Mohan was bred to a normal tigress with the first three litters producing all normal cubs. Mohan was then bred with one of his normal daughters and produced a litter of four white cubs in 1958. In 1960, a white tigress named Mohini was presented to President Eisenhower by the Maharaja and was exhibited at the national zoo. All of the known white tigers in the world are believed to be descendants of Mohan. A solitary cat, the tiger will occasionally hunt with its mate usually during a few weeks in winter or spring when mating takes place.
Territories are marckd off with urine and proclaimed with roars.
Most are nomadic so new territories are established. Tigers stalk their prey using its natural camouflage to approach within a few yards before making a final rush. Hunting takes place at dusk or at night. The cubs are born blind and helpless and are weaned after 3-6 months. They are able to kill for themselves at 11 months old, but remain with their mother until about 2 years of age.
