These Sumatran tiger cubs are particularly special because they are the offspring of Diana and Dumai, making them the first cubs of their species born at the Safari Park's Tull Family Tiger Trail habitat in seven years. Their birth resulted from a breeding recommendation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Sumatran Tiger Species Survival Plan, which aims to ensure genetic diversity and healthy populations of endangered wildlife.
