Triplet white tiger cubs born at Tbilisi Zoo

Tbilisi Zoo is celebrating the birth of three newborn white tiger cubs.

A white Bengal tiger named Cameroon gave birth to three pink-nosed fluffy tiger cubs in the past few days.

The mother and newborn cubs were feeling fine and healthy, a Zoo administration official said. It is not yet known what gender the cubs are.

"The baby tigers are active and with closed eyes they are always searching for Mom’s nipple. Once they find them, the cubs stick to them, suckle as much as they can and then they fall asleep happily,” the Zoo wrote on its Facebook page.

The cubs’ father Maximus, a "huge and formidable” tiger, was slightly troubled by the situation, the Zoo said.

"He cannot understand what an important business is going on because of which his beautiful wife has no time for him,” Tbilisi Zoo wrote.

This year, Tbilisi Zoo has welcomed numerous newborn animals. A tiger named Salimagave birth to three tiger cubs in April and Cleopatra, a white lion, gave birth to four rare white lion cubs in December. Earlier, Cameroon, the same white tiger, gave birth to three babies.

In January, a Green Python Morelia Viridis, also known as a Dragon-like green snake, was welcomed to Tbilisi Zoo. Its arrival followed the birth of a zebra foal a week earlier.
