Tiger years to human years
Do you want to convert tiger years to human years? There's no straigtforward formula to do it, but we've aligned tiger and human life stages so to give you a better understanding of a tiger's age.
As tigers have a shorter lifespan, they develop much quicker. For example, tiger cubs start walking at the age of 3-4 weeks. And they reach sexual maturity at the age of 3-5 years old and can start mating.
So it's clear that one tiger year is way more than one human year.
