<h5>There’s a school for tigers!?</h5><p>Did you know baby tigers (called cubs) can now go to school? Their school is different from ours. Here, they learn how to live in the wild.</p><p>These are orphaned cubs rescued by officials. This training is part of a rewilding program at Kanha Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh.</p><h5>How are tiger cubs rewilded?</h5><p>It is a process in which orphaned tiger cubs learn to survive on their own in large enclosures.</p><p>There is very little human contact, which allows the cubs to develop their natural instincts and skills to live freely in the jungle.</p><p>After training, the tigers are set free in wildlife sanctuaries.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><figure> <video width="100%" controls=""> <source src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/a-school-for-tiger-cubs%2FCub%201.mp4?alt=media&amp;token=77fbccf8-00b3-46ab-9b82-4c79f6711087" type="video/mp4"> </video> <figcaption>A tiger cub during the rewilding programme.

If they lose their mothers, they might not learn these skills, which is dangerous for them. So, it’s essential to train them.</p><p>Rewilding also helps to increase the tiger population. They can grow up and have cute little tiger babies in the jungle.</p><h5>The syllabus of tiger cubs!</h5><div class="raw-html-embed"><figure> <video width="100%" controls=""> <source src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/a-school-for-tiger-cubs%2FCub%203.mp4?alt=media&amp;token=d0dc2056-aede-4ef2-ad18-899330b1eefe" type="video/mp4"> </video> <figcaption>A tiger cub is being released.
