Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs（幼兽）that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don’t make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.

For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren’t there. I’m not sad about it. I’m hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them. 24. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home? A. To ensure their survival. B.
