Critically endangered Sumatran tiger cubs have first health check at London Zoo

ZSL London Zoo’s trio of tiger cubs have had their first visit from veterinarians, who were finally able to confirm the sexes of the cats.

Each cub had a thorough nose-to-tail examination, checking their eyes, teeth, heart and overall physical health as well as their weight.

All three were given a clean bill of health, and their information was added to the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS), a database shared with zoos all over the world that helps zookeepers and conservationists to compare important information on thousands of endangered species.
