Special milk was being purchased from Islamabad and was being fed twice a day to the cubs, he said. He said that the four cubs were healthy and were playing together in the cage they were born in. The mother was being attended to as well, he said.

The tigress that gave birth to the cubs was also born in the Bahawalpur Zoo.

Bilal Mirza, it is incorrect to place a comma after 'At least'! Glad to see births occurring at Pakistani zoos! More often than not, we are just informed about deaths.
