It was bound to happen. Butterstick, the National Zoo’s resident mound of animal cuteness (a panda cub, to be exact), has ceased being the cutest thing to hit Woodley Park since, well, ever.

May 24 yielded the birth of a litter of three tiger cubs, the offspring of local Sumatran Tigers Soyono and Rokan. And while the cubs will be kept from the public for the months to come, the hyper-voyeuristic folks at the National Zoo have already set up a webcam in the den where the cubs are being housed. So far, only the dues-paying Friends of the National Zoo have been tipped off to the cam. Well, until now. Sorry.

Given that the still genderless tiger cubs (zoo vets have not yet been able to given them a once over) are but a few days old, they’re already loads more active than Butterstick was at the same age. And considering how short our collective attention spans are, it’s only a matter of time before we’re crashing the zoo’s website trying to catch a glimpse of the cubs, lining up in ungodly weather to see them for minutes at a time, or putting far too much money into cheesy zoo merchandise covered with their likenesses. Let’s also be honest, here — Butterstick’s reign of cuteness is finally over.

As you spend time away from real work watching the cubs, consider this — to date, they’re nameless. We never got the zoo to warm up to Butterstick, but if we act quickly enough we can surely name the cubs.
