Two jaguar cubs have moved out of the den and into the open with their mother at The
Houston Zoo. The pair were born June 14th, and since then, they've been living off exhibit with mama Cocoy as they grew stronger and more confident.
Now, they're free to roam around and explore their mother's habitat. In the wild, jaguars usually have one to four cubs, which are born helpless and blind. They usually come out of the den after two weeks, and begin hunting with their mother at six months. You can check out live video of the cubs
here.
