The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
On September 22nd, the Mesker Park Zoo welcomed two beautiful jaguar girls born to first time parents Beliza and Cuxtal. The cubs currently weigh 7 pounds, but are gaining weight quickly so we suggest you get to the zoo as fast as possible. However, if a trip to Indiana isn't in the cards in the near future, you can watch them from anywhere in the world via the zoo's live streaming Jaguar Cam!

Caring for new zoo borns is pricey, particularly so for large carnivores, and times three when you have triplets! Well now you can help feed and care for the Akron Zoo's three adorable jaguar cubs through their Care for a Critter Program. Besides the fact that you will be assisting conservation efforts for an endangered species, it also makes a great gift for that zoo/cat lover in your life as the sponsorship package includes a 12-inch plush jaguar, a photo of the cubs, a certificate of sponsorship, a jaguar fact sheet, your name on the zoo’s website and two tickets to the zoo’s Care for a Critter Appreciation Day on September 19, 2009 (if you don't live in Ohio, maybe you can donate the tix to someone in the area).

April 14, is the fourth born in captivity in Peru and still hasn't got
a name.

The Palm Beach Zoo introduced its newest arrival on Monday. With some coaxing, shaking branches, and a toy bouncy ball, Maya was soon out in public view for the first time.
Back in November, ZooBorns reported on the births of two loveable Jaguar cubs at the Brevard Zoo. Now just three months old, the babies can be seen playing, cuddling, and nursing in their exhibit. These photos, taken on December 31 by Eric Hochstadt, show one of the cubs bonding with Mom and exploring a more vegetarian diet.
On September 29, two jaguar cubs were born at Brevard Zoo. The new
arrivals are doing quite well, gaining weight and bonding with their
mother, Masaya. They are expected to go out on exhibit for the first
time in mid to late November. At this time, the sex of each cub is
unknown.
So Valiant!
