An 11-year-old Manchurian tiger has given birth to quintuplets in a park in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. The mother is a star in the breeding center of the park since she is now a third-time mother, giving birth to quadruplets in 2014 and quintuplets in 2015. Breeders say it is not so common for the tiger to give birth to this number of babies at one time. The mother tiger, busy taking care of the two male and three female tiger cubs, eats as many as 20 eggs per meal, usually alongside goat's milk for nutrition. These quintuplets shows that China has the correct experience in terms of breeding Manchurian tigers.
