    "Two Sumatran tiger cubs were born at the Safari Park on October 5, 2010. Sumatran tigers are critically endangered, with only about 400 left worldwide. They are the smallest of the tiger species, but a male can reach 220 pounds. The Park is currently home to 7 Sumatran tigers, but 23 have been born"

    I wish I could see the cubs, they aren't suppose to be out until January.

    How wonderful! The breeding program seems to be very progressive:)

    More babies? This will be good for the funding of the new tiger exhibit.
