SOUNDBITE: Amanda Ista, big cats zookeeper: "Right now they are about the size of housecats so they are probably 9 or 10, well probably 8 or 9 pounds right now. But they are probably 10 times as strong as a house cat. They have very thick muscles in their neck and their arms and their paws. Their paws are huge."4.

Stacy Johnson, coordinator of the jaguar species survival plan for the American Zoo and Aquarium Association, said their father Pat was born in the wild, which is rare in zoos. He says Pats bringing new genes that will help sustain the population over next 100 years. Vets recently examined and vaccinated them for the first time and inserted tracking chips. They also discovered they are males. Johnson says thats important because there are more female jaguars in zoos than males right now. The cubs were born Nov. 13 to first time mother, Stella. The father was taken in by the Belize Zoo after attacking cattle before coming to the Milwaukee zoo. He even has a book named after him named Pat the Great Cat: A Jaguars Journey.
