A trio of Amur tiger cubs born at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s Highland Wildlife Park have undergone their first health check and vaccination.

The check also gave keepers the chance to determine the gender of the three cubs. They are two girls and a boy.

Keepers will soon determine names for the three nine-week old cubs. They were born to mother Dominika and dad, Botzman.

Veterinary staff and keepers announced that the cubs are doing well.

At present the cubs remain off-display in an off-show cubbing den at the park. Visitors to the park can currently see their father Botzman in the outdoor viewing habitat.

Highland Wildlife Park will announce opportunities for visitors to meet the cubs in the future.
