The city of Pittsburgh is lucky enough to be one of the best zoos in the whole country. Rare types of tiger are Amur cubs and the Pittsburgh zoo is lucky enough to have three of them. The three cubs are just over a year old now and throughout the whole United States their are only six of these cubs total that are one year old. The surprising thing is that half of those cubs are all in the same zoo and that just so happens to be in the Pittsburgh zoo. A collector stamp has just be created with the Amur cubs picture on it to gain awareness to the fact that there are very few of these cubs left and they could be all gone before our lifetime as humans is over. People are hoping by bringing awareness to others that more people will try and help save this rare type of tiger so many more generations of people will have the opportunity to see them. Below is a picture of the stamp everyone can buy to help promote saving these rare tigers that we as a city are lucky enough to have three of!
Steph, I really like the background the blog and how the colors all work good together. Those tigers at the zoo sound pretty cool and I cannot remember the last time I was at the zoo. I like the whole Pittsburgh theme, keep it up.
