Hope of survival for rare tiger cubs

Twin Malayan tigers born in the Czech Republic have a good chance of survival, a zoo keeper has said.

The cubs - a male and a female - were born at Prague Zoo on October 3.

So far, only two European zoos have managed to breed the subspecies of tiger, most recently a zoo in Halle, Germany, in 2013.

There are only a few hundred Malayan tigers surviving in the wild in Asia and they are classified as critically endangered.
