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.
Footage provided courtesy of the Bronx Zoo shows the adorable first moments of a new female baby snow leopard cub playing with her mom on Thursday. The new cub, who is unnamed as of yet, was jumping all over her mom and playing with her tail as she was unveiled to the public for the first time. Her grandpa is the famous snow leopard called Leo, who was sent to the US in 2006 as part of a partnership program between the Wildlife Conservation Society and the governments of the USA and Pakistan.
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.
