Rare Sumatran Tiger born at Flamingo Land

Flamingo Land have announced their new arrival in the form of a rare Sumatran Tiger Cub.

It was born on Friday at 6:01PM at the Flamingo Land Resort

The new arrival comes after a culmination of seven years of work by the Flamingo Land animal carers in their attempts to protect the critically endangered species.

With as little as three-hundred Sumatran Tigers left in the wild and Flamingo Land has increased the world population levels of this magnificent species by 1.3%.

Three years ago the same breeding pair Bawa and Surya produced triplets which have now gone onto other collections to start their own families.

Currently Mum and Baby can be viewed via live direct link to the special cubbing den at the tiger exhibit. As yet the sex of the Cub remains unknown.
