If you're thinking about visiting Philadelphia Zoo in the United States but haven't yet made up your mind it, you should know that this facility is now home to three adorable black-footed kittens.

Between this piece of news and the picture above, you shouldn't have any trouble settling on Philly Zoo as the key destination for your next family trip.

According to Zoo Borns, the three kittens were born earlier this year, on April 8, to mom Aza. Keepers have named them Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion, and say that they are all in good health.

By the looks of it, Drogon and Viserion are both boys, vets who have had the chance to examine the cubs say. Rhaegal, on the other hand, is a stunning lady in the making.

The kittens have made their public debut and now share an enclosure with their mom. Despite being very young, it appears that they don't mind being in the spotlight and have grown accustomed to their surroundings.

Wildlife researchers explain that black-footed cats are native to southern Africa. As adults, males weigh about 1.9 kilograms (4.2 pounds), and females 1.3 kilograms (2.9 pounds).

For the time being, the International Union for Conservation of Nature considers the species to be a vulnerable one. Hence, efforts are being made to breed such felines in captivity.
