The cubs are healthy, growing and love to play and wrestle, according to agency officials. Last week, zoo keepers introduced the cubs to meat for the first time. The animals were a little skeptical at first and it took several times before Gale and Lynn could figure out what it was.

When the weather warms up, keepers will let the cubs outside into their enclosure.
