On May 27, the Indianapolis Zoo’s 7-year-old Amur tiger, Zoya, gave birth to this adorable trio of cubs.
. Two of the cubs are male and one is female. The zoo reports the cubs are doing well and their mom is in good health.
Zoo representatives said when Zoya delivered baby number one, she was tending to the cub but still showed signs of labor. Veterinary staff then delivered the two other cubs by cesarean section. The cubs weighed in at around 2 pounds each.The zoo also noted that the cubs’ birth is “extremely important” as there are currently fewer than 100 Amur tigers in zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Currently, the zoo’s animal care team is taking care of the cubs and the trio is expected to be introduced to the public in mid-September at 16 weeks old.Copyright 2022 Gray Media Group, Inc. All rights reserved.
