Interestingly, the tiger cub seemed to "dominate" over its canine friend. He was smaller than the wolf but he would grow up to a majestic animal.
“At the moment the tigers will have a size and weight disadvantage to their canine friends. However, as I am sure you will have guessed, even though the wolves are bigger at three months, after another five months it will be the tigers who will be able to push the wolves around,”. said Doc Bhagavan, the founder of TIGERS.

When the young animals were one year old, they had to be separated. The tiger cub weighed around 250lb compared to the wolf at 180lb then. Their size difference and species difference are apparent.
Although the pair no longer stays with each other, they had joyful childhood together. This is precious, right?
