WATCH: A catch up on how Manor Wildlife Park’s newly born Sumatran tiger cub Zaza is getting along
It's a girl!! The sex of Manor Wildlife Park’s newly born Sumatran tiger cub - Zaza has been confirmed after her first check up this week.
The park situated on the outskirts of Tenby in the village of St Florence was thrilled to announce the birth of Zaza earlier this month, marking a momentous occasion as the first tiger cub to be born in a zoo in Wales.
Born on May 25th, Zaza is a symbol of hope and a critical addition to the global effort to conserve this critically endangered species.
Manor Park’s head keeper Kim Wilkins confirmed: “Today we’ve done Zaza’s 8 week health check, and we found out that Zaza is in fact a little girl.
“She has been microchipped, vaccinated, weighd and measure and she’s doing fantastically well.
“She’s had an overall health check; the vets are really really happy with how she’s doing.
“So Terima has been a fantastic mum, and clearly done a wonderful job,” she added.
The birth of Zaza represents a significant milestone not only for Manor Wildlife Park but also for wildlife conservation in Wales.
The Sumatran tiger, one of the world's most endangered tiger subspecies, faces severe threats from habitat loss and poaching.
Zaza's arrival brings renewed focus to the importance of protecting these majestic creatures and their natural habitats.
Visitors to Manor Wildlife Park will now have the opportunity to see Zaza as she begins to venture out of her den and explore her surroundings.
The cub will be viewable to the public during regular park hours, allowing visitors to witness this historic moment and learn more about the park’s ongoing conservation efforts to protect Sumatran tigers.
