Sumatran tiger cubs born in Queensland : "At 7.45am (AEST) Saturday, four-year-old female Sumatran tiger Soraya began giving birth to two cubs in the Dreamworld tiger facility at the Gold Coast, and all three are said to be doing well."
They are a critically endangered species and only 400 remain in the wild. I am so glad we have provided a safe environment and that we now have some new cubs. I hope also that we will provide real places for these animals to live so that they don't just get reared in sanctuaries. It's pretty sad we destroy their habitat. Soraya came to us from the Berlin Zoo which also has a good record of keeping species viable. The biggest step we could make is restablishing natural homes for them. I hope we see the cubs soon.
