Their birth was a guarded secret at first due to fears they may not survive
In this photo released by ZOO Wroclaw, Four Sumatran tiger cubs are seen at the Wroclaw zoo, which is celebrating the birth of the critically endangered predators, in Wrocław, Poland, Thursday Oct. 17, 2024. A Polish zoo is celebrating the arrival of four Sumatran tiger cubs, announcing their birth Friday after keeping it a closely-guarded secret for weeks due to fears they may not survive.
Officials at the Wrocław Zoo in the southwestern Polish city of Wroclaw said the tigers — a critically endangered species whose numbers have dwindled to around 400 in the wild — were born on July 22. But the zoo chose not to go public with the news until they could grow a bit, gain some strength and be vaccinated, zoo spokesperson Weronika Łysek said.
It is not yet clear where the four cubs will end up going, and they still have growing to do before that is decided, Łysek said. They also haven't been named yet, and the zoo is considering letting the zoo's visitors and fans take part in their naming. Sumatran tigers — the most critically endangered tiger subspecies — are under increasing pressure due to
and a shrinking jungle habitat. There are only about 400 of them left in the wild, according to the Wrocław Zoo, which also has a foundation that works to support their protection.
