The Taiping Municipal Spokesperson said that the cubs will be released for two hours every day in their enclosure with their mother, Baby.
“They are available for viewing from 9 am to 11 am every day,” she told the Malay Mail.
The release will serve as an early introduction for Baby and her cubs, that are now six months old, to let them adapt to the surrounding, “Once they show good response, the zoo will release them for longer hours.”
WAH! SERONOKNYA..... Baby, Puntum, Teja dan Bayu jalani latihan dua jam sehari mulai hari ini sehingga hari Ahad ini, mulai jam 9.00 pagi sehingga 11.00 pagi. Latihan tersebut adalah untuk membiasakan kehadiran mereka di pameran yang terbuka, agar mereka tidak merasa asing dan takut. Berbanding jika berada dalam kandang yang lebih selamat dan jauh dari bahaya, anak-anak harimau mungkin terdedah dengan berbagai kemungkinan bahaya ketika berada di luar kandang, lebih-lebih di kawasan pameran yang luas, terbuka dan mempunyai kolam yang agak dalam. Mereka perlu lebih berhati-hati dan perlu sentiasa mengikuti ibu mereka, Baby yang kelihatan teruja membawa mereka menerokai 'dunia' baru ini. Jom kita saksikan aksi mereka di Zoo Taiping.

These tiger cubs mark the fourth birth of Malayan tigers at the zoo since 2009.
They’re so cute! We can’t wait to see the babies once the pandemic eases!
