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.

The exhibit is called Wildlife Photographer of the Year -- a happy result of there being a Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. The 2006 winner is Italy's Manuel Presti, one of the many photographers using a Canon EOS. (We counted and 45 photos were shot with Canons, 30 with Nikons, and then there was a smattering of one or two Minoltas, Pentaxes, etc.)
