The twins were birthed by Sukacita and fathered by Kusasa, the same parents whose cub Sumini was born in early August.

The new twins have not been named yet. While Sumini has recently been allowed to move out into open areas of the tiger exhibit, her baby sister and brother will be kept behind the scenes for awhile yet.
