Finally Some Good Tiger News- Part 2

So, last week it was finally released that Chester Zoo have some new arrivals in the form of 3 rare sumatran tiger cubs which were born the weekend before I started my placement at the Zoo on the 2nd Jan!

Now the cubs are already 3 weeks old and although they are not out and about yet, I expect they will want to be exploring a little more in the next month or so! So until I am able to capture some pictures of them once they are out of their den, here is the video of the cubs just after they were born released by the zoo.

Enjoy!

A Quick Trip to Brussels

Just before New Year I planned a surprise trip for my boyfriend and I to Brussels. I had never considered how easy it really is to just hop on the Eurostar and within 3 hours be in a completely different country.

Wildcat and Tiger Trades Increasing

I haven't posted about nature in the news for what feels like forever but this story, just after I returned from Africa, really caught my attention.


It has been found that from a survey conducted over the past two decades, that the trade of tiger and wildcat parts from  Myanmar (Burma) into China in recent years is growing. The fact that the sale of these animals is still increasing is a dying shame because soon there really will be none of them left to sell.

Coming Home For Christmas

So in December I left South Africa after an amazing 3 months. I surprised my boyfriend my coming home 5 days early which after lots of coordination between my mum, Jordan's mum and I we got him to the airport without knowing anything.
