The month-old cubs, born March 11, were captured on video sitting before press and public at Leningrad Zoo in Saint Petersburg while photographs were taken of the pair. From the same litter, the two cubs – one black, the other spotty – are the fifth brood of mother and father Agnes and Rock.

The jaguars are featured in the video away from their parents, and their father will not be involved in the upbringing of the cubs.
