Wade, put your glasses on. Those don't look like baby tigers to me. LOL Seriously, are baby tigers not usually born in winter? I must admit ignorance on that one. Domestic kittens are usually born between Easter and Halloween (approximately), so finding one anywhere at Christmas is a rarity.

Mary Ann,
In captivity, it is dependent on when the female is bred, when they are born.

Wade, I'm not an expert on tigers, but those look more like sheep to me.

Jeannie,
The zoologist who labeled the picture must have done what I just tried. Took my glasses off, stepped back 10 feet, and look again. The wrinkles in the blanket on the one on the right "kinda" look like stripes. I think the zoologist just made an understandable mistake. LOL
