Two Amur leopard cubs have been born at San Diego Zoo, a first for the rare species.
Four-year-old mother Satka gave birth on April 5, and the two cubs have been exploring their den and greeting the public.
The zoo has released a video showcasing the baby leopards playing together and exploring.
“As the cubs get older, we will begin to build a relationship with them. But the highest priority right now is the relationship they have with each other and with their mother.”

The two babies have been bred as part of an international conservation and breeding effort.
