Rare Tiger Born At National Zoo ‘Doing Great’
“A rare Sumatran tiger has been born at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington...
The zoo said it is not yet sure of the cub’s sex. ‘Keepers watched the birth via a closed-circuit camera & continue to closely monitor the cub, which appears to be nursing, moving, & behaving normally,’ the zoo said.
...birth was the second for the 8 year old mother, Damai, but the first via the zoo’s 13 year old male, Sparky.
'This is such an exciting time for us, not only because we have a cub who appears to be doing great, but also because this animal’s genes are extremely valuable to the North American population,’ Craig Saffoe, curator of the Great Cats habitat said.”
