Three cubs were born at the Rescue Center on May 20. The tiny guys have to be cared for 24 hours a day. Tigers are helpless at birth and live with their mom until they're about 3 years old. Tigers are the biggest of the big cats. The average tiger living in Africa weighs between 400 and 600 lbs.
Lions love attention and like to play in water.
At the Rescue Center I had the delightful job of refilling their pool of water. One of the tigers jumped in and delightfully played in the spraying water. If you run outside their cage back and forth, they follow you. They're engergetic and love to play.
