What:
Want to find out the most current information about Woodland Park Zoo’s endangered Sumatran tiger cubs? Beginning Saturday, October 23, be sure to attend one of the special video-illustrated keeper talks about the zoo’s newest tiger cubs born September 13. Each presentation will last about a half hour with 15 minutes devoted to cub updates, and 15 minutes to questions and answers about the endangered cubs.

The zoo's priority is to ensure the health and well-being of both mother and cubs by providing the best possible health care and a hushed, comfortable environment that is off view to the public. Zoo visitors may watch taped video footage of the cubs via a monitor in the corridor of the zoo's Adaptations Building. The father can be viewed in the tiger grotto outside the same building during zoo hours. Additional video and other updates are provided on our Web site in the Species Spotlight section.

The talks begin Saturday, October 23, 1:30-2:00 p.m.
