Two Amur leopard cubs have ventured outside for the very first time at Brookfield Zoo Chicago.
The sisters, born on 14 July to first-time mother Mina, are just four months old. They have been seen leaping into piles of leaves and scrambling up branches. Amur leopards are known for their agility and stealth, often resting on rocky ledges or in trees to monitor their environment and avoid potential threats.
“The cubs are bold, curious and love to climb, already getting comfortable on the upper rocks in their new habitat,” said Racquel Ardisana, associate director of carnivore care and conservation at Brookfield Zoo Chicago. “There are a lot of new sights, sounds and scents for them to take in. When one initially came to explore the habitat’s ground level, she hissed while pawing at the grass - a texture she’s seeing for the first time!”
Before their public debut, the cubs had been developing behind the scenes under the close supervision of the zoo’s animal care team. Building confidence on climbing structures was considered a key milestone before they were introduced to visitors.
Their arrival represents a significant boost for a species whose wild population is believed to number fewer than 100. The cubs are the first litter for six-year-old Mina and are regarded as an important step in the zoo’s efforts to protect one of the planet’s most endangered big cats. The births support the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan, which works to maintain healthy and genetically diverse populations of threatened species in accredited institutions.
Native to the forests of eastern Russia, Amur leopards have thick coats and long tails to withstand harsh winters - conditions that make Chicago feel surprisingly familiar.
The sisters have yet to be named, but the zoo says big cat fans will not have long to wait, with details to be announced on social media.

Um sich vor Fressfeinden zu schützen: Der Panama-Stummelfussfrosch ist eine der giftigsten Amphibien der Welt
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**
This beautiful, striking amphibian may look attractive but its skin carries toxins potent enough to kill up to 1,200 mice.
The Panamanian Golden Frog is critically endangered to the extent it is now thought to possibly be extinct in the wild. As such it is celebrated each year on 14 August - Panamanian Golden Frog Day, as conservationists aim to raise awareness of its plight.
Five of these critically endangered amphibians are being looked after at Brookfield Zoo Chicago.
Despite their name, the tiny amphibians, measuring just 2.5 to 5cm, are actually toads, rebranded as frogs to avoid confusion with the now-extinct golden toad.
In Panama, despite their struggles to survive, they are a national symbol and considered a sign of good luck.
Their vivid colours range from neon yellow and orange to yellowish green, patterned with black spots and stripes - a warning to predators of their deadly nature.
Naturally found in montane (mountain) forests and forest streams, the toads communicate not only through chirping sounds, which they sense without eardrums via sound waves, but also through physical gestures such as waving their limbs to greet others, attract mates or defend territory.
At Brookfield Zoo it is part of a Species Survival Plan – a cooperative breeding programme aimed at preserving a healthy, genetically diverse and self-sustaining population that can preserve the species’ future.

This beautiful, striking amphibian may look attractive but its skin carries toxins potent enough to kill up to 1,200 mice.
The Panamanian Golden Frog is critically endangered to the extent it is now thought to possibly be extinct in the wild. As such it is celebrated each year on 14 August - Panamanian Golden Frog Day, as conservationists aim to raise awareness of its plight.
Five of these critically endangered amphibians are being looked after at Brookfield Zoo Chicago.
Despite their name, the tiny amphibians, measuring just 2.5 to 5cm, are actually toads, rebranded as frogs to avoid confusion with the now-extinct golden toad.
In Panama, despite their struggles to survive, they are a national symbol and considered a sign of good luck.
Their vivid colours range from neon yellow and orange to yellowish green, patterned with black spots and stripes - a warning to predators of their deadly nature.
Naturally found in montane (mountain) forests and forest streams, the toads communicate not only through chirping sounds, which they sense without eardrums via sound waves, but also through physical gestures such as waving their limbs to greet others, attract mates or defend territory.
At Brookfield Zoo it is part of a Species Survival Plan – a cooperative breeding programme aimed at preserving a healthy, genetically diverse and self-sustaining population that can preserve the species’ future.

Snow Down Under: Tiere im Aussie Ark Zoo in Barrington Tops erleben ihren ersten Schnee
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
Animals have been seen exploring the first snowfall of the season at an Australian Zoo.
Blizzard-like weather swept through Aussie Ark in Barrington Tops, turning the conservation sanctuary into a breathtaking winter landscape.
While the snowfall wasn’t particularly deep, gusty winds and steady flurries combined to create dramatic, alpine-like conditions that persisted well into the evening. Among those unfazed by the cold were the sanctuary’s Tasmanian Devils, who seemed to thrive in the chill - a climate reminiscent of their native Tasmania.
"A dusting of snow like this is exactly what our Tasmanian Devils love, they come alive in these conditions,' said Dean Reid, Operations Manager at Aussie Ark. "Watching them explore and enjoy the snow is a special reminder of how well-adapted they are to this environment."
As the storm set in, Aussie Ark Rangers mobilised to safeguard the sanctuary’s more vulnerable inhabitants. Young, hand-raised residents like Rufous Bettong, Buttercup, and Parma Wallaby, Petey, were carefully relocated to indoor enclosures to stay warm and sheltered from the icy winds.
In preparation for nightfall, rangers moved swiftly throughout the property, ensuring all animals were fed and comfortable. Each enclosure was checked, with dry straw added as needed to provide extra insulation and warmth. The response was calm and efficient, reflecting the team’s deep experience managing wildlife in Australia’s often unpredictable conditions.
The snowfall comes on the heels of severe flooding that impacted the sanctuary just weeks earlier - a powerful reminder of the ongoing environmental challenges faced in the effort to protect the country’s most threatened species.

Bad Hair Day als Markenzeichen: Nachwuchs bei den Lisztaffen im Edinburgh Zoo
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**
Two adorable baby monkeys - critically endangered cotton-top tamarins to be precise - have been born at Edinburgh Zoo.
The pair of cuties were born to mum Elf and dad Zecca on Tuesday 20 May.
Keepers from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), the wildlife conservation charity who run the zoo, have named the tiny newborn monkeys Sol and Salento.
Lorna Hughes, primate team leader at Edinburgh Zoo, said “It is incredibly exciting to welcome another pair of cotton-top tamarin twins, Sol and Salento. Unfortunately, the species is one of the most endangered primates in the world due to extensive habitat loss, so this year’s new additions are really special.
“Both Elf and Zecca will take turns caring for the youngsters, carrying them on their back for the first few months of their lives before they become more independent at around five months old.”
Weighing just 40g at birth and measuring 10cm from their heads to the tips of their tails, cotton-top tamarins are some of the smallest primates at the zoo. Their name comes from the tuft of white fur that runs from their forehead to their shoulders. Sadly, their distinctive appearance has led to a major population decline as they are targeted by the illegal wildlife trade.

Two adorable baby monkeys - critically endangered cotton-top tamarins to be precise - have been born at Edinburgh Zoo.
The pair of cuties were born to mum Elf and dad Zecca on Tuesday 20 May.
Keepers from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), the wildlife conservation charity who run the zoo, have named the tiny newborn monkeys Sol and Salento.
Lorna Hughes, primate team leader at Edinburgh Zoo, said “It is incredibly exciting to welcome another pair of cotton-top tamarin twins, Sol and Salento. Unfortunately, the species is one of the most endangered primates in the world due to extensive habitat loss, so this year’s new additions are really special.
“Both Elf and Zecca will take turns caring for the youngsters, carrying them on their back for the first few months of their lives before they become more independent at around five months old.”
Weighing just 40g at birth and measuring 10cm from their heads to the tips of their tails, cotton-top tamarins are some of the smallest primates at the zoo. Their name comes from the tuft of white fur that runs from their forehead to their shoulders. Sadly, their distinctive appearance has led to a major population decline as they are targeted by the illegal wildlife trade.

In der freien Wildbahn vom Aussterben bedroht: Nachwuchs bei den Kenia-Bongos im Woburn Safari Park
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!

Keepers at Woburn Safari Park are celebrating the birth of a critically endangered Eastern mountain bongo calf, born on 5 May to first-time mother Odongo and father Sonny.
The newborn is currently nestled safely in the undergrowth of the Park’s African Forest drive-through reserve, under the watchful eye of his devoted mother.
Odongo’s twin sister, Othaya, welcomed her own male calf, Djembe, in October 2024. Now, just months later, Odongo has followed with her own healthy arrival – a milestone moment for both the Park and global conservation efforts for this rare antelope species.
The youngster faced early challenges due to his small size and required gentle physiotherapy from keepers to strengthen his hips and back legs. However, Odongo’s maternal instincts soon took over, and she has proven to be a nurturing and attentive mother. Her care has allowed the calf to grow stronger by the day, embodying the resilience and family bonds that define this species.
The young calf’s first interaction with the rest of the herd was a joyful burst of energy, as he explored his new surroundings. Keepers noted a touching connection between the calf and his older cousin Djembe, who stayed close by and offered gentle reassurance. The pair have been seen greeting one another with tender nose-to-nose nudges – a sweet sign of the strong social bonds within the herd.
Othaya and Odongo themselves are a remarkable pair. Born at Woburn Safari Park on 3 August 2014, they are one of only two sets of surviving Eastern mountain bongo twins ever recorded in captivity. Their close relationship has continued into adulthood, with Odongo helping care for Djembe before becoming a mother herself. The sisters' journey from rare twin calves to supportive mothers is a testament to the strength of familial ties among bongos.

Der Frühling macht's: Baby Boom im Brookfield Zoo in Chicago
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
Brookfield Zoo Chicago has celebrated a remarkable start to the year with the arrival of several newborn animals, including Humboldt penguin chicks, a nyala antelope calf, and a Western grey kangaroo joey.
Since January, the Zoo has witnessed a flurry of births, hatchings, and developmental milestones across a range of species—many of which are threatened or endangered.
Visitors this spring will have the opportunity to see many of these young animals, offering a unique window into the early stages of life for these fascinating creatures.
Dr Sathya Chinnadurai, senior vice president of animal health, welfare and science at Brookfield Zoo Chicago, said: “These new arrivals mark important milestones for each of these species, including many facing population challenges in the wild. Our animal care experts are dedicated to nurturing all animals under our care, providing them with the support they need during milestones like this and throughout their lives. These younglings demonstrate our commitment to protecting biodiversity, and we hope they inspire conservation leadership and connections to wildlife while guests visit Brookfield Zoo Chicago.”
Among the most anticipated arrivals are two Humboldt penguin chicks, hatched in late January to parents Cara and Popero following a breeding recommendation from the AZA Species Survival Plan (SSP). To increase the chicks' survival chances, keepers swapped out the real eggs for artificial ones in the exhibit, allowing staff to provide hands-on care.
One chick is being raised by its parents, while the other has been fostered by another penguin pair, Patty and Valentino. These chicks are expected to join the colony on public view from June.
Native to the western coast of South America, Humboldt penguins are classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN, with fewer than 24,000 estimated in the wild. Brookfield Zoo has maintained a conservation programme in Peru’s Punta San Juan for nearly two deca
