White tiger cubs debut today at Lowry Park Zoo
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- The two white tiger cubs born last month at Lowry Park Zoo are set to make their debut to the public today.
The cubs will be introduced to their Asian Gardens exhibit with their mother Nikki today, zoo officials said.
Since the birth, the family has been spending time together off the exhibit for privacy during bonding, according to a zoo spokesman.
An unusual gene produces the rare white tigers.
The cubs, a male and a female, have not been named yet.
