The video above was made available to the general public by the people working at the Sacramento Zoo, and shows one incredibly young tiger cub trying to make head and tail of its surroundings and bonding with its mother.

While the first half of the video shows the cub during his first hour of life, the second half shows it when 13 hours old.

As one can easily notice, the tiger cub did not delay in building up its confidence, seeing how it only took a few hours for it to feel ready to climb over its mother.

The cub was born at the Sacramento Zoo this past March 3, yet it will be a while before its caretakers agree to let visitors have a closer look at it.

“Welcome to the world! Great job n proud to the mom,” reads one comment to this footage.
