Point Defiance Zoo Shows Off 3 Week Old Tiger Taken From His Mom

Byvoice4animals

A rare tiger cub made his public debut today at Point Defiance Zoo.

 

The three-week old Sumatran tiger weighs just 8 pounds.

 

He had to be taken away from his mom, because she wasn’t producing enough milk, and the cub was losing weight.

 

Zookeepers started bottle feeding the little guy, and now he’s thriving.

 

The Sumatran tiger is critically endangered — only 300 remain in the wild and about 75 are in North American zoos.
