In a 'major win,' 2 Sumatran tiger cubs are born at the Dallas Zoo

It's cuteness overload at the Dallas Zoo, where two Sumatran tiger cubs were born earlier this month.

The healthy cubs — a male and a female — were born on Dec. 6, each weighing about 2 pounds, the zoo announced Monday. Their mom is Suki and their dad is Kuasa, making them full siblings to Sumini, a cub born over the summer. Sumini was the first tiger born at the Dallas Zoo since 1948.
