THE three endangered Amur tiger cubs born at Highland Wildlife Park earlier this year have received their first health check.
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland revealed that the trio is made up of two girls and a boy (below).
Keepers said the nine-week check showed the cubs, which are expected to be named soon, are doing well. They will remain in an off-show cubbing den with mum Dominika for now.
Visitors to the Highland Wildlife Park are still able to see tiger dad Botzman in the outdoor viewing area.
People planning to visit Highland Wildlife Park are advised they must book tickets in advance here in order to limit numbers due to Covid-19 measures.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
