A seven-year-old tiger has given birth to a cub at the Siberian Tiger Park in Harbin, China, marking the country's first successful breeding in the wild.
After three months, the female cub is doing well and is quickly learning new skills.
A local zoologist said: "The Siberian tiger's successful breeding in the wild is an important breakthrough for us."
On June 27 and 28, the keepers could not find the female tiger, numbered 426.
They presumed she had given birth to a cub and went to look for her in a cave.
It is more than a decade since China began to study how to breed tigers in the wild.
