<p><br /> Six tiger cubs, including three Amur and three Malayan tigers, have made their debut at New York's Bronx zoo on Thursday in what zoo-keepers hope will attract more visitors to the century-old attraction.<br /> </p><p><br /> The tigers are a rare site with the last litter of Amur tigers born there more than 13 years ago. Malayan cubs have never exhibited before at the zoo.<br /> </p><p><br /> The arrival of the cubs has brought a new dynamic to the popular Tiger Mountain exhibit as it will be the first time zoo-goers will be able to see Amur and Malayan tigers in adjacent exhibits, allowing them to compare differences in size and colour.<br /> </p><p><br /> Tigers are a critically endangered species, with fewer than 3,500 remaining in the wild - only 1,000 of which are breeding females.<br /> </p><p><br /> Most of the tigers' host countries are poor and conservation is not the top priority.<br /> </p><p><br /> The Bronx Zoo wants the six tiger cubs to be seen as ambassadors for their species.<br /> </p>
