Zookeepers paired Kris and Remus for companionship. Remus acts as Kris’ “surrogate sibling” so that they can grow up together.
Kris was born on July 7 at the zoo’s Mast Farm Breeding Center. Kris was the only surviving cub of the litter, and zoo officials decided to hand-raise her. This left Kris alone and without siblings — and then Remus arrived.
Zoo officials rescued Remus from the Animal Rescue Fund. Remus was selected as a sibling for Kris because of his good nature and high energy level.
