Overview
- The cub was born on January 2 to Mayang, 15, and Jae Jae, 17, marking the pair’s third offspring after litters in 2022 and 2024.
- Mother and newborn are healthy and will stay in the Wurfhöhle for several weeks, which may limit public viewing in the Alfred-Brehm-Haus.
- The park released a first video showing the cub beside its mother and said keepers are keeping distance to avoid disturbance.
- Zoo director Andreas Knieriem praised both parents as attentive and said their care supports the young tiger’s development.
- The birth supports the conservation breeding program for this endangered subspecies, estimated at roughly 400–600 in the wild, while visitors can see older brothers Ede and Kuno in the opposite enclosure.
