Damai brings the cubs up to see Kavi most mornings now. Traveling around the building is a great way to develop their strength and coordination. We are even starting to see the cubs playing together. They are not very good at pouncing on each other yet, but it’s a lot of fun to watch them try!

A sloth bear cub and a seal pup by any other name would still be as sweet, but our keepers chose the perfect names for them. Our sloth bear cub is named Remi and our seal pup is named Rona!

Just before midnight on May 17, the mewling of a newborn kitten delighted keepers at the National Zoo’s Asia Trail. The kitten’s mother, Electra, had two kittens last year on May 18 (see below for more information on last year’s births).

Our fishing cat kitten has a spicy personality—and a name to match! Animal care staff has given the kitten the name „Wasabi.“ Wasabi recently had his/her first fishing lesson with mother Electra.

Our fishing cat kitten, Wasabi, and his mom, Electra, are now on exhibit daily at Asia Trail’s fishing cat exhibit. Lek (Wasabi’s dad), is on exhibit in the second yard. Wasabi was born May 17, but had to wait to go into the outdoor exhibit until all of his vaccinations were up to date.
