Take a look at this amazing footage of five newborn lynx kittens

Pittsburgh Zoo took to Facebook to welcome five Canadian lynx kittens to the world, the first litter of the breed ever born at the zoo.

The kittens were born on May 9 to mother Chayne and father Odr, and were shown to the public in a video which now has over 57,000 views.

Keepers explained the three-week old kittens are beginning to open their eyes and unfold their ears, as well as explore their nesting area.

Lynx Kittens 2018

We are thrilled to announce the birth of five Canadian lynx kittens! This is the first litter of lynx kittens ever born at our Zoo.Instead of using the specially-designed nesting den, the mother, Chayne, chose to give birth nestled in her straw bed in full view of the keepers. Several days later, Chayne carefully carried each kitten into the nesting den where an infrared camera enables keepers to watch over the little family.At this time the kittens are not on exhibit, as they continue to bond with their mother, but will make their debut in the coming weeks! #zooforall #working4wildlifeMore: www.pittsburghzoo.org/News-Meet-Lynx-Kittens
