Learning to Nap

Tiger cubs learn about life from their mom. Here they are learning to nap. :-)

 

Napping with Mom, the four 4-mo tiger cubs were just so adorable!!

They were born to mom, Kyra, and dad, Vaska at the Peoria (Illinois) Zoo, on 24 June 2012.

The cubs, 2 girls, 2 boys, were named Maxim, Luca, Nikita, Sasha.

 

I did get to see them play later in the afternoon. Their ID shots are shown below.
