Three south China tiger（老虎 lǎohǔ） cubs met with the public for the first time in a zoo（动物园 dòngwùyuán） of Luoyang, central China's Henan Province. The south China tiger falls under the country’s first-class national protection and has been listed as a critically endangered species by IUCN. China is the only habitat（栖息地 qīxī dì） for south China tigers. Around 200 of the tigers are alive, and all are descendants of just six south China tigers, so the possibility of genetic diseases is quite high.
