DHAKA, June 13 (Xinhua) -- Two Bengal tiger cubs are seen Monday playing with each other in the tiger enclosure at the Bangladesh National Zoo, also known as the Dhaka Zoo.

The zoo has recently welcomed the cubs including one white cub.

The cubs are now about two and a half months old, and still reliant on their mother's milk.

Tigress Belly gave birth to a normal cub and one white cub on April 5.

The zoo authorities are still feeding supplementary milk to the new borns and kept them and their mother under CCTV watch to monitor their health conditions.

A zookeeper who didn't like to be named told Xinhua Monday that each cub is served meat to taste everyday.

Apart from the regular diet, he said the cubs are also being administered multi-vitamin and calciums.

The cubs have not been named yet and their gender is also yet to be identified.

Strict biosecurity measures have been adopted in and around their enclosure to ensure that the cubs remain disease free.
