MILWAUKEE — The zookeepers at the Milwaukee County Zoo are hand-raising a lone Amur tiger cub — an unusual undertaking only done in order to save the cub's life.
Vets and zookeepers had to give special one-on-one care to then-10-pound cub named Kashtan after he developed an infection that killed one of his three sisters. They had considered returning him after about a week, but they didn't trust mother Amba would allow him to be removed five times a day for feedings.
