The Cologne Zoo recently faced the loss of two newborn lion cubs, which were euthanized after their mother failed to accept and care for them. The zoo decided against hand-rearing the cubs to avoid imprinting them on humans, leading to the difficult decision to euthanize the weakened animals to prevent further suffering. Meanwhile, the Magdeburg Zoo in eastern Germany reported positive news with the birth of four tiger cubs. These cubs have recently received their first vaccinations, marking a rare and celebrated event for the zoo. Zoo director David Pruss expressed enthusiasm about the tiger cubs' development, highlighting the rarity of such births.
