VIDEO: Sumatran tiger cubs doing well in North Yorkshire

Three critically endangered tiger cubs, born in North Yorkshire as part of a special breeding programme, have become a crucial part of the world-wide conservation effort.

The Sumatran tiger cubs arrived at Flamingo land in March and have spent the last few months bonding and growing alongside their mother.

Sumatran tigers are an endangered species with only an estimated 400 left in the wild.
