TIGER CUBS WILL CELEBRATE THEIR FIRST HOLIDAY SEASON
West Palm Beach, Florida, December 19, 2011 – Three Malayan tiger cubs born at the Palm Beach Zoo in May will be celebrating their first holiday season with some very special gifts. The tiger cubs will be presented with an evergreen tree decorated with various edible ornaments suitable for little tigers. The decorations will include tasty treats as well as some intriguing fragrances. They will also receive some new “toys” – natural items like coconuts, palm fronds and logs – all decorated to look like wrapped gifts. Since the cubs love to play in the water, it is likely that many of these will soon become pool toys.
Reporters, photographers, and camera crews are invited to come and watch the fun.
WHEN: Thursday December 22, 2011 – 10:00 a.m.
WHERE: Tiger Falls exhibit at the Palm Beach Zoo – 1301 Summit Boulevard, West Palm Beach, Fl.
