The Bronx Zoo debuted two new snow leopard cubs! The animals are one of the world's most elusive big cats that is rarely seen in the wild.

The cubs, one male and one female, were born this summer to mother Dariga and father Naltar.

Naltar is the offspring of Leo who came to the Bronx Zoo in 2006 after being rescued as an orphaned cub in Pakistan.

They haven't been named yet, but zookeepers are brainstorming different name ideas that best match the cubs' personalities.
