Sumatran Tiger cubs trio

Big news! Three little Sumatran Tiger cub was born from mom Brytne and dad Rengat. They debuted to the public on October 16, 2003 and I was there 4 days later to take photos. These are the first Sumatran Tiger cubs born in Canada while in the wild there may be as few as 400 remaining.

Here’s a shot of all three tiger cubs – from the left Chelsea (female), Skylar (female) and Kougra (male).

Now let’s have an introduction for all three.

This is Chelsea a female cub.

First is Skylar also a female cub.

And this is Kougra a male cub.

The cubs are very attached to their mother.
