Jillian has taken quickly to motherhood, with wildlife care specialists closely monitoring her and her cub as they bond.
This birth is part of the AZA Sumatran Tiger Species Survival Plan (SSP) to maintain genetic diversity among the species, with only 400 to 600 Sumatran tigers left in the wild.
Guests may soon have the opportunity to witness the cub exploring a specially designed maternity habitat when it reaches 10 to 12 weeks of age.
The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance continues its commitment to global conservation through efforts like this, promoting the protection of endangered species and their habitats.
