Three Sumatran tiger cubs have been born at a zoo near Athens, offering hope for one of the world’s most endangered tiger species. The two-month-old cubs received microchips and vaccinations as part of global conservation efforts. With only around 400 Sumatran tigers believed to remain in the wild, zoos are working to preserve the species.
Three Sumatran tiger cubs, belonging to the world's most endangered tiger species, have been born at a zoo near Athens, offering hope for the survival of a predator whose numbers in the wild have dwindled dramatically.
The two-month-old cubs received identification microchips and their first vaccinations on Tuesday as part of international efforts to maintain a backup population of the critically endangered species.
Only about 400 remain in wild
Found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, the Sumatran tiger is classified as critically endangered by the United Nations and conservation groups. As few as 400 are believed to survive in the wild, largely because of extensive forest clearing.
