PHOTOS: Sumatran Tiger Baby Bakso Appears at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Have you met Baby Bakso yet?
The adorable Sumatran tiger was born last September at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and we’ve been following his journey ever since!

Over the past few months, Disney has shared weekly updates — called “Tiger Tuesdays” — detailing Bakso’s progress, development, and growth.

We watched as the sweet tiger cub enjoyed his first solid meal, learned to swim, and otherwise stole our hearts.

This week, Baby Bakso FINALLY made his official debut at the Maharajah Jungle Trek at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, where he appeared with his mother, Sohni.

At only four months old, Baby Bakso is — unsurprisingly — a little camera shy!

The Disney Cast Member attempted to coax him out, but Bakso only appeared for a few seconds at a time before running back inside.

Still, Bakso appeared to enjoy some quality time with his doting mom, Sohni.

The duo soaked up some Florida sun and took a stroll down the stone stairway.

We were so excited to finally see Bakso in person, and LOVED seeing the bond between Bakso and Sohni!

Want to see Baby Bakso for yourself? Head over to Maharajah Jungle Trek (located behind Kali River Rapids in the Asia section of the park) at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
For now, Bakso is only appearing for a brief time first thing in the morning, so keep that in mind!
