Tiger Tuesday: Baby Bakso Is Getting Ready to Swim!
If you have been reading along here at MickeyBlog, you know that we have been closely following the adventures of baby Bakso and his mother, Shohni, over on the Disney Parks YouTube channel.
For those who don’t know, baby Bakso is a Sumatran tiger cub born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom three months ago. To celebrate, Disney has introduced Tiger Tuesdays, a weekly update that gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at Bakso and Sohni as they prepare for their big debut on the Maharajah Jungle Trek.

It has been quite an adventure.
Baby Bakso’s Journey
Over the past nine weeks, we watched as Bakso got first checkups, was introduced to scent enrichment, and even ate his first meatball!

Last week, the tiger cub, who is getting bigger and bigger, continued to explore his environment and grow more confident. Now, it is time for another Tiger Tuesday update.
The Latest Tiger Tuesday Update
This week, baby Bakso continued to practice his pouncing and camouflaging skills and even had some fun with a pile of hay. With Sohni keeping a close eye on him, the tiger cub continued to test his strength and coordination.

Up next for Bakso is learning how to swim.
With that in mind, the Animal Care team has installed a small swimming pool in Bakso’s environment, allowing the tiger cub to get comfortable with the structure. Soon, they will add small amounts of water to help Bakso acclimate.
