April 2025

Un-bear-ably Adorable

Get ready for a cub-date! Shala, a sloth bear at the San Diego Zoo, welcomed two cubs in early December. Just as they do in native habitats, the duo spent time bonding in their private den before beginning to explore their big, new world. For this vulnerable species, every addition to the global population helps safeguard their future.

Stroll down Center Street on your next visit to the Zoo and see if you can spot Shala’s playful little ones. In the meantime, these adorable cubs need names! You can help us choose by voting in our poll from now until April 1 at noon.
