Fiercely Feline: Critically Endangered Siberian Tiger Cubs Born (Video)

"The Siberian tiger population has officially increased thanks to the recent birth of five adorable cubs at Six Flags Wild Safari in New Jersey. The species is endangered, and there are less than 500 Siberian tigers left in the wild. A park vet says without humans, they could go extinct. 'It's our responsibility to care for them and preserve the species here on earth,' he said." Via Inside Edition. 

Approximately 350-400 adult Siberian or Amur tigers are left in the wild, with 95% of these individuals inhabiting the forests of the Russian Far East, where they play a critical role in both the ecosystem and local culture. As you can tell from this encouraging video, these big felines are absolutely adorable, and have such a role to play in their respective ecosystems. Though it was via human interaction that likely led to the specie's endangerment, humans are now fighting the good fight and trying to save this gorgeous feline species from extinction.
