A few weeks after they were born, a CM stood along the Maharaja Jungle Trek with an iPad showing video of them with their mom. They didn't even yet know if they were male or female. It will be interesting to see them live. I'm fascinated with big cats!

...Thank The Phoenicians!
Awesome - this will be the draw they've needed on that trail. It's been a bit less interesting since all the females were replaced by the one male/female couple. But now that they have the family ready, it's exactly what they wanted to be able to show in that exhibit!!! I know we'll be making a trip back to see them!
Thanks for the update!
