TACOMA, Wash. -- The pitter patter of little paws can be heard around Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma - eight new paws to be exact. 

Two new Sumatran Tiger cubs were born on May 25, 2010.  Today is a big day for the cubs as they officially received their names that have been voted on by the public, announced live on KING 5 Morning News.
  
Weighing two pounds at birth, these cubs are expected to grow to be between 200-300 pounds each.  This addition is significant because fewer than 300 Sumatran Tigers exist worldwide.
 
For viewing times visit the Point Defiance Zoo’s website at www.pdza.org.

@Davesea.... Every thing that is safe for families to do things together gets shut down! Why close the zoo? They actually help and re-habilitate injured animals... Too bad you don't have the heart to care about that!
