A Sumatran tiger cub took its first tentative steps outside its enclosure at London Zoo.
The scene was filmed at ZSL London Zoo, the world's oldest scientific zoo, in Regent’s Park, and the footage was shared on social media on Jan. 13 with the message: “Cute Alert! Brand-new footage from our zookeepers shows our adorable month-old tiger cub taking it's very first wibbly-wobbly steps outside with proud mom Gaysha looking on...”
The zoo added: “Visitors may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of our new arrival.”
The Red List of Threatened Species, compiled by the International Union for Conservation of Nature categorizes Sumatran tigers as critically endangered.
“The cub has so far mostly stayed tucked up with Gaysha in their cozy behind-the-scenes cubbing den. But with such lovely weather yesterday, it’s clear she decided it was time for her little one to take its first steps in the outside world,” said London Zoo tiger keeper Kathryn Sanders.
