CGTN

Journalists and cameramen enjoyed plenty of cuteness from seven tiger cubs in Yunnan Safari Park during the animals' first meeting with the media. 

The seven newborns comprise five Siberian tigers and two white Bengal tigers. The youngest are twin female Siberian tigers who were born on November 2 last year.

Since their mother is a new mom who lacks of experience in feeding, the two cubs are currently being nursed by their two-legged human mothers. Due to the insufficient nutrition in the breast milk, the cubs are also given chicken in small pieces.

The other five tiger cubs are bigger in size. They grow very fast after feeding on their mother's breast milk and chicken.
