Chester Zoo welcomes birth of 'incredibly special' tiger cubs

A hidden camera caught the moment a critically endangered tiger gave birth to a pair of cubs.

Chester Zoo welcomed the birth of the Sumatran tiger cub twins last month and said it represented a "significant step" in the conservation of the species. Sumatran tigers are listed as critically endangered, with less than 350 of the species living in the wild.
