Ferocious little beasts
in this photo provided by Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, three 11-week-old male cougar cubs are shown together during their debut at the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom on Thursday in Vallejo, Calif. The trio made one of their first forays out of the parks nursery where the siblings are being hand-reared. The orphaned cougar cubs, named Ashkii, Takada and Yazhi, were acquired from Idaho Fish & Game in March after it was determined they could not be returned to the wild.
