Original Toronto Star caption: Baby Bengal pulling through. Metro zoo keeper Diane Duncan feeds a 9-day-old Bengal tiger that is slowly regaining its health after being near death. The tiny female cub was removed from its mom; one of the rare ghost species; because it developed an infection and wasn't nursing.
