TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — The Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma says a Sumatran tiger cub that nearly died two weeks ago has recovered.
The zoo staff is now calling 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 now is jumping around and acting like a normal tiger. She was reunited Tuesday with her mother and brother.
