Little Tigers

Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo announced the birth of 2.2 Amur tiger cubs, April 15. ("2.2" means two males and two females, in Zoo speak.)

As often happens with "litters", one did not survive.

The mother and three surviving (2.1 because a female died) tigers are doing well.

Amur tigers are endangered and used to be called Siberian tigers only in the U.S. They never lived in Siberia. Their native habitat is in the Russian Far East, through which the Amur River runs.
