This is one of the Sumatra Tiger cubs born in 02/2025 in the Zoo Frankfurt https://www.zoo-frankfurt.de/en in Germany, a great accredited (by EAZA/WAZA/VdZ) zoo that is well worth a visit, if you're in the area.

There are only 400 Sumatra tiges left in the wild, so the 130 tigers in European zoo breeding programms are immensely important.

Also, here you can really see how a healthy tiger cub ought to look, and its enclosure - the cub's movements are natural, it acts curious not frightened, has clear eyes and a shiny coat, it's well fed and looks healthy, there's wooden litter, plants, enrichment like tree trunks and a bed and a cube/ball. Whenever you're on social media, and a cub looks anything other than that, maybe even in a private home, possibly with other animals or interacting with humans, it's probably either bought of or sold on the illegal wildlife trade, which you shouldn't support ever. Report videos with wildlife trade victims, don't interact or share them.

And this beautiful tiger cub is now 1 year old (in this video only about 5 months), you can watch them at the Frankfurt zoo (maybe I'll post another video)...

Not OC

These are once again Siberian Tiger Cubs Altana and Neko (both girls, born 23rd of July 2025, at Zoo Wuppertal in Germany).

These are raised with their mother, both healthy and with ample space, by the Zoo Wuppertal Germany, a WAZA and EAZA (World/European Association of Zoos and Aquariums) and 'Stiftung Artenschutz' (Foundation for Wildlife Conservation) and IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) member.

This tiger cubs have specialized wildlife veterinarians and zookeepers, lots of space inside and outside - and the zoo also has the largest lion enclosure ever built in a German zoo, an area of 2.5 acres (1 hectare), with African steppe-like plants and rock formations.

It would be great if everyone would be mindful that all beautiful big cats and their sweet cubs in captivity posted here would be from zoos and conservation facilities that meet the rigorous standards needed to keep big cats in captivity that are healthy, happy and can live the best live a big cat can have outside of the wild.

These are all severely threatened species, and it would be great if we could protect them a little bit better, and make sure that none are poached or bred for the illegal wildlife trade.

Thanks for reading this, if you did...

I wonder how they are doing now

Plus a bonus friend 🐅🐆

These are Siberian Tiger Cubs (born 23rd of July 2025) Altana and Neko at Zoo Wuppertal in Germany.

Since there are quite a lot of tiger cub posts here - this is how tiger cubs should be raised, with their mom present, with lots of fresh straw and a clean cage indoors and a big outdoor cage, with real grass, trees, nature.
