A rare tiger born was born at the San Francisco zoo. It is a highly endangered species, the Sumatran tiger. The tiger gave birth to a small but healthy cub. The two seem to be doing just fine.Zookeepers are watching the baby through web cam so the mother and cub can bond. They don't want to bring much human contact towards the two.
The mother , Leanne, is one of only an estimated 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild. This made the rare tiger born news more important for this endangered species. The young cub is still unnamed because they will not check until it is at least 2 weeks old. This birth marks the first Sumatran tiger born in the U.S. since 2008
This is such great news! everybody loves a happy ending. Now that they know the cub is healthy and so is mom, things will be going good for the San Francisco Zoo. I would personally love to travel to the zoo just to see these amazing rare creatures.
