A symbol of strength and tenderness, the tigress protects and nurtures her cubs from the moment they are born. Lying beside them, she nurses them and ensures their safety, keeping them safe from predators and danger. For several weeks, the tiger cubs are entirely dependent on their mother before they can begin to explore their environment.

The tigress plays a vital role in their learning process: she gradually teaches them how to hunt and recognize the scents and sounds of the forest. Surprisingly, tiger cubs are born blind and only open their eyes after about ten days, remaining completely vulnerable during this time.

This Papo figurine realistically and gently depicts a lying tigress nursing her baby: detailed tabby fur, a restful posture, and a moving maternal bond. A unique piece to complete a collection of wild animals, invent tender stories, or educate children about the lives of endangered big cats.
