How do Sumatran tigers find their mate?

Sumatran tigers find their mates primarily through scent marking and vocalizations. Males use their scent markings to establish territory and attract females in estrus, while females signal their receptiveness through specific calls. During the mating season, these interactions help facilitate encounters between potential mates. Once a female is receptive, the male approaches her, and they engage in a courtship that can last several days before mating.
