EXCLUSIVE New tiger cubs give hope to save their species
Apr 6th 2008
Facing the cameras may be one big yawn for these tiger cubs - but then they don't realise they may be the future of their species.
The two little fellas are South China tigers, the most endangered of all.
Their numbers have fallen from 4,000 in the early 1950s to fewer than 100 today - and most of them are in zoos, with perhaps just 10 in the wild. It's only through a unique breeding programme that the animals stand a chance of surviving extinction.
