A kitten is cute. A tiger cub is cuter. Three tiger cubs playing together is basically the pinnacle of cuteness.

This week, three tiger cubs, born March 16, made their debut at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio.

The cubs, Metis, Callisto, and Elara, seemed to enjoy their new home, playing in the mud with each other and their mom, Irisa.

The cubs are Amur tigers (also known as Siberian tigers), an endangered species. There are only about 450 tigers left in the wild.
