Tiger cubs
Harbin - XINHUA
China's largest Siberian tiger breeding center -- Heilongjiang Siberian Tiger Park announced on Sunday that over 50 tiger cubs were born there this year.
Located in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, the park has over 1,000 Siberian tigers. Scientists handpick certain tigers, using a DNA database, to breed the next generation every year.
Liu Dan, chief engineer of the park, said the park has been controlling the tigers' population to around 1,000 in order to maintain the ecological balance.
The peak season for the breeding of Siberian tigers is in May and June. The cubs would be sent to a semi-wild environment of the park after living with their mothers for some 100 days, so that they can learn to run and hunt.
Siberian tigers are among the world's most endangered species. They mostly live in northeast China and eastern Russia. The Heilongjiang Siberian Tiger Park was established in 1986 for better protection of the species.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
