Nishka, Layla and Alexsander are developing their own personalities.
Three endangered Amur tiger cubs, born at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland's (RZSS) Highland Wildlife Park earlier this year, are said to be delighting guests with their playful antics.
Nishka, Layla and Aleksander were born to mum Dominika and dad Botzman in May and took their first steps out of the cubbing den in July. On Monday, adorable footage released by keepers at the park shows the cubs playfighting in their enclosure.
Keith Gilchrist, animal collection manager at Highland Wildlife Park, said: “It has been wonderful to see our three cubs and mum Dominika grow over the past six months. At half a year old, the cub’s characters are starting to shine.
“Nishka is the most confident around us and is always chuffing in the hope of more meat chunks. Layla follows in her footsteps as the two are always together, play fighting and keeping mum on her toes.
“Little Aleksander is more reserved and spends the most time with Dominika, but he is slowly becoming braver, exploring more and playing with his sisters.
“Amur tiger family groups do not usually live together in the wild and Dominika is still fiercely protective of the cubs, so dad Botzman is living separately for now.”
