Watch as Dash, the cutest tiger cub, explores and experiences life for the first time! From opening his eyes to exploring the snow and his first birthday party. The first year of the tiger cub Dash’s life has been captured in this heartwarming video!
Seeing the World For the First Time
Dash was welcomed to his new home at a mere two weeks old, and weighing only 4.2 pounds. Here, his caretakers provided him with affection and the care he needed from the moment of his arrival. He finally saw his caretakers who had been showering him with love when he opened his eyes for the first time at 10 days old.
Baby Steps
Around two weeks old, Dash took his first steps, an activity that took a lot of energy for this tiger cub! Spending his days playing with his toys and observing the world, he started to become a bit more independent around 30 days old. Climbing and walking to where he wants to be all by himself.
Exploring the Outdoors
When he was around 2 months old, Dash the tiger cub experienced the outdoors for the first time. The way he treads carefully over the snow-covered ground and instinctively sharpens his claws on a tree is an endearing sight. Dash plays outside often, with his caretakers’ supervision, of course, to get used to the big world. He even had his first swim, which he loved, as tigers are known to be fond of water!
Joyful Moments Shared
Through the first year of his life, we can see Dash not only growing up but enjoying his life! Sharing in experiences such as Halloween where he got to roll around his pumpkin, swim often, and play with the abundance of toys he has!
