Zoos SA chief executive Elaine Bensted said the births mark a "significant moment" in conservation as the species has less than 400 surviving adults remain in the wild."Delilah and Kembali's cubs are vital to ensuring strong genetics in the breeding program and indeed the future of the species," Bensted said.
"With unsustainable plantations and humans encroaching on the tiger's habitat in Sumatra the situation is looking pretty bleak for this, the smallest tiger species."Keepers will not determine the sex of the little cubs until their first health check at approximately two to four weeks old.
