Tiger cubs born at Tiger island attraction

THE pitter-patter of little paws is being heard at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, with the birth of three tiger cubs at the theme park's Tiger island attraction.
A Sumatran tigress named Soraya delivered the litter between 7.30 and 11.30 this morning at the theme park's Tiger island attraction.

Mother and cubs were reported to be doing 'really well', according to a Dreamworld spokeswoman.
She said tiger handlers were not yet able to get close enough to the cubs to determine their sex.
It will be Soraya's second lot of offspring born at Dreamworld, after she gave birth to two female cubs, Rahni and Indah, in April last year. Tiger island inhabitant Raja is believed to havefathered both litters.

The birth is the third at Dreamworld and will help boost the captive population of Sumatran tigers, of which only about 400 are left in the wild due to poaching and habitat loss.
The new cubs will be playmates for Sali, an orphan Sumatran tiger cub adopted by Dreamworld from the Perth Zoo last month.

Pringles designer buried in a can

CINCINNATI (AP) — The man who designed the Pringles potato crisp packaging system was so proud of his accomplishment that a portion of his ashes has been buried in one of the iconic cans.
Fredric J. Baur, of Cincinnati, died May 4 at Vitas Hospice in Cincinnati, his family said. He was 89.
Baur's children said they honored his request to bury him in one of the cans by placing part of his cremated remains in a Pringles container in his grave in suburban Springfield Township. The rest of his remains were placed in an urn buried along with the can, with some placed in another urn and given to a grandson, said Baur's daughter, Linda Baur of Diamondhead, Miss.
Baur requested the burial arrangement because he was proud of his design of the Pringles container, a son, Lawrence Baur of Stevensville, Mich., said Monday.
Baur was an organic chemist and food storage technician who specialized in research and development and quality control for Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co.
Baur filed for a patent for the tubular Pringles container and for the method of packaging the curved, stacked chips in the container in 1966, and it was granted in 1970, P&G archivist Ed Rider said.
