Amur tigers

New York's Bronx Zoo is celebrating the first birthdays of six tiger cubs, two sets of triplets born in the spring of 2010. Now that they're more than a year old they are considered adolescents. Seen here are three Amur tigers, a Malayan breed. The zoo says there are fewer than 3,500 tigers in the wild, 1,000 of which are breeding females. (Julie Larsen Maher/WCS)

Tiger cubs

The Bali Zoo recently welcomed three female tiger cubs to its feline family. Here two of them, age two-and-a-half months, eat a lunch of chicken, milk and vitamins, with ABC News' Dan Harris looking on. Tigers are endangered, some subspecies critically so, by habitat destruction (mainly for logging and agriculture) and poaching. (ABC News)
