Tiger cubs at the Virginia Zoo

So in case you hadn't heard: there are BABY TIGERS at the Virginia Zoo! The zoo's breeding program for this critically endangered species has prospered and been fruitful and now little 000 and 001 (temporary names for the tiger cubs) have taken up residence in our fair city. Every day at 1:00 PM the almost 10-week-old cubs are on display at the Animal Wellness Campus and put on a display they really do, at least the three times we've visited, rolling and tumbling and biting each other and playing with toys. Just generally being adorable. So exciting!

For those of you not in the area (or those of you who are but can't make it to the zoo on any given day), you can see our precious cubs on the Malayan Tiger Cub webcam here. As a general note, be sure to check the time that the tigers will be on display before you visit -- it changes as the cubs grow and their schedule changes.

Speaking of cubs, how big are these ones getting?


We love our zoo now more than ever!
