NEW Amur tiger cubs play with Mom at Denver Zoo

Koshka was trying to play with a large ball in the exhibit but her cubs wanted to bug her instead. The cubs are a little tough to follow through all the plants in the tiger yard, but it's good enrichment for them. They're the cutest! (Denver Zoo 9-2-10)

@hayabusa117239 They're Amur (formerly called Siberian) tigers, not Bengal. Denver Zoo doesn't have any Bengal tigers.

@TorridPassion oh so are they less rare then bengal?

[TorridPassion]

@hayabusa117239 Amur are MORE rare, although both species are very endangered.

I live in Denver, I gotta get back to that zoo. I just remember the one tiger who liked to hit the glass to scare people...or try and eat us.
