Two baby California sea lions have arrived at the Bronx Zoo.

The still unnamed pups were born in June, and although they have two different mothers — Indy and Margaretta — the father of both is Clyde, one of two adult bull sea lions that arrived at the Queens Zoo in 2013, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society. These are his first children since coming to New York.

Indy's pup is a boy, and officials have not been able to determine the gender of Margaretta's pup yet.

California sea lions are not endangered and have healthy populations along the North American west coast, extending from Alaska to Mexico, according to the Bronx Zoo.

The animals are on exhibit at the Bronx Zoo, Central Park Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo, Queens Zoo and New York Aquarium.
