Who am I....
Hi, I'm Bakso, a newborn Sumatran tiger cub! I was born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and my arrival is a big deal for tiger conservation. I'm part of a critically endangered species, with fewer than 400 of us left in the wild. My mom, Sohni, and the amazing caretakers at Disney helped ensure I came into the world safely. Soon, you'll be able to see me and my mom in the Maharajah Jungle Trek exhibit. I represent hope for my species, and I'm excited to be part of efforts to protect tigers like me!
For more information, visit Disney Parks Blog. You can also find me on the official Disney Instagram and on X.
Meet my mom Sohni, isn't she very proud?
