Tiger Cubs

     Baby tigers are called cubs. A mother tiger most often has two or three cubs at a time. When tiger cubs are born they weigh about 2.2 pounds (1 kg). Cubs are born with their eyes closed. After a week or two, the cubs' eyes will open and they can see.

     Tiger cubs drink their morther's milk until they are about six months old. At six to eight weeks old, they start to eat meat.
