TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A Sumatran tiger cub that nearly died last month has recovered enough to make a public appearance Friday at the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma where they call her “Miracle Mali.”
The 6-month-old cub underwent emergency surgery Nov. 15 for an intestinal blockage and went into cardiac arrest. She was revived, but zoo veterinarians feared she had brain damage.
The zoo says Mali has regained her eyesight and is acting like a normal tiger. She was reunited Tuesday with her mother and brother.
