Footage courtesy of Sea World on Australia's Gold Cost from April 27 shows the adorable moments that 16-year-old mother bear Liya cuddled up to her newborn polar bear cub twins. The infant cubs, two males called Hudson and Nelson, are still very fragile and are suckling from their mum inside the maternity den to gain strength. The little tykes weigh just over one pound and are about 5 inches long. However, they will grow to be among the largest land animals in the world. Adult male polar bears can weigh over 1,500 pounds and reach nearly 10 feet in length.
This trio of adorable newborn tiger cub triplets were filmed for the first time on Tuesday after being born at the Taigan Safari Park in Crimea. The Amur tiger cubs are mother Frosi’s first offspring, and she kept a protective eye on them as visitors were allowed to see them for the first time. According to her keeper, Frosi won’t even let the cubs’ father Felix come near them yet, and is feeding them herself – which is unusual for animals kept in captivity. Over the next two weeks, the cubs will begin to open their eyes and will start to get comfortable with seeing members of the public. 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 hunting. Russia became the first country in the world to grant the tiger full protection. There were only about 400 Amur tigers in the wild when a census was taken in 2005, and researchers found that the population was declining. However, after a decade of intense conservation efforts, there are now over 550 adult Amur tigers in the wild and the numbers appear to be growing. The Amur tiger has been pushed back from the brink of extinction, for now, but careful conservation efforts must continue to protect this majestic species.
Twin panda cubs Fu Feng and Fu Ban went on their first walk outside of their indoor enclosure at Vienna's Schoenbrunn Zoo on Tuesday and made their first appearance to the adoring public. The young pandas are almost seven months old, but despite their impressive climbing skills, the twin cubs were not allowed out into the open until now. A large number of journalists and visitors greeted the animals on their outing, making sure that their first adventure outside would be memorable. Their mother Yang Yang watched on closely as her cubs attempted to climb to the highest points of the outdoor enclosure. After the three-hour walkabout, the zoo keepers picked Fu Feng and Fu Ban up and brought them back inside their compound. The baby pandas will get some much needed rest before exploring their compound once more.
