On February 1, the first day of the Chinese New Year, the rain could not stop everyone from going out to play. Many citizens and tourists choose to come to the Hainan Tropical Wildlife Botanical Garden to see tigers and dip into the "tiger atmosphere".
On that day, the cute tiger baby "Duoduo" became the "traffic bearer" of the entire zoo. This is a 6-month-old female Siberian tiger, lively and active, jumping back and forth between large rocks and tree trunks in the exhibition area. Through the glass, tourists have raised their cameras to record the cute appearance of "Duoduo".
The 6-month-old tiger baby in the park is "Duoduo".
"The little tiger is so cute!" Liao Wenming, a tourist from Chengmai County, hugged his 6-year-old son and excitedly waved to greet the little tiger. Liao Wenming said that watching the tiger in the year of the tiger can also please a good head, "I hope that the children in the new year can be like tigers, tigers and tigers!" ”
At about 10 a.m., it was time for breakfast in "Toto". Tiger "Daddy" Wu Zhihao walked toward "Duoduo" with the "New Year Feast", first carefully "plated" beef and chicken on a banana leaf, and then brought it to "Duoduo". Looking at the delicious food in front of him, "Duoduo" couldn't care about the image of "lady", so he feasted in front of everyone.
Located in the tiger exhibition area in the park, a pair of tigers are "talking about love".
"I'm happy to see that my tiger boy can now eat and sleep." Wu Zhihao told the Hainan Daily reporter that "Duoduo" was born in the Hainan Tropical Wildlife Botanical Garden in August last year, but because the tiger mother abandoned the baby after childbirth, the zoo undertook the artificial childcare work of "Duoduo". The nursery staff worked day and night, carefully taking care of "Duoduo", from the beginning of feeding milk powder, to the later beef, chicken, animal offal ... "Duoduo's appetite is getting better and better, and the body has become healthy and strong from the initial weakness and emaciation.
In addition to baby tigers, there are 5 adult tigers in tiger mountain located in the zoo's beast area, which can be seen by car. Compared with the active tigers, these adult tigers are more "kingly": they either leisurely stroll on tiger mountains or doze off on the ground. Sometimes they will "look at the tiger" and show their fangs to tourists to show their majesty as the "king of the hundred beasts".

At about 2 p.m., when the Hainan Daily reporter left, he saw that the number of vehicles and tourists entering the zoo was still increasing. "Although the rainy weather has a certain impact on the zoo's flow of people, watching the tiger in the Year of the Tiger can make a good head, and animals such as gibbons and pandas are loved by tourists, we are also full of confidence in the number of tourists in the next few days." Liu Siyue, manager of the marketing department of The Hainan Tropical Wildlife Botanical Garden, especially reminded that when tourists watch tigers and lions in the beast area, they must not get out of the car to take pictures, illegally feed, and tease animals to avoid accidents.
