Liger Cub Born in Russia – level 2

06-02-2017 15:00

A Russian zoo had a female tiger but no male tigers, so zookeepers put her with a male lion. The tiger gave birth to a liger, which is one of 30 cubs to be born to a tigress mother and a lion father.

The cub has big blue eyes and is very cute, but he will grow to be bigger than his parents. The heaviest liger is over 400 kilograms. The cub is drinking milk from the zoo’s goat to help him grow.

Difficult words: cub (a baby animal such as a bear or a big cat), tigress (a female tiger).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
