In Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, the two new born Tiger
are struggling to survive. For the precarious health, they are taken
from their mother.
According to the Spokeswoman Patty Peters,"The
week-old Amur tigers are beginning to stabilize in the zoo animal
hospital and the both are males and the species is also known as the
Siberian tiger."
Harry Peachey said that we are pretty excited about
how well they are doing. Columbus Zoo announced their birth
yesterday. The mother name of the tiger cubs is Mara.
Last Friday morning Mara delivered the first cub at
10:41 PM on 28 June and second is about four and half hours later.
The member of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium saw the
tiger cub birth with a camera in Mara den after that they keep track
of their feeding.
And according to Peachey, "It almost appeared
that he was not able to complete with his brother and we had much
prefer that the Mara raise the babies and the babies survive."
"Each cub was 2 to 3 pounds at birth and the cub
father is 9-year-old Foli, the weight of the tiger cubs is less but
they have begun to gain their weight" , Peachey said.
In North American zoos, Tigers were last born at the
Columbus Zoo in 1990.
