The tiger cubs werenāt in the best condition upon their birth because of their mom, Zoyaās, struggle as a first-time mom, but a special team of Animal Care experts at Sarah Allison Steffee Center for Zoological Medicine have been taking care of the cubs around the clock. The team has been bottle-feeding the cubs five times a day, and the tigers have been steadily gaining weight. In the last few weeks, the brother and sister have been making great developmental progress, and once theyāre healthy enough, they will have a permanent home in the Zooās Rosebrough Tiger Passage. Theyāll be joining their mom and dad, Hector, there.
Cleveland Metropark Zoo made the announcement on Twitter with the release of an adorable video of the cubs laying around and being fed! While no official names have been given to them yet, weāll be keeping an eye on the zooās account for updates.
