Twin Cubs' First Frolic in the Sun
October 07, 2011
Visitors to the Assiniboine Park Zoo on Monday got to take in a special sight.Two Siberian tiger cubs, born on July 29 at the zoo, were on the prowl, making their first public appearance.
"At eight weeks these guys were about seven and a half, eight kilos," said Chris Enright, senior veterinarian. "They'll get more and more confident, and come up a lot closer. So I'm sure people will have plenty of photo opportunities coming up," said Tim Sinclair-Smith from the Assiniboine Park Zoo.
The public is invited to participate in naming the twins. Visit the Zoo's Facebook page to vote.
