Everland "70 Days Old and Growing Fast... Please Name the Five Tiger Siblings"

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Samsung C&T Resort Division announced on the 6th that it is holding a naming contest for five Korean tiger siblings born at Everland.

On June 27, five Korean tigers (three females and two males), an endangered species listed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), were naturally born at Everland.

Korean tigers are generally known to give birth to about 2 to 3 cubs at a time, making the birth of five siblings at once an extremely rare case worldwide.

The baby tigers, born weighing about 1kg between mother Geon-gon (born in 2016) and father Tae-ho (born in 2016), have rapidly grown to 6 to 8kg in just 70 days under their mother's care.

To celebrate the 70th day since the birth of the baby tigers, Everland is conducting a naming event involving customer participation. Until the 8th, customers can participate in naming the baby tigers by leaving comments with suggested names and their meanings on Everland's official SNS channels such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.

From these, a shortlist will be selected by comprehensively considering opinions from zoo keepers, veterinarians, employees, and customer feedback. Then, from the 10th to the 22nd, a second round of customer voting will be held on the Everland website, with the final names announced at the end of the month to coincide with the public unveiling of the baby tigers.

Everland plans to present various baby tiger merchandise as gifts to customers who participate in the naming event through comments and voting. The baby Korean tigers are already showing their unique personalities: the eldest female is dignified as the firstborn but is a gluttonous leader when eating; the second, a male, is the most mischievous and active but also timid.

The third female is the gentlest and most timid but becomes brave when food is involved; the fourth male is a curious social butterfly who actively approaches the keepers. Lastly, the youngest female is a shy mama's girl but is said to be the leader in teasing her older brothers and sisters.

Detailed information about the baby tigers' personalities and the naming event can be found on the Everland website and official SNS channels.
