The complete schedule follows:

Luna was
born at the Buffalo Zoo on November 27, 2012. She was hand-raised by the Zoo’s
veterinary technician and keeper staff. Kali was orphaned in the wild and
brought to the Buffalo Zoo in May. He is presumed to be about a month younger
than Luna. The Zoo has decided to celebrate their birthdays at the same time
with this special event for visitors.
