The Pueblo Zoo just got a whole lot cuter with the addition of three baby lion cubs.

The fluffy lion cubs were born on October 25 to mother Mashavu and father Taz Jahari, the zoo announced Tuesday.

The cubs, one boy and two girls, have been thriving since they were born – weighing in at 9.5, 9.3 and 7.0 pounds during their first checkup on November 16.

Now they'll need to get their vaccinations and grow a bit more before making their debut to the public.

You can see the cubs for yourself in late December (weather dependent) at the zoo’s outdoor lion enclosure.
