Adorable White Bengal Tiger Cubs Find Joy in Special Kindergarten at Taiyuan Zoo
Prepare to be enchanted by the heart-melting scenes unfolding in the heart of China, where a zoo has established a nursery fit for the most precious inhabitants—baby White Bengal Tigers. Born this year and categorized into different ‘classes’ based on age, these rare cubs are stealing hearts as they frolic with both their keepers and each other.
The White Bengal Tiger, a product of a genetic anomaly, is an incredibly rare sight in the wild. The unique coat color is a result of both parents carrying the rare gene, occurring naturally only once per 10,000 births. These cubs, all artificially reproduced, have found a haven in the newly formed nursery within the Taiyuan Zoo, nestled in northern China’s Shanxi Province.
In an endearing video released on November 10, the cubs can be seen playfully interacting with their human caretakers, showcasing the bond forged within the nursery’s walls. With the number of newborn white tiger cubs soaring at Taiyuan Zoo this year and many mothers lacking parenting experience, a dedicated team was established to raise the cubs in a designated area, creating an environment tailored to their needs.
Nursing a white tiger cub demands time and energy, as revealed by a zookeeper. The newborns require feeding up to eight times a day in their first two weeks of life. Despite the challenges, the majority of these cubs measure 70 to 80 centimeters (27 to 31 inches) in length and weigh around 20 kilograms (44 pounds). Their adorable antics and endearing features are set to captivate the public soon, as they prepare to make their debut outside the nursery.
The enchantment of these White Bengal Tiger cubs extends beyond Taiyuan Zoo, with two other Chinese zoos—Xinpu Park in Lianyungang and Jinan Wildlife Park—celebrating the births of White Bengal Tiger cubs this year. These majestic creatures, once a rarity in the wild, continue to thrive under the care of dedicated teams, bringing joy and wonder to all who encounter them
