    When I followed the link, that entry said there were two cubs, the mother wasn’t caring for them, they were removed for hand raising, and one died. I clicked the link for all Minnesota Zoo stories and didn’t find an entry about another tiger birth.
    Where’d the second baby come from?

    Thank you! What a coincidence; this is the same situation as the one at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium, also the subject of a current ZooBorns blog entry, except in this case the tigers are the exact same species (which may or may not make it an even better match, but might).
    Thanks for the link.
