KEY POINTS:
Auckland Zoo's three Sumatran tiger cubs have made their first public appearance.
The 14-week-old cubs have been allowed outside for the last few weeks, but away from the public gaze.
The Zoo's carnivore team leader, Andrew Coers, believes the cubs are now confident enough for public viewing.
However, he warned zoo visitors might have to be patient as the cubs tired easily so tended to head back inside for a rest after about 20 minutes of playing outside.
