The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo welcomed three male otter pups in September and they're now joining their parents in the zoo's RainForest.

The trio of pups born to mom "Bitzy" and dad "Kibble" have been doing various activities—from getting acquainted with live fish to having their first experience with water — in preparation for their introduction to the public eagerly awaiting their debut.

These otters are known as Asian small-clawed otters that are native to Asia and are listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

The pups will still have access to their indoor exhibit while they get adjusted to their new living space on the second floor of The RainForest with mom and dad.

Watch the pups play in their new exhibit in the video below.
