#Regram #RG Ifawhq: #Congratulations to the new #mamochka! Zolushka the #Amur tigress has given #birth to a pair of #cubs! 
Once upon a time in 2012, Zolushka (#Cinderella in Russian) was a helpless five to six month-old #orphaned #cubrescued in a small #Russian village. The damsel in distress was sent to her fairy Godmother, a one-of-a-kind #rehabilitation center near the village of Alexeevka supported by #IFAW and other partner organizations. After a year of rehabilitation, #Zolushka was successfully released back into the #wild in May 2013. She was given a glass slipper in the form of a GPS and radio collar so we could track her movements and monitor her well-being. 
With no evil stepmother and stepsisters in sight, Zolushka has thrived these past 2+ years in the wild growing to a #beautiful healthy adult #tigress. She met Zaventyi, her Prince Charming, and now she’s the proud #mother of two beautiful #tigercubs - making her the first rehabilitated and released #AmurTiger to give birth in the wild! 
In a world where Amur #Tigers are facing #extinction with only about 500 remaining in the wild, it’s magical to see that #fairytale endings do come true! ❤️🐅🐯🐯❤️ Video Credit: ©Bastak
