A private zoo in Taiwan has become the island's first to breed "ligers" - a hybrid of a lion and a tigress - but officials seized the cubs and said they may fine the owner.
The three liger cubs were born on Sunday at the World Snake King Education Farm, but one of them died almost immediately.
The zoo said the pregnancy of the tigress had come as a surprise as the pair had shared a cage for more than six years without incident.
Crosses between a lioness and male tiger, called a tiglon, can also occur.
So cute! I really like this Tiglon picture.
