TAMPA, FLA. (WSVN) - Get ready to book a trip to Tampa when you see this — Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo now has their first Malayan tiger cub! It’s a breed so rare, it is critically endangered around the world.

According to the Lowry Park Zoo, they are excited to formally announce the birth of their first Malayan tiger cub. The cub’s mother is named Bzui, who will be taking time off to nurse and care for her cub in a private den.

In honor of the formal announcement, the zoo released a video on Facebook of Bzui looking fondly over her tiny, little cub as she nurses it.

The cub is so small, that she nearly blends in with her mamma.

Congrats, Lowry Park Zoo!
