In summer 2017 tigress Zolushka became a mom for second time and gave birth of 2 cubs. During the winter of 2018-2019 it became clear that one of the cubs is male while the gender of the second cub stayed unclear. A new check of camera traps revealed that second cub is a female.

For six years of habitation in Bastak reserve the tigress gave birth of already 4 cubs, 3 of them - males. Two of the males from the first litter already left the area of the reserve in the search of new home. The third male who already reached an age of solitary animal still didn't left his birth territory but soon probably will be enforced to quit the reserve because the majority of the suitable territory in the reserve is occupied by the dominant male with nick name Bastak.

According to assesments of the zoologists on the teritory of the state reserve Bastak could live 3-4 adult tigresses so the possibility that the young female will remain in the samy teritoryis pretty high.
