Baby Watch Underway At The Pittsburgh Zoo

LIVE ZOO CAM: Start Watching Our New Zoo Cam Now! (Powered by Consolidated Communications)

Watch the polar bears by day (until 4:30pm) and the tigers by night (after 4:30pm)!

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― The cub watch is on at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium, where officials are hoping a mating will enlarge one species family.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says zookeepers are keeping a close eye on rare Amur Tigers Globus and Toma.

They're hoping Toma is pregnant.

She mated with Globus in late January and there are some signs that she may be expecting.

For example, she's cranky and hungrier than usual, like the first time that she was pregnant.

Amur Tigers formerly called Siberian Tigers are endangered.

There are only 190 tigers in U.S. zoos and less than 400 in the wild.
