Vis­i­tors to the Colum­bus Zoo and Aquar­ium on Tues­day maneu­ver to get a look at the zoo’s lat­est attrac­tion — two seven-week-old male Amur tiger cubs. The rare tigers are the first Amur, also known as Siber­ian, cubs ever born at the zoo; the last birth of any tiger species at the zoo occurred in 1990. Fewer than 500 Amur tigers are believed to exist in their native envi­ron­ment in the Russ­ian Far East. (GAZETTE | Devon Immelt)
