The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Posted in

Amur Tiger "Anna" gave birth to a male cub in May named Yuri. This is Anna's first cub at the Erie Zoo. Unfortunately Yuri needed to be separated from his mom after he got a cut on his neck from some rough carrying by mom and over grooming. Luckily animal keepers took great care of little Yuri and he is now doing well.

    It is impossible for me to view a picture of any baby big cat without yelling “KITTY!!!” 😀

    As a nature photographer, I frequently shoot photos at the Erie Zoo. And I love taking pictures of tigers, especially cubs. 🙂
    Yuri is currently on my blog, if you want to see what he looked like in September and how much hes grown. Check out my page:

    Me too! I love all cats, great and small! Such truly magnificent creatures. I can’t wait to go back to the Bronx Zoo, so much has changed there since I was a child…back in the 50s and 60s!
