    Powerless cub

    Havana, Cuba
    A rare white Bengal tiger cub at Cuba’s national zoo. Its birth marks a reproductive milestone for the facility despite a lack of stable electricity and a shortage of operational resources that complicate the feeding and rearing of exotic species.

    The zoo staff only gets 5 litres of diesel fuel a day when they actually need 20 litres just to distribute meat and food across the massive 375-hectare grounds. The keepers have literally been resorting to horse-and-buggy and electric tricycles to make sure this little cub and his three siblings are fed and kept safe.
