Add as preferred source Five young Pallas's cats—dubbed the world's grumpiest felines for their sullen facial expressions—went on display at a zoo in Japan on Thursday.
Kobe Animal Kingdom put the four males and one female, all born at the facility in May, on public display last week.
The animals belong to one of the oldest living cat species and are native to the dry, rocky areas of Central Asia.
They are not commonly displayed at zoos because they are more sensitive to infections, the Kobe zoo said in a written statement to AFP on Monday.
The Kobe kittens weighed around 150 grams (5.3 ounces) when they were born but now weigh more than one kilogram (2.2 pounds) and are starting to eat solid food, including chicken and horse meat, the zoo said.
"We hope people will come and see how healthy they are, playing wholeheartedly and sleeping soundly like kids," the zoo said.
