National Zoo's Clouded Leopard Cubs Are Both Boys

Gaaah, the National Zoo is just killing us with this latest round of photos of their new clouded leopard cubs. Today the Zoo announced that both of the cubs are boys, a fact veterinarians weren't able to establish right away. The cubs, who sadly won't be on display at the Zoo, were born two weeks ago at the Zoo’s Conservation and Research Center in Front Royal, Va.

We have just three words for you: Partially. Opened. Eyes!

More: There's also a video after the jump.

I don't know if I'll be able to avoid talking in cute-animal/baby-talk for the rest of the day, those things are just so darn cute.

How come they are always called "cubs"? they are not some mangy bears but kittens. (apologies to all the bear supporters out there, but you get my point)

Canza kissie iddy widdy kitty ona nosie posie?

It's understandable that it took so long for the Zoo to "determine" that the cubs were both boys - Momma Monkeyrotica had the same problem. SNAP!

Word is she still does.

When are they going to start exploiting these things and give the public access to their cuteness? The country is in the mood for something adorable.

Jeez, those Muppets have gotten really ugly since Henson died.

Great. Now my husband is going to want baby leopards. Thanks a lot, DCist!
