WMBF News reports that (FOX Carolina) — The Greenville Zoo welcomes two new additions to the leopard enclosure.
Two healthy Amur leopard cubs were born on May 17 to first-time mother Irina and father Basha, the zoo said in a Facebook post.
“The cubs are healthy and eating well.
From our observation, Irina is a good mom and is taking care of them,” said Zoo Director Bill Cooper.
The zoo said the cubs are with Irina in a climate-controlled den and will not be handled by humans until they are at least six weeks old.
“This is a best practice,” Cooper said.
