“These little cubs are tremendous ambassadors for their species,” said Scott Silver, Queens Zoo Director. “Andean bears are rarely seen in the wild so it’s extremely special to have an opportunity to watch cubs grow. Guests will also learn about our efforts to protect Andean bears in the wild.”

The cubs looked wide-eyed checking out their new digs after first spending several weeks in their den bonding with their mother.

The cubs are named Brienne and Benny. The two little ones will put a smile on your face!

There are only about 18,000 Andean bears left in the wild.
