We are pleased to announce that we have decided on the names for our children.

The zookeepers came up with plant-related names for the offspring of the pair "Ichi" (female, 11 years old) and "Artyom" (male, 11 years old), naming them "Hibana" and "Tsubomi".

We are pleased to announce that Amur Tiger has been born at Tama Zoo. This marks the first successful breeding at our park in two years, since 2024.

background

Multiple matings were observed between Ichi and Artyom between January 14th and 16th, 2026. As Ichi did not show signs of further estrus, preparations were made to create a suitable environment for childbirth. Surveillance camera footage showed that Ichi began showing signs of labor around 6:00 AM on May 2nd, and childbirth began around 9:15 AM. It was confirmed that she gave birth to two cubs by 12:00 PM.

This is Ichi's second pregnancy, and she is calmly raising her baby in a private bedroom. Both mother and child appear to be in good health. Creating a safe and secure environment for the mother is our top priority, and we are carefully monitoring the mother and child.

About the release

The opening date will be announced on Tama Zoo official website as soon as it is decided.
*This will be released on November 1st, 2026 (Sunday).
