Three-and-a-half-week-old female tiger cub, Daseep, is surrounded by photographers at the zoo of Frankfurt, central Germany, Wednesday. A Sumatra tiger cub born to a mother previously thought to be infertile is in good health at the Frankfurt Zoo in Germany. Zoo Director Manfred Niekisch says the female cub was born weighing just over one kilogram on Sept. 10 but has gained almost four kilograms from a steady milk diet. Niekisch said Wednesday the zoo keepers dubbed the baby Daseep and have been raising her by hand after her mother rejected her at birth — common for first-time tiger moms.
