Mother Binjai - Sumatran Tiger

Cannot help myself - I need to post a few more photos of our very young Sumatran tiger cubs and Binjai, the most beautiful tiger!

At this stage, all three cubs were inseparable and with their mother Binjai at all times.

Looking back we can see how feisty Isha was, even then. The cubs were quite small, and had very shaggy fur coats of babyhood.

 

Being mid-winter in southern Australia - the strength of the sun was pretty weak, and the tiger enclosure is covered in trees as per a rainforest, but that means its so so dark! The darkness really makes it an extra challenge to capture good photos.
