The Javan tiger, also known as the sunda tiger, reproduces through sexual reproduction involving oocyte fertilization without generation changes; gestation lasts 3 months and 2 weeks, resulting in 2 to 4 young born live on land, not hatching from eggs or larvae. The female gives birth to 2 to 4 cubs after a 100-day pregnancy, and she raises them alone, teaching them how to hunt. A litter has 2 to 4 individuals, and the young reach maturity from 3 to 5 years of age. The species inhabits and develops on land, outside of bodies of water, with nests located directly on the surface of the ground, where eggs or young develop. The nest is situated directly on the surface of the ground on land, and only the mother exhibits parental care. The interval between reproduction is from 2 to 3 years.
