No...that female is Zara, Charger is her male sub adult cub seen here with her latest litter of cubs.
An amazing factoid of the natural world, Charger is also the father of the latest litter...

Yes...and this is when there is a male called Cut ear who is the resident adult male for the area. Bera is a strange an unique ecosystem that way...Charger is now 2.5 yrs old and should have left Zara. But he's still around with the new family. Looking at the socialization, this is the 1st time I've encountered or heard of the father hanging around with the mother and cubs as they are known to be solitary by nature. Tiger behavior was also thought to be solitary till numerous cases have recorded of males socializing with the female and cubs and playing a supportive role. I wonder if this is so due to insufficient prey base in the area which makes them stay together.
