In little more than a week, the Sumatran Tiger cubs who were born to Chelsea July 5, will be seen by the viewing public at Zoo Atlanta.

The boy and girl pair, named Sanjiv and Sohni, respectively, are treasure in the world of big cats because Sumatran tigers are so rare and critically endangered.

Loss of habitat on Indonesia's Sumatra Island — the only place on Earth those tigers are found — has decimated their populations. Fewer than 400 are believed to exist in the wild.

On Wednesday, Zoo Atlanta gave East Atlanta Patch and other media a sneak peek at the cubs, now eight weeks old, as Rebecca Snyder, the zoo's curator of mammals explained where they are in development and what their days are like.
