The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo’s two Amur tiger cubs made their debut at Rosebrough Tiger Passage. Now it’s time to pick names for the cubs and support wildlife conservation.
The tiger cubs were born at zoo on November 6, 2023, to mom, Zoya, and dad, Hector. After sharing private time in a maternity den with mom, the male and female cubs are ready to venture outside at Rosebrough Tiger Passage.
While tigers are solitary animals, mother tigers typically raise their young for their first two years.
