was my choice, I'd play it safe and take the cub away.
@salvydoor5229 I think what these wonderful people are doing is nothing less than extraordinary. Sometimes, even the fittest mother needs a helping hand and I think these people are doing an excellent job of protecting and helping these beautiful creatures. God bless :]
People saying they should have left the cub with its mom is like saying human moms should always squat in the woods and have their babies there. Nature didn't tell us what to do when things go wrong: That's what doctors are for. 50% chance for the baby... take the coin toss or go to the hospital?
This rare tiger was born in captivity with pros to give him the best chance at life, who made a call when he was born. I hear he's growing up big and strong, so it would seem they had the right one :)

@SatelliteExile Ok I think you're just exaggerating a bit dont you think? Comparing human mothers to wild animal mothers.

How did they do it? Squating in the woods and having their babies there. Now there's doctors and medicine due to advanced science. Dont compare humans with animals cuz way different.

oh shut up i dont like when people take tigers away from their mother. i love tigers and i will protect them better then anybody would. all people want to do is kill my precious babies. THESE ARE MY BABIES PEOPLE. IF I DONT BECOME I FUTURE MOTHER IM GONNA BECOME THEIR MOTHER. THEY WILL ALWAYS BE MY BABIES.
This video makes me sad. The mother holds the baby in her mouth, pacing back and forth. She's looking for a nest, but she can't find nor build one for she is in a cold metal cage. Why did they tie off the baby's cord and put it on formula? Leave it alone, let the mother take care of the baby. Tigers have babies in nature all the time, and they survive without human interference. I've helped kittens be born, and I've only interefered when the mother cat "allowed" or "invited" me to do so.
To be honest...when I watched this video I was happy, sad and mad.... the reason why im happy is cause a cub is born and mother tiger gave birth to that cub.
sad reason is seperating the cub from its mother.
mad reason is not letting the mother and cub see eachother...and I was hurt..I really wanted those 2 meet and i want the mother to take care of her cub since its hers and why feed the cub juice?
Ok so it's like we are get u pregnant put u in a cage with no soft surfaces or anything then when u give birth we are gunba take away ur baby (cruleity to animals you should be ashamed)
@LilMissKittyKat7277 obviously these people are professionals; they're only being careful due to the small population of these tigers. if your child had a chance of dying, then i don't think you would have any objection to the doctor taking away your child so it will have a better chance of living during the first few hours of its life where there is a high chance of something to go wrong.
if the weather was too cold outside, why didn't you put cathay inside together with her cub. usually after animal giving birth if you separate the mother and her baby, they will be frustrated right?especialy the mother. i'm very interested to learn this kind of thing. i like to learn new things about animals.
i agree that they should leave the cubs with the mother, and only intervine if the mother rejects them, but i think most likely the mother wasn't given the oppourtunity and they took it anyway, but i can't b sure cause it doesn't mention anything as 2 y the cub was taken. but i think maybe they should give the poort thing some company like another kitten or baby something if that cub doesn't have litter mates.
The actions this zoological organization are taking in this video are actually necessary to save the subspecies and as a whole the species because of human activities toward the South China tiger subspecies. For much of the 1900s, besides being hunted for sport, its coat, etc. the Chinese communist govt actually encouraged the eradication of tigers, calling them "pests". There are an est. 50 max in wild so every captive individual born is important.
i agree with abo3isa! If you truly want to "save" the tigers, you need to allow them to take care of one another! Especially allowing the mother to care for her own newborn!!!!!! :'-(
What is with the orange liquid you're feeding him only 30 minutes after being born?! WHERE IS HIS MOTHER'S BREAST MILK?!?!
@abo3isa most likely the baby was crying to actually breathe; a baby's (or cub's) lungs still have fluids inside of them when it was in its mother's womb.
Hello there, the reason it was removed was that during the period when Cathay give birth, the weather was unseasonably cold. There was a risk where the Cub would die of exposure, and hence we did what we thought was the best decision at that time, to remove the cub. Cathay did show motherly instincsts by licking the cub, but the weather was just too cold. This is written in our video description. =)
1,) Often times, animals in captivity, especially big cats, abandon the young and refuse to care for it. not saying that this is the cause.
2.) Human care insures that it stays healthy to ensure that it survives the first few weeks after it's birth, since babies can easily get sick. It also enables them to keep track of the animal's health so as they can monitor any changes.
Thank you for helping us explain the situation here, we are very busy mostly and sometimes lack the time to respond to every doubt. Thank you for helping us clear "lfc4lyfdalton"'s doubts.

@joyride2008 Geez!!! Stop acting like you care more than those professionals. You really care about the endangered animals then you do some research and learn it. Those ppl are professionals who know what they are doing. They are doing hard works. Dont mkae that even harder. Every time I watch a clip about animals, some idiots whine with their stupid compassions. Piss me off!!
It is true that we took a long time to decide, and at last the whole team especially the experts in our team felt that it was important to seperate the cub in case it dies of exposure and that Cathay was a first time mom.
Furthermore, South China Tigers are critically endangered, and every one of them is important, it is our responsibility to make sure it is alive. =)
Thanks for sharing this video! I noticed a lot of hate because of you guys stepping in and helping. If anybody watches many of the animal shows where an animal has given birth with caretakers the caretakers 99.9% step in to make sure the baby will have the best chance of living. In this case it makes even more sense- this type of tiger is very close to becoming extinct! A little help from humans can help save a species! Great work SCT!
Thank you for your kind comments and support. It is supportors like you whom gives us the pillar of strength and motivates us to work even harder to save this critically endangered species whom many experts and conservationists worldwide have openly declared extinct!

It's funny how you say that we couldn't move her to a cage inside because it could stress her.
She's in a cage with just a view.
I'm sure you are lying but nah. I wont get into that buisness. Also it says on your account "SAVECHINATIGERS" How come you raise this pet in a home? So I can go buy a tiger and keep it at home and say I am saving it?
You do not save a animal if you do not let it be with its mother since it dosen't get any hunting experince etc..
This is not a cage, this is our breeding center in Laohu valley reserve, South Africa. The breeding center is quite big, and has an internal and external section, as you can see from the video, Cathay kept pacing at the external section of the breeding center.
This is no ordinary tiger, this is the critically endangered South China Tiger, which has been considered to be extinct in the wild, around 60 of them are left in captivity, all in China.
This isn't a house, this is a private reserve in South Africa, and this is just the breeding center of Laohu Valley reserve. We have signed a contract with Chinese Government to bring these Tigers to South africa where we will breed them and allow them to regain their hunting instincts before sending them back to China for their eventual release.
Huloo(the cub) has been reintroduced to its siblings of the next litter, and they have successfully hunted.
I'm going to disagree and say that taking the cub away, although inhumane in most circumstances, was probably the correct thing to do, and considering the tigers are critically endangered, sometimes you need to do these things ;)
But one question, is it 100% sure that South China Tigers are still in the wild? Because I'm doing a school project and some sources say there's Extinct in the wild, and that there hasn't been a spotting since 1964 :S
Very knowledgeable on your part there, many things you stated are correct.
It isn't confirm that South China Tiger still roams China's wilderness, it has been about 40years since the last wild Chinese Tiger was spotted!
A census we funded, conducted by Ron Tilson several years ago came out with the conclusion that South China Tigers could be extinct in the wild, and even if they do exist, perhaps only around a handful are alive, and are scattered all around China.
Our Organisation, Save China's Tigers believes that the South China Tiger still exist, because there are still unconfirmed sightings, pug marks, claw mugs and even waste material which are too large to be that of other cat species such as the Chinese Leopard.
Due to the fact that it may possibly be extinct in the wild, hence we initiated this rewilding project, to allow these captive bred chinese tigers to regain their survival instincts. So that they can be released back into China's wild.
Yes, at such age in the wild, it should be with its mother. However because it was november when Cathay gave birth, and it was unseasonably cold in South Africa, hence it was neccessary to remove the cub to prevent it from dying due to exposure to the cold.
Cathay did show motherly instincsts by licking the cub, but the weather was just too cold.
Hello there, It was november when Cathay gave birth, and unseasonably cold in South Africa, but unfortunately un-seasonally cold weather necessitated the cub being removed to prevent it from dying from exposure.

The mother was confused by the cub because it was her first litter. Also she gave birth at a very cold time of year so they had to get it warm as soon as possible. The tiger is now 2 years old & an excellent hunter, he grew up with his two younger brothers so no need 2 feel sorry for him. They did the right thing.
You must understand that these South China Tigers, especially Cathay have been successfully rewilded and loves the natural environment. Like wild tigers, they have an instinctive fear of cage and enclosure. Luring it into the large breeding camp has already cause her a lot of stress. If we were to move her indoors, where she is stepping on concrete ground with no fresh air or dirt, she will be even more stressed, and this might cause danger to both Cathay and her cub during pregnancy.
It was UNUSUALLY cold, the weather caught everyone by surprise. Also there's less than one hundred of these tigers in existence so they didn't want to risk losing him.
SO CUTE! I have always wanted to hug a tiger. I am not any more of a tiger fan than many others, yet that seems like it would be great. I know its crazy, so don't tell me. I hope that the tigers are doing well and god bless you for helping them!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
-Why call CHINA tigers? not Asian tigers?
- If we call China tigers so the damn chink think all tigers in Asia belong to them no matter where the tiger at??..
-Just like the Ocean near Vietnam, in the maps say (SOUTH CHINA SEA) now the fucking chink said all 80% ocean belong to them (CHINA) .....the name is very important if little country live next to China should watch, CHINA alsways think anothet country's lands are belongs to them too. Oh! fucking Chink!
The reason it was seperated from its mother is that, after the birth, which took 12 hours, the four and a half year-old Cathay displayed her motherly instincts by cleaning and licking her cub, but unfortunately un-seasonally cold weather necessitated the cub being removed to prevent it from dying from exposure.
why breed them in captivity? Its the wild cats that is endangered! zoo's don't relocate and repopulate areas that are considered endangered! So what now ?!?1 more wild cat is entrapped in zoo like condition?! there a fine line between saving a species and allowing goverment to interveane, we are humans and choose the path of all species! i just hope that the goverment from where these cats are native will someday give a damn!

KITTEH
randomenvelope 1 year ago
This video makes me sad. The mother holds the baby in her mouth, pacing back and forth. She's looking for a nest, but she can't find nor build one for she is in a cold metal cage. Why did they tie off the baby's cord and put it on formula? Leave it alone, let the mother take care of the baby. Tigers have babies in nature all the time, and they survive without human interference. I've helped kittens be born, and I've only interefered when the mother cat "allowed" or "invited" me to do so.

To be honest...when I watched this video I was happy, sad and mad.... the reason why im happy is cause a cub is born and mother tiger gave birth to that cub.
sad reason is seperating the cub from its mother.
mad reason is not letting the mother and cub see eachother...and I was hurt..I really wanted those 2 meet and i want the mother to take care of her cub since its hers and why feed the cub juice?

@LilMissKittyKat7277 obviously these people are professionals; they're only being careful due to the small population of these tigers. if your child had a chance of dying, then i don't think you would have any objection to the doctor taking away your child so it will have a better chance of living during the first few hours of its life where there is a high chance of something to go wrong.

if the weather was too cold outside, why didn't you put cathay inside together with her cub. usually after animal giving birth if you separate the mother and her baby, they will be frustrated right?especialy the mother. i'm very interested to learn this kind of thing. i like to learn new things about animals.
greenlassiejr911 1 year ago
i agree that they should leave the cubs with the mother, and only intervine if the mother rejects them, but i think most likely the mother wasn't given the oppourtunity and they took it anyway, but i can't b sure cause it doesn't mention anything as 2 y the cub was taken. but i think maybe they should give the poort thing some company like another kitten or baby something if that cub doesn't have litter mates.

@WowzaDobe
The actions this zoological organization are taking in this video are actually necessary to save the subspecies and as a whole the species because of human activities toward the South China tiger subspecies. For much of the 1900s, besides being hunted for sport, its coat, etc. the Chinese communist govt actually encouraged the eradication of tigers, calling them "pests". There are an est. 50 max in wild so every captive individual born is important.

i agree with abo3isa! If you truly want to "save" the tigers, you need to allow them to take care of one another! Especially allowing the mother to care for her own newborn!!!!!! :'-(
What is with the orange liquid you're feeding him only 30 minutes after being born?! WHERE IS HIS MOTHER'S BREAST MILK?!?!

Hello there, the reason it was removed was that during the period when Cathay give birth, the weather was unseasonably cold. There was a risk where the Cub would die of exposure, and hence we did what we thought was the best decision at that time, to remove the cub. Cathay did show motherly instincsts by licking the cub, but the weather was just too cold. This is written in our video description. =)

SAVECHINASTIGERS 2 years ago
@lfc4lyfdalton it has to do with the fact that:
1,) Often times, animals in captivity, especially big cats, abandon the young and refuse to care for it. not saying that this is the cause.
2.) Human care insures that it stays healthy to ensure that it survives the first few weeks after it's birth, since babies can easily get sick. It also enables them to keep track of the animal's health so as they can monitor any changes.

@
Thank you for helping us explain. =)
It is true that we took a long time to decide, and at last the whole team especially the experts in our team felt that it was important to seperate the cub in case it dies of exposure and that Cathay was a first time mom.
Furthermore, South China Tigers are critically endangered, and every one of them is important, it is our responsibility to make sure it is alive. =)

Thanks for sharing this video! I noticed a lot of hate because of you guys stepping in and helping. If anybody watches many of the animal shows where an animal has given birth with caretakers the caretakers 99.9% step in to make sure the baby will have the best chance of living. In this case it makes even more sense- this type of tiger is very close to becoming extinct! A little help from humans can help save a species! Great work SCT!

It's funny how you say that we couldn't move her to a cage inside because it could stress her.
She's in a cage with just a view.
I'm sure you are lying but nah. I wont get into that buisness. Also it says on your account "SAVECHINATIGERS" How come you raise this pet in a home? So I can go buy a tiger and keep it at home and say I am saving it?
You do not save a animal if you do not let it be with its mother since it dosen't get any hunting experince etc..
mjaaa93 2 years ago
Hey there mjaaa93,
This is not a cage, this is our breeding center in Laohu valley reserve, South Africa. The breeding center is quite big, and has an internal and external section, as you can see from the video, Cathay kept pacing at the external section of the breeding center.
This is no ordinary tiger, this is the critically endangered South China Tiger, which has been considered to be extinct in the wild, around 60 of them are left in captivity, all in China.
SAVECHINASTIGERS 2 years ago
This isn't a house, this is a private reserve in South Africa, and this is just the breeding center of Laohu Valley reserve. We have signed a contract with Chinese Government to bring these Tigers to South africa where we will breed them and allow them to regain their hunting instincts before sending them back to China for their eventual release.
Huloo(the cub) has been reintroduced to its siblings of the next litter, and they have successfully hunted.
Please visit our website 4 more info.
SAVECHINASTIGERS 2 years ago
I'm going to disagree and say that taking the cub away, although inhumane in most circumstances, was probably the correct thing to do, and considering the tigers are critically endangered, sometimes you need to do these things ;)
But one question, is it 100% sure that South China Tigers are still in the wild? Because I'm doing a school project and some sources say there's Extinct in the wild, and that there hasn't been a spotting since 1964 :S
ArabianMay 2 years ago
Hello there ArabianMay,
Very knowledgeable on your part there, many things you stated are correct.
It isn't confirm that South China Tiger still roams China's wilderness, it has been about 40years since the last wild Chinese Tiger was spotted!
A census we funded, conducted by Ron Tilson several years ago came out with the conclusion that South China Tigers could be extinct in the wild, and even if they do exist, perhaps only around a handful are alive, and are scattered all around China.
SAVECHINASTIGERS 2 years ago
Our Organisation, Save China's Tigers believes that the South China Tiger still exist, because there are still unconfirmed sightings, pug marks, claw mugs and even waste material which are too large to be that of other cat species such as the Chinese Leopard.
Due to the fact that it may possibly be extinct in the wild, hence we initiated this rewilding project, to allow these captive bred chinese tigers to regain their survival instincts. So that they can be released back into China's wild.

CatgrlFunkyChick101 2 years ago
Hey there,
Yes, at such age in the wild, it should be with its mother. However because it was november when Cathay gave birth, and it was unseasonably cold in South Africa, hence it was neccessary to remove the cub to prevent it from dying due to exposure to the cold.
Cathay did show motherly instincsts by licking the cub, but the weather was just too cold.

hillsong1004 2 years ago
what reason?
stylishnene 2 years ago
The mother was confused by the cub because it was her first litter. Also she gave birth at a very cold time of year so they had to get it warm as soon as possible. The tiger is now 2 years old & an excellent hunter, he grew up with his two younger brothers so no need 2 feel sorry for him. They did the right thing.

Why didn't they just put her in a warmer enclosure late in the pregnancy, then?
h2oteen 2 years ago
You must understand that these South China Tigers, especially Cathay have been successfully rewilded and loves the natural environment. Like wild tigers, they have an instinctive fear of cage and enclosure. Luring it into the large breeding camp has already cause her a lot of stress. If we were to move her indoors, where she is stepping on concrete ground with no fresh air or dirt, she will be even more stressed, and this might cause danger to both Cathay and her cub during pregnancy.

It was UNUSUALLY cold, the weather caught everyone by surprise. Also there's less than one hundred of these tigers in existence so they didn't want to risk losing him.

The reason it was seperated from its mother is that, after the birth, which took 12 hours, the four and a half year-old Cathay displayed her motherly instincts by cleaning and licking her cub, but unfortunately un-seasonally cold weather necessitated the cub being removed to prevent it from dying from exposure.
