Announcement today from the Minnesota Zoo 🥰

We're soo excited to share that two Amur tiger cubs were born on May 23rd! Both cubs – one male and one female – have been successfully bonding in a behind-the-scenes habitat with their mother, Sundari. (Dari for short 🥰) and are doing well. Our expert Animal Care and Health teams will continue to closely monitor mom and cubs over the next several weeks.

Tigers' stripes are on their skin, not just their fur - but how often do you get to see it?!

This is the female Amur tiger at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium (I can't find her name online, somehow). A sign on the exhibit noted she had recently had medical care and part of her belly had been shaved in the process. A beautiful lady, and those stripes on her skin are just stunning.

Introducing an updated illustrated poster featuring all the tigers of the world! While it was once believed that there were nine subspecies of tigers, recent scientific research has shown that there are actually only two: those that live on the continent and those that reside on islands. However, within these two subspecies, there are various populations of tigers that were previously classified as distinct subspecies. Creating this poster was a labor of love that required a significant amount of time and effort. Some of the animals featured on the poster were particularly challenging to illustrate due to their extinction, which meant there was limited photographic evidence available to use as a reference. I am thrilled with the final product and hope that others will appreciate the attention to detail and care that went into each illustration.

Recently learned that it apparently was a folklore belief in Korea that tigers and leopards were the same species and that 1/3 of a tigress' cubs became a leopard, and thats hella cute

Animal of the Day!

Caspian Tiger (Panthera tigris virgata)

(Photo from Berlin Zoological Garden)

Extinction Date- 2003

Habitat- Middle East; Central Asia

Size (Weight/Length)- 230 kg; 3 m

Diet- Large mammals

Cool Facts- Caspian tigers were the second largest subspecies of tiger. They were made for rocky or forested steps by the Caspian Sea. These tigers were thought to follow migratory herds of deer or pigs. The downfall of the Caspian tiger began when Russia colonized Turkey. Tigers were shot out of fear, diseases swept through the population, and their natural habitat was converted into cotton plantations. The last wild Caspian tiger was captured and killed in 1997. Conservation efforts were attempted, but outside of legal protections little was done to restore their habitat or promote breeding attempts. Today, 6 tiger subspecies remain and all are endangered. Luckily, zoos are working to create captive breeding programs and national parks protect these magnificent creatures.

Rating- 12/10 (Most closely related to the Amur tiger.)
