The new cubs Rudi and Nety were born in early December, four months after their mom and dad produced a big sister named Sumini.

Nety and Rudi are named after two conservationists playing a big role in protecting endangered tigers on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

While Sumini has been venturing out to be viewed by Dallas Zoo patrons, Rudi and Nety are still being kept out of sight for the time being.
