Overview
- Born on January 2, the cub is the offspring of Mayang, 15, and Jae Jae, 17, and both mother and newborn are reported healthy.
- The park shared a brief Instagram video showing the cub tucked under straw beside its mother, with public viewing restricted for the coming weeks.
- It is the pair’s third offspring after daughters Luise and Lotte in 2022 and twins Ede and Kuno in February 2024.
- Keepers had observed mating about 100 days earlier and anticipated a pregnancy after Mayang’s cycle paused, according to the tiger curator.
- The birth is described by the park as a boost for coordinated conservation efforts, with only an estimated 400 to 600 Sumatran tigers remaining in the wild, while Ede and Kuno have been housed separately since September 2025.
