So, I was reading an article on a good news site, and Lord don't we all need that these days? It referenced Sumatran tiger cubs born there. There are thought to be only 400 left in the wild. So, this was really a great result from the breeding program and hopefully will help t keep the species populating. YOu can read more about it here.

Well yeah, maybe with others in captivity. If they mated with each other it would be genetic inbreeding.
