MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - There are two new fuzzy faces to see at the Memphis Zoo, as red panda cubs Lucille and Justin made their debut to the public.

The cubs have been hand-raised at the Memphis Zoo's hospital since late this summer. Justin was born July 1 in Memphis; his parents have since been moved to other institutions. Lucille was born on June 21 and transferred from the Bronx Zoo in September as part of the Species Survival Plan.

Lucille and Justin are on exhibit in Cat Country. For more information, visit memphiszoo.org.
