Ultimate Squee

The thing I miss most about being under par is my regular visits to the zoo.

Then on Wednesday I heard the news - Melati, the little Sumatran tiger, had given birth to her big boyfriend Jae Jae's cub.

They still don't know the sex. But they had cameras set up to keep an eye on things, and filmed the birth, Melati's first maternal actions, and the cub's scrabblings to join mum while she watched in apparent disbelief.

They say she's being a great mum, and will bring the baby out when she's ready.
