SHENYANG, July 30 (Xinhua) -- Two Siberian tiger cubs are growing strong at Shenyang Forest Zoological Garden in northeast China's Liaoning Province.
Born on May 15 this year, the two tiger cubs are twin sisters.
Fang Xiaolei, keeper of the tiger cubs, said that the two cubs have different features and it's easy to tell them apart. "The older sister's eyebrows are flat, and the younger one's are curved," said Fang.
The twin cubs haven't been weaned yet. Some animal fodder was specially prepared for them, including milk powder, calcium powder, vitamin A and D, and chopped chicken and beef.
Now there are more than 30 Siberian tigers kept in the Shenyang Forest Zoological Garden. According to Fang, the zoo is inviting the public to name the twin cubs and their final names will be unveiled before long.
Siberian tigers, also known as Amur or Manchurian tigers, are one of the most endangered animals in the world, and are on China's first-class protection list.
