One tiger mama at the Minnesota Zoo had an extra special Mother's Day this year when she gave birth to a litter of cubs. 

According to a release from the Minnesota Zoo, Sundari (or Dari), the zoo's adult female Amur tiger, gave birth to four cubs on May 8. Sadly, one of the cubs did not survive the delivery, which is not uncommon for larger big cat litters. 

The three surviving cubs — two males and a female — remain in a behind-the-scenes habitat with their mother, where the furry family is bonding well.

"Dari has proven to be an incredible mother to these cubs," Dr. Taylor Yaw, the chief animal care, health, and conservation officer at the Minnesota Zoo, said in a statement. "She has been attentive, nursing around the clock, and keeping the cubs groomed and by her side. The deep bond and trust that our keepers have formed with Dari over the years has allowed us to monitor the cubs and safely separate her from the cubs in order to perform routine health checks."
