In celebration of the cute cubs' first birthday, the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo has created a special gift registry for the big cats, featuring items like knucklebones and "meatcicles," and even Calvin Klein cologne.
The items, ranging in price from $10 to $100, will be used as part of an enrichment program "designed to exercise the muscles and minds of the animals."
