From lion cubs joining a Gaza family, to a newborn hippo and doggie daycare trend, here's a look at this week's animal roundup. Jillian Kitchener reports.
Four adorable white lion cubs, two boys and two girls, were born at the Taigan Safari Park in the Crimean town of Belogorsk on Thursday. By a cute coincidence, the rare cubs, which are named Tsar, Director, Mathilda and Nyasha-Nevsmenasha, were born on World Lion Day, which takes place on August 10. White lions are critically endangered, with estimates saying there may be as few as 300 in the world.
These two adorable newborn baby bear cub brothers were found lying in a box next to a garbage can in Moscow on Friday. The brother bears were urgently fed with whatever was on hand, oatmeal for human babies, and given a quick medical check over before being transfered to a special center. The newborns were taken for rehabilitation to the International Fund for Animal Welfare Centre (IFAW) for orphan bears in the Tver region and maybe be released to the wild in late summer.
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.
