A female liger and a male tiger gave birth to three babies for the first time in China.
In the video, filmed in a zoo at Zhongshan Park in central China's Hubei Province on April 26, one offspring of the male tiger and the female liger was heard roaring and crawling around in a paper box at the animal nursery.
The zookeepers used a milk bottle to feed the animal and cleaned its body.
According to reports, the male tiger and the female liger had three babies but two of them died. The keeper then decided to artificially feed the only survivor.
The zoo director said: "There are ligers and tigons in China but we did not have ligers giving birth to babies before."
