Jacksonville Zoo tiger Cinta gives birth to three cubs

There are estimated to be less than 150 Malayan tigers in left in the wild. Now, there are three more.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens is helping to save endangered tigers. There are only 150 Malayan tigers left worldwide, but now there are three more.

We have new mom Cinta to thank for that. 

The zoo last updated on her pregnancy in a week ago, prompting locals to follow along the journey. Cinta had three pups on Sunday, the zoo has now announced.

A Facebook post says that Cinta is a great mom so far, "grooming and allowing the cubs to nruse." 

Zookeepers are monitoring them, but for now, the new family is being given their privacy.

Congratulations, Cinta!
