Two tigers of rare Bengal species (Panthera tigris tigris) held in captivity at the Vuon Xoai (Mango Garden) Ecotourism Site in Bien Hoa city, the southern province of Dong Nai, have recently given birth to seven cubs, according to the Bien Hoa Ranger Unit. One of the tigresses gave birth to triplets, while the other to quadruplets. With the new cubs, the number of tigers bred at the ecotourism area increased to 53. The Vuon Xoai Ecotourism Site is currently home to nearly 10,700 wild animals, including a number of endangered animals such as Bengal tigers, white lions, brown bears, panthers, flamingoes, South American parrots, rhinoceros, and red pandas, among others. The Bengal tiger is one of the six rarest tiger species on the planet, including Malay tigers, South Chinese tigers, Indochinese tigers, Sumatran tigers, and Siberian tigers. Photo by courtesy/VNA
