Two tiny Malayan Tiger cubs opened their eyes last weekend at the San Diego Zoo. Born to mom, Mek Degong, the two week old cubs represent hope for a species that has been reduced to about 500 individuals from 3,000 in the 1800s. After this check-up, the cubs were returned to the birthing den, a cozy room filled with straw, where they will stay and nurse for the next two months.

    These have got to be the cutest things I have EVER seen. I’m going to plan a trip to the San Diego Zoo next weekend. I wonder if they have any current zooborns.
