The Philadelphia Zoo welcomes two recused puma cubs named Elbroch and Olympia.
Elbroch is bigger than his sister and loves to explore while Olympia likes to follow along looking for her brother's reassurance, according to the zoo.
“Part of our mission at the Zoo is to connect people with animals to inspire action for wildlife and habitats,” Vice President of Animal Well-Being Rachel Metz said. “We hope that all the guests who meet our puma cubs will learn their story and understand the importance of preserving wild places so that humans and wildlife can thrive together.”
The zoo said pumas can be found across North and South America and have over 200 names because"they inhabit the largest geographical region of any other cat in the world."This is not the first time the zoo has taken in orphaned cubs. Back in 2005, Dakota, Sage and Cinnabar were rescued from the wild in South Dakota. All three pumas have since passed away from age-related causes, according to the zoo.
The zoo is hosting a Big Cat Weekend on Saturday, Sept. 23 and Sunday, Sept. 24 to honor the two new cubs. Visitors can connect with the conservation education team to learn all about big cats.
