A rare Sumatran tiger cub has been born less than two hours away from Nottingham. Keepers at West Midlands Safari Park have released CCTV footage of a tiny cub being born on Tuesday, July 4 at around 2:30am.
Sumatran tigers are listed as critically endangered, and there are less than 400 individuals remaining in the wild, which makes this birth an important part of protecting their species from extinction.Head Keeper of Carnivores, Chris Hodgkins, said, “We are delighted to announce that we have welcomed a new addition at Tiger Tropics.
"They settled in really well and developed astrong bond quickly, so this really is a case of new house, new baby!” He added: "Sumatran tigers are critically endangered – the most threatened an animal can be. The Sumatran tigers at the Safari Park are part of an EEP , which is a collaborative breeding programme between European zoos, aiming to conserve endangered species. This new cub is the third baby by Dourga, who had two other cubs at her previous home at Fota Wildlife Park.
