These six adorable little newborn tiger cubs were practicing their roars for the first time after coming into the world earlier this week. A Siberian tigress named Frida gave birth to four tiger cubs at Crimea Taigan Wild Animal Park but also ‘adopted’ two others that were rejected by their own mother. It's highly unusual for a tiger mom to adopt any additional cubs after giving birth to her own, and zoo staff are ecstatic about Frida's big heart.
It was a rare moment for an endangered species when Yasha, a Siberian Tiger, met his beautiful new cubs for the first time at the Tierpark Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg, Germany last week. Cubs Anushka, Dasha, Mischka and Vitali were born on June 15, 2017 - the first litter born at the zoo in 15 years. Their mother, Maruschka, was born at the Novosibirsk zoo in Siberia in 2011 and met the cubs' father Yasha at Hagenbeck.
Vets were hand-feeding the tiny Amur leopard baby at the Yalta Zoo, as the cub is still too young to open its eyes or even walk on four legs. Only 57 Amur leopards, which are listed as "Critically Endangered," are believed to live in the wild as of 2015. Despite the fact that Amur leopard numbers have roughly doubled since 2007, they are still the species of large felines most vulnerable to extinction.
A magic moment was captured on film in a riverbank near the Russian city of Volgodonsk last weekend as a man and his tiger were relaxing together in the water. Mikhail Zaratsky was enjoying the shallows with a full-grown tiger named Shahi on a leash when he decided that the moment was right and leaned in for a daring kiss with the huge predator. Zaratsky inched closer to the tiger before planting Shahi with a kiss as the sun went down over the water.
Beachgoers visiting the sea at the Russian Far East resort city of Nakhodka paused from their siwmming routine as a mature Siberian tigress named Magda strolled along the sand with her trainer over the weekend. Much to the surprise of vacationers, the friendly tigress, held loosely by a leash, stopped to pause for photos. The stunt was actually part of a promotional campaign for a local circus called Demidov.
