Just five weeks old, these twin baby leopards are as inquisitive as they are adorable - which is how they've made friends with a baby orangutan.
Solka and his sister Chant go to Rishi, aged one, for warm cuddles in his already long fur.
The pair, both African leopards were born at The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
They now weigh around two pounds, stand at six inches tall and measure 12 inches from tail to nose.
Hand raised by carers at the institute, these two endangered cubs will grow up to be animal ambassadors at the conservation centre, where people are given extraordinarily close access to the animal kingdom.
