A Newborn Tiger Cub Completely Raised by Human Hands

In 2020, The Wildcat Sanctuary in Minnesota was called about an animal breeding facility for which the owner had died. They went to rescue four tigers, but found an additional newborn. Tiger Winona had just given birth, and she was in poor health, plus she didn't know what to do with a cub since they'd always been removed after birth to socialize the cub and have Winona breed again. The cub was also in danger from his father Marcus, who was known to attack cubs. This was during COVID, so little Dash was isolated and raised by a single volunteer named Tammy. 

Dash was the first newborn big cat raised by the sanctuary, and his progress was documented thoroughly on videotape. The Dodo compiled lots of clips to show us how Dash grew up to be a big and strong tiger. He'll never be released into the wild, but he can live his best life possible under their care.
