Eastern zoo unable to conceal its excitement!
In an extraordinary event at Zoo Magdeburg, located in the East of Germany, a Siberian tiger named Stormi gave birth to five cubs on May 20, a phenomenon that is extremely rare for tigers[1]. This birth has been considered a miracle by many, and the four surviving cubs are now on public display, much to the delight of visitors.
The tiger family made their public debut while receiving their vaccinations, an event that was captured on video and shared by the zoo on Facebook[2]. The video shows the cubs exploring their outdoor area with their mother, and has garnered positive reactions from viewers who find the cubs irresistibly cute[3]. Terms like "Cuddle alert" and "they are so cute" are frequently used to describe the tiger cubs.
Visitors who have seen the tiger family with their babies share their experiences, with one commenting, "We saw them today with their babies"[4]. TikTok has several clips uploaded around July 21, 2025, showing the cubs’ debut and vaccinations[1][2][3].
As the cubs continue to grow, they are curious, active, and can be seen playing, tumbling, and dozing off[5]. However, the birth of the five cubs also brings great responsibility to the zoo, as they work to ensure the best care and upbringing for the small family.
Social media users express their emotions about the video, with one commenting, "It's an emotional moment"[6]. Some visitors recall personal interactions with Stormi, the mother tiger, with one stating, "I had Stormi on my arm when she was still so small"[6]. The interest in the small tiger family in the East is high, and visitors who go to the zoo now could have a rare opportunity to see the tiger family up close.
