PARADISE Country has welcomed an adorable duo of tiger cubs for a limited time over the school holidays.

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.
