Pagi, a female Bornean sun bear cub whose name means morning in a Malayan dialect, reassured her brother, Palu, who is named after a valley in Borneo, as they made their public debut at the San Diego Zoo. The 5-month-old bears surpassed their keepers expectations by exploring every inch of their habitat, including the highest points of their climbing structures.

A baby western lowland gorilla has made his debut at the San Diego Zoo. Frank was born at the zoo in September and introduced to the public on Friday. Immediately after being placed in the Gorilla Tropics exhibit, Frank began crawling and foraging for food with his mother, 12-year-old Azizi, and the other gorillas. Zoo officials say Frank weighs 13 pounds, but he’s expected to grow to more than 400 pounds by the time he is full grown at about age 15.

Three of four meerkat pups stay close to each other at the San Diego Zoo. The pups are thriving and are scrambling about in their habitat with the whole group of 12 meerkats. After their birth they spent much of their first few weeks in the den. Animal care staff was not even certain how many pups there were initially, as mom would only allow one out at a time. The mother, Ngami, is the dominant female of the group, but the whole troop helps raise the pups.
