The first Sumatran tiger cub born in seven years at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Bakso, can now be seen by guests on the Maharajah Jungle Trek.

Bakso Arrives at the Maharajah Jungle Trek

In the Maharajah Jungle Trek, an adult tiger lounges on the grass of the outdoor enclosure as a curious tiger cub approaches. The scene is beautifully set against brick walls, with wood and stone elements adding to the natural ambiance.

Born back in October 2024, Bakso can now be seen on the Maharajah Jungle Trek with his mom Sohni. Today, Wednesday, January 29, is his first day out and about in guest view.

Two tigers rest on a grassy patch near a wooden door at Disney's Animal Kingdom. An adult tiger lies down while a tiger cub stands beside it, close to the stone wall, capturing the essence of the Maharajah Jungle Trek.

The mom and son played together early this morning as the first guests to spot him arrived on the trail.

Two tigers lie on the grass near a wooden door. While one is resting, the tiger cub, named Baby Bakso, leans affectionately against it. Steps with bricks are visible in the foreground of this scene from the Maharajah Jungle Trek.

There are less than 600 Sumatran tigers left in the wild and managed care, and are considered an “umbrella species,” meaning that conservation efforts to preserve them will extend to other species within their habitat.

Until now, guests have been able to keep up with Bakso’s progress ahead of his trek debut thanks to “Tiger Tuesday TV,” a live-stream offering from the Disney Parks Blog that offered a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the young cub’s many milestones.
