Great Cats - National Zoo FONZ
The Great Cats exhibit on Lion/Tiger Hill features Sumatran tigers and an African lionliving, breathing, roaring great cats. They are ambassadors for their wild relatives, and for the Zoos conservation and science initiatives for tigers, lions, and many other cats, which, even if not great in size, are still great! Cub Update and Debut Information The cubs were recently weighed at 18.2, 21.2, and 24.6 pounds each. At the cubs' first exam on June 8, the male weighed 6.8 pounds, and the females weighed 5.8 and 4.8 pounds each. This is Soyono's third litter of cubs. There are fewer than 500 Sumatran tigers in the wild |

to me, a tiger is the most beautiful of big cats.
I'd love to scratch their nose and paws (but would lose my hand and a few other entrails !).

Aww, they're sooo cute! I wish I could have one, but it would probably eat me when it got a little bigger. LOL
