#Caturday x 2. #Repost @sdzsafaripark (@get_repost) ・・・ You voted and here they are! 🐯 MOKA and RAKAN 🐯 are the official names for the cutest tiger cub duo. The Bengal tiger, aka #RescueCub, is now Moka, meaning "chance.” The Sumatran cub is Rakan, meaning "friend." #TigerTwosome #SDZSafariPark #EndExtinction (at San Diego Zoo Safari Park)

#WednesdayWisdom: If you are going "all in" on playing, pouncing, scratching and biting with your new tiger cub friend... Then you need to be prepared to go "all in" on your nap. Even if that means falling asleep in your water dish. #RescueCub #naptime #cuteface #cute #sleepyface #tiger #tigercub #sandiegozoo #safaripark #NotAPet (at San Diego, California)

So good to see these two together. The best way to grow up as a tiger is with a tiger. #Zoofriends #Repost @sdzsafaripark (@get_repost) ・・・ A special striped delivery arrived today for our #RescueCub from @smithsonianzoo. 🐯 Link in bio. #SDZSafariPark #EndExtinction

"Soft kitty, Warm kitty, Little ball of fur..." still #NotAPet. Our little friend the #RescueCub just finished his bottle after playing with his new roommate the Sumatran Cub from @smithsonianzoo. We did a Facebook live update on the @sdzsafaripark Facebook page - I encourage you to go check it out for the most recent update... and yes, some cuteness too. (at San Diego Zoo Safari Park)

Yep. You knew this was coming... Tiger toes for #ToeTuesday! You have to admit, even at an estimated 6 to 7 weeks of age this "little" cub already has an impressive set of claws. These sharp hooked claws serve young tigers well. As they grow; climbing, practice hunts and wrestling are all part of life. And soon those "games" become life skills for a young adult tiger. #RescueCub #sdzSafariPark #sandiegozoo #safaripark #tiger #bigcatsofinstagram #instacat #claws #toes #cute (at San Diego Zoo Safari Park)

I will never, ever, take any of this for granted. It is an honor to be in such close contact with some of the most amazing creatures on our planet. I have been working with, and for, animals most of my life. And yet moments like this still fill me with gratitude and awe. I am glad our amazing team of animal care specialist are here to take care of this little guy. And I promise to do everything I can to help others learn about him and the plight of his species. #wildlifeeducation #RescueCub (at San Diego Zoo Safari Park)
