The biggest challenge for a mother is to feed her cubs. Usually only one survives, but this tigress has managed to raise and take care of all four. Only tigers above the age of 1.5 years are counted in the population as the cubs below that have a survival rate of only 40-50%. The total number of tigers in the reserve stood at 190 in 2014.

Corbett National Park was established on 8 August 1936 and it is the oldest national park in India
