This video shows our very proud Amur Tiger mum, Ronja, with her three 12 week old female cubs, on the day the cubs come face to face with their dad, Pan! Ronja was never far away, and she was very quick to step in and reassure with quiet chuffing noises and licks when they got scared but her calm attitude to the whole changing enclosures, and meeting dad, helped her cubs through this very big, scarey, event!

Watch this space to see what the cubs did next! Video taken by
