Zoo officials say the very first few days after birth are a vital time for bonding in between mama and cubs. So, zoo visitors will not be able to see the new cubs right away.

" While tigers are singular animals, mom tigers generally raise their young for their first 2 years. Mom and cubs are anticipated to stay behind the scenes in their maternal den for the first couple of months before the cubs are old adequate to begin exploring the outside habitats of Rosebrough Tiger Passage," stated zoo authorities in a press release.

The zoo's care groups will continue to observe the animals, but up until now, they state, the team has kept in mind a number of favorable developmental habits including nursing and grooming.
