Original Toronto Star caption: Trio of new tigers in Toronto. Come any nearer and we'll get the old man; Riverdale Zoo's 12-week-old tiger cubs seem to be telling the photographer. The old man is Tuan and the mother is Setu; the first tiger born in Canada. These cubs; two males and a female; are the third litter born to Tuan and Setu. They'll be sent soom to other zoos because space is short at Riverdale. Meanwhile; they eat a couple of pounds of horse meat a day.
