Cleopatra the white lioness gives birth to three cubs one year after Tbilisi zoo lost 281 animals following devastating floods.
Have you ever heard of a liger? For those who haven't, it's a hybrid crossbreed between a male lion and female tiger, and it's among the rarest of large cats. This two-month old baby liger cub named Tsar was born in the Russian town of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky from a lion named Caesar and a tigress named Princess.
Vets were hand-feeding the tiny Amur leopard baby at the Yalta Zoo, as the cub is still too young to open its eyes or even walk on four legs. Only 57 Amur leopards, which are listed as "Critically Endangered," are believed to live in the wild as of 2015. Despite the fact that Amur leopard numbers have roughly doubled since 2007, they are still the species of large felines most vulnerable to extinction.
Footage courtesy of Sea World on Australia's Gold Cost from April 27 shows the adorable moments that 16-year-old mother bear Liya cuddled up to her newborn polar bear cub twins. The infant cubs, two males called Hudson and Nelson, are still very fragile and are suckling from their mum inside the maternity den to gain strength. The little tykes weigh just over one pound and are about 5 inches long. However, they will grow to be among the largest land animals in the world. Adult male polar bears can weigh over 1,500 pounds and reach nearly 10 feet in length.
