The zoo says the twins were born on June 11 and were kept with their mother in nursery before moving them to their public habitat in October.
The zoo adds the two cubs are born to parents “Udaya” and “Linus.”
“This is the first successful birth for Udaya and Linus who were paired through the Species Survival Plan (SSP) Program in 2019 to continue the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo’s legacy of breeding this Endangered species,” said the zoo.
