PARADISE Country has welcomed an adorable duo of tiger cubs for a limited time over the school holidays.
Female cubs Maliah and Melah will be staying in the park’s newly designed Global Conservation Centre.
Their visit is part of Paradise Country’s “Save a Mate” conservation program, which focuses on raising awareness and much needed funds for both Australian wildlife and animals around the world.
Village Roadshow Theme Parks COO Bikash Randhawa said the cubs will be great ambassadors for their species until early October.
“The cubs were born on the 13th May and currently weigh four kilograms with their diet consisting of a special milk formula,” he said.

“These tiger cubs are ambassadors for their wild cousins and will help raise awareness and funds for tiger conservation through our in-park educational and fundraising efforts.
