The tigers were rescued from illegal wildlife traders in the central province of Nghe An in August 2021. At that time, the animals were between 1-1.5 months old and each cub weighed a mere 2.9 to 4.5 kilos.

To date, each tiger weighs up to around 100 kilos.

The animals will be taken to a new conservation area at Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park with cages of 40 square metres. The site includes nine cages, bathing ponds and relaxing areas for the tigers.

Tri added that two German experts supported the national park in the tiger relocation.
