This Sumatran Tiger cub, born at the San Francisco Zoo on 10 February to mother Leanne, has had its first vet check this week and it was determined that it’s a girl. To minimally interrupt mother-cub bonding, the exam was done in less than 5 minutes, revealing that the five-week-old is in excellent health and thriving under her mother’s care. And since this is a solo cub and there is no competition for milk, the baby has a nice big belly and weighed in at 8 pounds. Her next exam will take place around 10 April, when she is 8 weeks old — via ZooBorns
