Born on August 23, 2024, at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Barong is more than just adorable—he’s a lifeline for the critically endangered Sumatran tiger species. As the first cub for his mother, Jillian, his birth is a huge step toward ensuring the survival of a population with fewer than 400 tigers left in the wild.
Barong resides at the Tull Family Tiger Trail, a habitat designed for climbing, swimming, and nurturing tiger instincts while educating visitors about their plight. Did you know Sumatran tigers are excellent swimmers? Barong’s water-loving nature is already shining through!
As part of the AZA Species Survival Plan, Barong’s birth strengthens genetic diversity, a crucial effort to protect tigers from threats like habitat loss and poaching. His playful charm is set to inspire action, from supporting sustainable palm oil to raising awareness for wildlife conservation.
Barong’s story reminds us that every small step can help save a species.
