HOT OFF THE PRESS
Saving Moka
This is the true story of Moka the tiger cub, his rescue from wildlife traffickers, and the people—and tiger friend—who would help save him. After being discovered at the United States/Mexico border, Moka was sent to live at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, where he spent his days wrestling and playing with his young friend Rakan. But being born into the world of wildlife trafficking would soon bring some unexpected health challenges to Moka. Written for children ages 6–10, Saving Moka is part of the award-winning Hope & Inspiration series, which includes five true stories of animals who faced—and overcame—challenges at the San Diego Zoo.
