Two Amur tiger cubs made their public debut at Cologne Zoo in Germany, marking a significant milestone in the conservation efforts for these rare big cats. The cubs, a female named Tochka and a male named Timur, were born in mid-April and currently weigh around 13 kilos each. Accompanied by their 13-year-old mother, Katinka, the pair excitedly explored their enclosure during their first outing.
Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, are native to the far east of Russia and northeastern China and are classified as endangered species. The birth of these cubs is a cause for celebration as it contributes to the preservation of this highly threatened species.
