Update! Tiger Cub Belly Rubs and Bottle Feeding
September 28, 2012
Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium's endangered Sumatran Tiger
Cub that you may have first read about on ZooBorns is growing by leaps
and bounds! Born on August 22, he's now over 10 pounds (4.53 kg) at five weeks old.
The Sumatran Tiger is native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra where only an estimated 300 remain in the wild. This little guy can be seen daily on exhibit exploring and playing daily in the zoo’s Cub Den. If you want to help name him, there's only one week left in which to vote, so make sure to pick one of the six names on the list today at www.surveymonkey.com/s/cubname.
