June 01, 2011 --These sleepy Sumatran tiger cubs made their public debut in Frankfurt, Germany on May 25, 2011.

Their mother is the Frankfurt Zoo's Sumatran tiger, Malea, who can be see in the photo below giving one of the cubs a bath. Tiger cubs often stay with their mothers for about a year and a half, before going venturing off on their own.
