Chinese zoo debuts six playful tiger cubs

A zoo in China is celebrating National Day by debuting its six baby tiger cubs to the public.

The playful cubs cuddled and nuzzled each other for admiring crowds as floods of tourists visited the zoo.

The tiny tigers are only two months old but already have a large appetite, eating several kilos of beef a day.

A zoo worker said they have even had to start giving the cubs an extra meal each afternoon.

“They are lovely,” one visitor told CCTV News.

“I used to see adult tigers and now I am seeing little ones and they are so lovely.”
