Name the tiger cubs!
Visitors to Dublin Zoo in recent weeks have been captivated by the two Sumatran tiger cubs that were born on 29th August 2009. The yet unnamed cubs, one male and one female, are now nearly 3 months old and are a most precious addition to Dublin Zoo as the Sumatran Tiger is a critically endangered species – only a few hundred survive in the wild.
Dublin Zoo is launching a nationwide competition in conjunction with BTKids to find a name for both tiger cubs! The naming competition is open now and will close on Wednesday 16th September 2009.
To enter simply email your suggestions to info@dublinzoo.ie or pop into any BTKids store located in Dublin, Cork or Limerick to submit!
