Cuban zoo celebrates birth of Bengal tigers amid energy crisis
- For the Cuban zookeeper Ángel Cordero, the sight of four Bengal tiger cubs playing in a cage at the Cuban national zoo is a small miracle on an island stifled by shortages of fuel, medicine and days-long power outages.
- The birth of these endangered big cats – including an exceedingly rare white tiger – has revitalised a team of zoo workers, he said.
- “It’s only the second time” white tigers have been born in Cuba, he said, gleaming with pride despite the heat and strain of dealing with seemingly endless problems.
