“It’s not uncommon for first-time tiger moms not to know what to do," curator of mammals Mike Dulaney said. "They can be aggressive and even harm or kill the cubs. Nursery staff is keeping them warm and feeding them every three hours.”
The cubs will be cared for in the nursery for now. They will move to Cat Canyon when they’re weaned and no longer need constant care, according to the zoo.
Visitors should be able to see them playing and running around in their outdoor habitat in early spring.
