Who's a Cute Little Ocelot Kitten? Who Is? Yes, You Are!

A pair of female ocelot kittens, born at the Woodland Park Zoo on September 23 of last year, are making their first public appearance today at 3 p.m. in the Tropical Rainforest Exhibit, which is kept at 80 percent humidity just like a circuit party. The widdle kittens are named Novia and Corisandra; two weeks ago, Corisandra weighed in at 6.1 pounds and Novia 4.7 pounds. As we understand it, everyone will gather around and then a low hum will turn into "Circle of Life," growing to a crescendo as a baboon lifts them high overhead! Which reminds us that the Lion King is in town, if you haven't gone yet.

Woodland Park Zoo winter hours are 9:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. daily. Winter admission: Adult (13-64) $11; Child (3-12) $8; Toddler (0-2) free. Parking: $5.
