This is not new news, but the baby tiger is just so adorable.
The remaining population of tiger in the wild is just so miserable.
PLEASE... Let us do our part to prevent them from going in the fate as the Dodo Birds
They deserved a chance to LIVE just like us
Sumatran tigers are a critically endangered species, with only about 400 remaining in the wild, according to the Sumatran Tiger Trust. About 350 live in captivity. The tiger is named for its home, the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. The other two Indonesian tiger sub-species, the Javan and Bali tigers, are both extinct.
Human impact and deforestation are the main reason for the decline of the Sumatran tiger population, and all tiger populations as a whole.

Their mother is the Frankfurt Zoo's Sumatran tiger, Malea, who can be see in the photo below giving one of the cubs a bath. Tiger cubs often stay with their mothers for about a year and a half, before going venturing off on their own.
