Zoo staff help raise a Siberian tiger cub at Tiger Forest Park, northeast China's Jinlin Province, June 26, 2003, as its mother rests in the background. Born less than a month ago, the cub and nine others, also born in the past month, are doing well.

An endangered species, the Siberian tiger has seen its number decline to below 20 in China.
