Three Sumatran tiger cubs have undergone their first health checks at Attica Zoological Park near Athens, receiving vaccinations and microchips for identification. Born in July, the two-month-old cubs were briefly separated from their mother for the examination.
Veterinary staff checked the cubs' health, weighed them and gave each a vaccine before returning them to their enclosure. The procedure was carried out quickly to limit stress, as the young tigers are not accustomed to being handled by people.
