AT HOME IN CHINA: The royal Bengal tiger.
A Bengal tiger cub snuggles up to its mother
at a wild zoo in Jinan, the capital of
east China's Shandong Province. Four
two-month-old Bengal tiger cubs made an appearance
with their mother at the zoo recently.
The eight-year-old Bengal tiger has given
birth to 12 cubs, nine of which are white tigers.
The zoo opened a "wild animals kindergarten'
last year, for children to get close to animals.
They get an opportunity to feed tiger cubs and
feel their fur.
The Jinan Zoological Park is one of the
large-scale zoos in China with a history of over
40 years. With the support of enthusiastic
friends from all walks of life, it has become a
comprehensive zoo embodying animal keeping,
entertainment and scientific research. In
1995, it was named one of the "Top Ten Zoos in
China".
