Meet Adelaide Zoo's Tiger Cub Trio!

 

Adelaide Zoo has the perfect way to entertain your young ones these School Holidays – bring your cubs to meet the cubs at Adelaide Zoo!

Sumatran Tiger cubs Susu, Marni and Ketambe recently made their official public debut, capturing hearts as they pounced and played with their mum Delilah.

Please remember, the cubs are still only little. This is a big adjustment for them so they may often get tired and go off for a snooze in the bamboo. If you are unable to see the cubs when you first visit Immersion, try and visit their habitat again later in the day.
