Predator parenting in zoos

[Cody Raney]

With non-social predators, like Bears and Big Cats (aside from Lions), do the fathers have to be separated from their own cubs?

Generally yes, but there are individual expectations. One that I know has been done in several zoos is allowing male tigers to be on display with their cubs, as they are more likely to be tolerant and even sometimes affectionate towards their cubs.
