HOUSTON (KABC) -- Visitors at the Houston Zoo are saying hello to the newest little leopards in Texas.

Koshi and Senja are their names, and they recently made their public debut.

The furry brothers are three months old, and they are the first clouded leopards to be born at the zoo.

Handlers say they're already jumping from tree to tree in their new home.

They'll grow to be about 3 feet long and weigh between 40 and 50 pounds.

They have been under round-the-clock care since their birth in June.

The curator says that in the wild, clouded leopards are very secretive, so they've worked hard to get the cubs comfortable at the zoo with all the people around.
