- Sumatran Tiger Cub Update: Supplemental Feeding
- Description
- Great Cats keepers at the Smithsonian's National Zoo recently celebrated the birth of a Sumatran tiger cub July 11. Animal care staff hope that any mammal born at the Zoo receives the care required from mom. Sometimes, however, that is not the case, and keepers must step in to assist. While the now 6-week-old male cub is still learning how to be a tiger from his 8-year-old mother Damai, since Aug. 2, the Great Cats team have been providing support through supplemental feeding.
