Bangkok, Jul 29 (EFE/EPA).- Thailand has doubled its population of wild tigers in the last seven years, from 60 to 80 in 2013 to 160 specimens of this endangered species in 2020, government sources said Wednesday, on Global Tiger Day.Thailand's Deputy Permanent Secretary of Natural Resources and Environment, Pongboon Pongthong, said in a statement that the increase in the population of these cats is "thanks to the hard work of forest rangers, research teams from relevant organizations and stakeholders’ dedication to the conservation of tigers."(Camera: DIEGO AZUBEL)FOOTAGE SHOWS GLOBAL TIGER DAY CELEBRATIONS IN BANGKOK, THAILAND.

Three newly-born Amur tiger cub triplets were seen playing with their parents at their new home in Belogorsk’s Taigan Safari Park on Monday, after the sanctuary welcomed the cuddly cats into this world last week. The newborn triplets represent a major boost to the population as there are only about 500 Amur tigers left in the wild, mostly in Russia's Far East provinces. Amur tigers were once found throughout the Russian Far East, northern China and the Korean peninsula, but were driven to the brink of extinction by the 1940s as a result of hunting. However, Russia granted the tiger full protection soon afterwards and numbers have risen.
This adorable Amur tiger cub has made an unlikely new, and much smaller friend. The cub, named 'Sherkhan' after the tiger in the jungle book, played with his new friend, a ferret named 'Rokki', much to the amazement of his caretaker. The amusing pair built on their friendship in Shkotovo, in Russia's Far East, where Sherkhan is being raised. Making friends with other animals apparently runs in the family. Sherkhan is the son of a very famous tiger who hit global headlines after he made friends with a goat, 'Timur,' at the Primorski Safari Park in November 2015.
Over 800 species from all around the world, from the mighty tiger down to tiny meerkats, had their measurements taken for London Zoo’s annual weigh-in.
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.
