Brothers in disguise: Jaguar cubs who inherited different coats from their parents bemuse zoo visitors

By ANTHONY BOND

Cute: These Jaguar cubs were born at Berlin Zoo recently. Their mother 'Kiara,' took care of the young animals in a sleeping box for the first six weeks

It's hard to imagine that one day these adorable creatures will turn into fearsome predators which will be capable of killing large animals.
Less than two months since they were born, they look like cuddly little kittens which could curl up on your lap in front of the TV.
But, instead of being house pets, they are actually Jaguar cubs.
The cute animals were born at Berlin Zoo in April, and boast two beautifully contrasting sets of furry coats.
While two of the young cubs have the more usual spotted markings inherited from their mother, one of the baby jaguars has a gorgeous coat of black fur, which it inherited from it's father Roberto.

Wonderful: The birth of the cubs was a moment of celebration for the zoo, which had gone two years without any new Jaguar cubs

The cubs' mother 'Kiara,' took care of the young animals in a sleeping box for the first six weeks. It was a moment of celebration for the zoo, which had gone two years without any new Jaguar cubs.
The Jaguar is a near threatened species with its numbers declining worldwide.

It is the third-largest feline after the tiger and lion.
They can be found in the southern U.S as well as Mexico, central America, southern Paraguay and northern Argentina.
They feed only on meat, preferring large prey such as deer, dogs and foxes.
They will also sometimes eat anacondas and, very rarely, humans.

Nobody's purr-fect: Frank the cross-eyed jaguar becomes the latest animal star




By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Frank the cross-eyed Jaguar is a firm favourite with visitors to Delitzscher Zoo because of his rare eye condition


Frank the Jaguar could be forgiven for not being the biggest fan of tree climbing.
That’s because the 14-year-old Jaguar suffers from a condition that has left him cross-eyed and, just like humans, depth perception isn’t his strongest asset.

But far from purr-fect Frank can take comfort because all the signs point to him becoming a worldwide star from his enclosure at Delitzscher Zoo in Germany.

That’s because Heidi the Possum, who lives in nearby Leipzig Zoo in Germany and is a fellow furry creature with just the same problem, has become a huge internet sensation.

Heidi now has a hit YouTube song, her own toy and more than 300,000 fans on Facebook.

She also learnt this week that she will appear on the Jimmy Kimmel Show on Oscars night, where she is believed to be predicting the award winners – hoping to emulate the powers of another German animal superstar, Paul the Octopus, who correctly guessed World Cup match outcomes.


Face-to-face: Frank the Jaguar must be hoping he can be as successful as Heidi the Possum, who lives at a nearby zoo in Germany. Heidi now has 600,000 fans on Facebook, a hit YouTube song and her own toy


Frank’s spokesman said no one at the zoo quite knows why the jaguar was born with his eye condition, but has adapted very well to his surroundings.

He added: ‘He's very happy but he wouldn't survive in the wild like this.

‘He's not much of a hunter and he doesn't like to climb, but when you look at his eyes you can understand why.’

The condition in humans, known as strabismus, can be genetic, when a part of the brain called the ‘fusion centre’ fails to develop properly. It can also occur through muscle or nerve damage.
