CLEVELAND Just a few weeks after announcing the birth of two endangered Amur tiger cubs, the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is now welcoming the addition of a 2-month-old Malayan tiger cub that comes from the Tulsa Zoo.
The female tiger cub – named Indrah – has joined the two Amur tiger cubs that were born at the Cleveland Zoo in late December “to form a social group of two endangered subspecies of tigers.”

CLEVELAND Two Amur tiger cubs were born recently at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
Zoo officials announced Thursday that the twins came into the world between Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. The cubs are now being hand-reared by a team of animal care experts.
The cubs have been bottle-fed five times a day to ensure they hit certain growth milestones, including opening their eyes and beginning to walk. Once the cubs are a few months old, they will make their home at the Rosebrough Tiger Passage.
