Two red pandas were born at the Edmonton Valley Zoo in July.
Kiki and Tango welcome the little ones on July 7, the zoo announced on Friday.
"The three-week-old cubs are nursing well, steadily growing, and hitting all the expected developmental milestones for this stage," the zoo said on Facebook.
"Kiki is an incredibly devoted and attentive first-time mom."
The red pandas are not visible to the public yet because the developmental stage is a critical time for mothers and their cubs.
The zoo now has three generations of red pandas.
