When these two rescued tiger cubs named Spot and Stripe met an adult tiger named Maneki for the first time, it was a very cute moment.

At first, the two cubs were unsurprisingly nervous but as soon as they saw the nine-year-old large tiger, they started chuffing at each other, which is a good sign according to Zookeeper Giles Clark.

It was a significant moment for the cubs because they know that they will receive a warm welcome from Maneki once they're big enough to join her.
