TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY PRASHANT RAO Two three-month old Siberian tiger cubs wander in their enclosure at central Baghdad’s Al-Zawraa zoo on October 17, 2009. The Iraqi capital’s zoo is enjoying a boom, and not just in attendance — its Siberian tigers gave birth to twins this summer, part of a string of new arrivals fuelling the park’s expansion. In all, Al-Zawraa, once the biggest in the Middle East, currently houses more than 1,000 animals, a far cry from the dozen or so in the immediate aftermath of the 2003 US-led invasion, when hundreds of animals were killed, stolen or died of hunger and thirst in their cages.
