At eight months olds, the four cubs are leaping, sleeping, pouncing, wrestling and wreaking chaos in equal measure. Watch to see how much has changed since their first timid steps out onto habitat back in March this year.

Our Snow Leopard Cubs names are....🥁🥁🥁
Melbourne Zoo’s four snow leopard cubs - the only snow leopard cubs in the whole of Australia – are described as “feisty”, “energetic” and at least one of them is “quite snoozy”. Now the tiny, three kilogram balls of soft fur have names – and they’re out on habitat.
The four cubs, two girls and two boys, are named Maya, Kira, Lumi and Sabu as voted for by Zoos Victoria members. "The names were inspired by the range countries where snow leopards are found, a wide variety of locations around the Himalayas,” says Keeper Laura.
