Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Thursday 25th August 2005 - The Star Nicky the star attraction at zoo MALACCA: Nicky has not had a shortage of visitors since being sent to the Malacca Zoo. The tiger cub, which has won the hearts of Malaysians since her rescue, yesterday had a VIP visitor ?the wife of the governor, Toh Puan Zurina Kassim. I learnt about Nicky from the newspapers, said Zurina, who was accompanied by several family members and friends. The tiger cub, saved from the cooking pot by Trade Commissioner to Papua New Guinea Datuk Dr S.H. Foo, looked emaciated when rescued but was soon nursed back to health by the zoo staff. Malacca Zoo director Mohd Nawayai Yasak said that the cub was eating well. She is in good condition now and is very playful. We're feeding her chicken wings, cat food and milk three times a day. We are also carefully monitoring her condition and will slowly acclimatise her to humans as we plan to allow visitors to take photographs with her, hopefully in September if the veterinarian gives the green light,?he said.
