Leyla Aliyeva, Vice President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, founder and head of the IDEA Public Union, shared this on her Instagram account:
"First time ever in the history of the Baku Zoo! Tiger female cub named Nur was born in the tiger year!
"Her birth is a double occasion for us, as tigers aren't built to reproduce as fast as other mammals, and the birth of a cub is a rare occurrence. With less than 4000 in the wild, tigers are on the brink of extinction. The cub is currently being cared for by the zoo staff in an off-exhibit area and will gradually be introduced to her parents."
