The event occurred a few weeks ago when she and her son were visiting the zoo. She helped remove the overly large piece of meat that the cub was attempting to swallow, attempted mouth to muzzle, then heart massage. Within 5 minutes, the cub revived. In homage to these events which saved the little tiger, the zoo in Halle has named the cub Johann which is the name of Janine’s son. See original Reuters article. No images accompanied the article, but the BSH loves tigers and their pictures, so I have included an unrelated but lovely image to enjoy.
