For Pepe, these are her first cubs, so the staff are trying to disturb the family as little as possible: the kittens are still staying in the den, feeding on milk, and are only just beginning to open their eyes. Their sex is not yet known.

We wish the little ones to grow up strong, healthy, and curious, and Mama Pepe — peace, strength, and plenty of manul patience and wisdom!💛
