*** Love *** - Soyono and a Cub @ Washington DC / US National Zoo

    Follow me on FACEBOOK
    There was a special preview of the cubs yesterday, and I was lucky enough to be able to attend. :D

    The three Sumatran Tiger Cubs are just 3 months and 1 day old, and their public debut is scheduled for Saturday September 2nd (8-10am I think).

    See also one of the other photos I posted, yesterday, which made Explorer, 2 cubs...

      Great capture Jon! I'm jealous you are getting to see them so soon. The L.A. cubs didn't go on view until they were six months old since they wanted to be extra sure Melukakan would be a good first time mother.

      How sweet is this???? I love that they have different colored eyes. So cute! Are these new cubs brothers/sisters of the other three?
